name: code-search description: How to effectively search and navigate codebases using KOR's code graph tags: [code, search, navigation, symbols]

Code Search Skill

Use this skill when you need to search for code symbols, navigate a codebase, or understand code structure.

Available Tools

• search-symbols: Search for functions, classes, and variables by name
• read-file: Read file contents

Best Practices

1. Start with symbol search: Before reading entire files, search for specific symbols to find exactly what you need.

2. Use partial matches: The search supports partial name matching, so search for user to find UserService, get_user, etc.

3. Filter by type: When available, filter by symbol type (function, class, variable).

4. Navigate from symbols: Once you find a symbol, use its file path to read the surrounding context.

Example Workflow

1. User asks: "Find the login function"
2. Use search-symbols with query "login"
3. Review results: login_user in auth/service.py:42
4. Use read-file to read auth/service.py around line 42
