refactor: remove MCP code-index dependency, replace with ripgrep/find

Replace all mcp__code-index__ calls with native ripgrep and find commands
across workflow and command files for better performance and portability.

Changes:
- Remove 41 mcp__code-index__ function calls from 12 files
- Replace with ripgrep (rg) for content search
- Replace with find for file discovery
- Remove index refresh dependencies (no longer needed)

Modified files:
- workflow/tools: context-gather, test-context-gather, task-generate-agent,
  task-generate, test-task-generate (core workflow tools)
- workflow: review (security scanning)
- memory: load, update-related, docs (memory management)
- cli/mode: plan, bug-index, code-analysis (CLI modes)

Documentation updates:
- Simplify mcp-tool-strategy.md to only Exa usage (5 lines)
- Streamline context-search-strategy.md to 69 lines
- Standardize codebase-retrieval syntax per intelligent-tools-strategy.md

Benefits:
- Faster search with ripgrep (no index overhead)
- Better cross-platform compatibility
- Simpler configuration (fewer MCP dependencies)
- -232 lines of code removed

## ⚡ Core Search Tools

**rg (ripgrep)**: Fast content search with regex support

**grep**: Built-in pattern matching (fallback when rg unavailable)
**get_modules_by_depth.sh**: Program architecture analysis (MANDATORY before planning)
### Decision Principles
- **Use codebase-retrieval for semantic discovery** - Intelligent file discovery based on task context
- **Use rg for content** - Fastest for searching within files
- **Use find for files** - Locate files/directories by name
- **Use grep sparingly** - Only when rg unavailable
- **Use get_modules_by_depth.sh first** - MANDATORY for program architecture analysis before planning
- **Always use Bash commands** - NEVER use Windows cmd/PowerShell commands

# MCP Tool Strategy: Triggers & Workflows
# MCP Tool Strategy: Exa Usage
## ⚡ Triggering Mechanisms
## ⚡ Exa Triggering Mechanisms
**Auto-Trigger Scenarios**:
**Auto-Trigger**:
- User mentions "exa-code" or code-related queries → `mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa`
- Need current web information → `mcp__exa__web_search_exa`
- Finding code patterns/files → `mcp__code-index__search_code_advanced`
- Locating specific files → `mcp__code-index__find_files`
**Manual Trigger Rules**:
**Manual Trigger**:
- Complex API research → Exa Code Context
- Architecture pattern discovery → Exa Code Context + Gemini analysis
- Real-time information needs → Exa Web Search
- Codebase exploration → Code Index tools first, then Gemini analysis
## 🎯 Available MCP Tools
### Exa Code Context (mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa)
**Purpose**: Search and get relevant context for programming tasks
**Strengths**: Highest quality context for libraries, SDKs, and APIs
**Best For**: Code examples, API patterns, learning frameworks
**Usage**:
```bash
mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(
query="React useState hook examples",
tokensNum="dynamic" # or 1000-50000
)
```
**Examples**: "React useState", "Python pandas filtering", "Express.js middleware"
### Exa Web Search (mcp__exa__web_search_exa)
**Purpose**: Real-time web searches with content scraping
**Best For**: Current information, research, recent solutions
**Usage**:
```bash
mcp__exa__web_search_exa(
query="latest React 18 features",
numResults=5 # default: 5
)
```
### Code Index Tools (mcp__code-index__)
**核心方法**: `search_code_advanced`, `find_files`, `refresh_index`
**核心搜索**:
```bash
mcp__code-index__search_code_advanced(pattern="function.*auth", file_pattern="*.ts")
mcp__code-index__find_files(pattern="*.test.js")
mcp__code-index__refresh_index() # git操作后刷新
```
**实用场景**:
- **查找代码**: `search_code_advanced(pattern="old.*API")`
- **定位文件**: `find_files(pattern="src/**/*.tsx")`
- **更新索引**: `refresh_index()` (git操作后)
**文件搜索测试结果**:
-`find_files(pattern="*.md")` - 搜索所有 Markdown 文件
-`find_files(pattern="*complete*")` - 通配符匹配文件名
-`find_files(pattern="complete.md")` - 精确匹配可能失败
- 📝 建议使用通配符模式获得更好的搜索结果

### Enhanced Planning
1. **Explore codebase** with Code Index tools
2. **Research** with Exa Web Search
3. **Get code context** with Exa Code Context
4. **Analyze** with Gemini
5. **Architect** with Qwen
6. **Implement** with Codex
## 🔧 Best Practices
### Code Index
- **Search first** - Use before external tools for codebase exploration
- **Refresh after git ops** - Keep index synchronized
- **Pattern specificity** - Use precise regex patterns for better results
- **File patterns** - Combine with glob patterns for targeted search
- **Glob pattern matching** - Use `*.md`, `*complete*` patterns for file discovery
- **Exact vs wildcard** - Exact names may fail, use wildcards for better results
### Exa Code Context
- **Use "dynamic" tokens** for efficiency
- **Be specific** - include technology stack
- **MANDATORY** when user mentions exa-code or code queries
### Exa Web Search
- **Default 5 results** usually sufficient
- **Use for current info** - supplement knowledge cutoff
## 🎯 Common Scenarios
### Learning New Technology
```bash
# Explore existing patterns + get examples + research + analyze
mcp__code-index__search_code_advanced(pattern="router|routing", file_pattern="*.ts")
mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query="Next.js 14 app router", tokensNum="dynamic")
mcp__exa__web_search_exa(query="Next.js 14 best practices 2024", numResults=3)
cd "src/app" && gemini "Learn Next.js patterns"
```
### Debugging
```bash
# Find similar patterns + solutions + fix
mcp__code-index__search_code_advanced(pattern="similar.*error", file_pattern="*.ts")
mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa(query="TypeScript generic constraints", tokensNum="dynamic")
codex --full-auto exec "Fix TypeScript issues" -s danger-full-access
```
### Codebase Exploration
```bash
# Comprehensive codebase understanding workflow
mcp__code-index__set_project_path(path="/current/project") # 设置项目路径
mcp__code-index__refresh_index() # 刷新索引
mcp__code-index__find_files(pattern="*auth*") # Find auth-related files
mcp__code-index__search_code_advanced(pattern="function.*auth", file_pattern="*.ts") # Find auth functions
mcp__code-index__get_file_summary(file_path="src/auth/index.ts") # Understand structure
cd "src/auth" && gemini "Analyze auth architecture"
```
### Project Setup Workflow
```bash
# 新项目初始化流程
mcp__code-index__set_project_path(path="/path/to/new/project")
mcp__code-index__get_settings_info() # 确认设置
mcp__code-index__refresh_index() # 建立索引
mcp__code-index__configure_file_watcher(enabled=true) # 启用文件监控
mcp__code-index__get_file_watcher_status() # 确认监控状态
```
## ⚡ Performance Tips
- **Code Index first** → explore codebase before external tools
- **Use "dynamic" tokens** for Exa Code Context
- **MCP first** → gather context before analysis
- **Focus queries** - avoid overly broad searches
- **Integrate selectively** - use relevant context only
- **Refresh index** after major git operations
