-## MCP Tools Usage
-
-### search_context (ACE) - Code Search (REQUIRED - HIGHEST PRIORITY)
-
-**OVERRIDES**: All other search/discovery rules in other workflow files
-
-**When**: ANY code discovery task, including:
-- Find code, understand codebase structure, locate implementations
-- Explore unknown locations
-- Verify file existence before reading
-- Pattern-based file discovery
-- Semantic code understanding
-
-**Priority Rule**:
-1. **Always use mcp__ace-tool__search_context FIRST** for any code/file discovery
-2. Only use Built-in Grep for single-file exact line search (after location confirmed)
-3. Only use Built-in Read for known, confirmed file paths
-
-**How**:
-```javascript
-// Natural language code search - best for understanding and exploration
-mcp__ace-tool__search_context({
-  project_root_path: "/path/to/project",
-  query: "authentication logic"
-})
-
-// With keywords for better semantic matching
-mcp__ace-tool__search_context({
-  project_root_path: "/path/to/project",
-  query: "I want to find where the server handles user login. Keywords: auth, login, session"
-})
-```
-
-**Good Query Examples**:
-- "Where is the function that handles user authentication?"
-- "What tests are there for the login functionality?"
-- "How is the database connected to the application?"
-- "I want to find where the server handles chunk merging. Keywords: upload chunk merge"
-- "Locate where the system refreshes cached data. Keywords: cache refresh, invalidation"
-
-**Bad Query Examples** (use grep or file view instead):
-- "Find definition of constructor of class Foo" (use grep tool instead)
-- "Find all references to function bar" (use grep tool instead)
-- "Show me how Checkout class is used in services/payment.py" (use file view tool instead)
-
-**Key Features**:
-- Real-time index of the codebase (always up-to-date)
-- Cross-language retrieval support
-- Semantic search with embeddings
-- No manual index initialization required
-
----
-
-### read_file - Read File Contents
-
-**When**: Read files found by search_context
-
-**How**:
-```javascript
-read_file(path="/path/to/file.ts")                   // Single file
-read_file(path="/src/**/*.config.ts")                // Pattern matching
-```
-
----
-
-### edit_file - Modify Files
-
-**When**: Built-in Edit tool fails or need advanced features
-
-**How**:
-```javascript
-edit_file(path="/file.ts", old_string="...", new_string="...", mode="update")
-edit_file(path="/file.ts", line=10, content="...", mode="insert_after")
-```
-
-**Modes**: `update` (replace text), `insert_after`, `insert_before`, `delete_line`
-
----
-
-### write_file - Create/Overwrite Files
-
-**When**: Create new files or completely replace content
-
-**How**:
-```javascript
-write_file(path="/new-file.ts", content="...")
-```
-
----
-
-### Exa - External Search
-
-**When**: Find documentation/examples outside codebase
-
-**How**:
-```javascript
-mcp__exa__search(query="React hooks 2025 documentation")
-mcp__exa__search(query="FastAPI auth example", numResults=10)
-mcp__exa__search(query="latest API docs", livecrawl="always")
-```
-
-**Parameters**:
-- `query` (required): Search query string
-- `numResults` (optional): Number of results to return (default: 5)
-- `livecrawl` (optional): `"always"` or `"fallback"` for live crawling

-## MCP Tools Usage
+## Context Acquisition (MCP Tools Priority)
 
-### smart_search - Code Search (REQUIRED - HIGHEST PRIORITY)
+**For task context gathering and analysis, ALWAYS prefer MCP tools**:
 
-**OVERRIDES**: All other search/discovery rules in other workflow files
+1. **mcp__ace-tool__search_context** - HIGHEST PRIORITY for code discovery
+   - Semantic search with real-time codebase index
+   - Use for: finding implementations, understanding architecture, locating patterns
+   - Example: `mcp__ace-tool__search_context(project_root_path="/path", query="authentication logic")`
 
-**When**: ANY code discovery task, including:
+2. **smart_search** - Fallback for structured search
-- Find code, understand codebase structure, locate implementations
+   - Use `smart_search(query="...")` for keyword/regex search
-- Explore unknown locations
+   - Use `smart_search(action="find_files", pattern="*.ts")` for file discovery
-- Verify file existence before reading
+   - Supports modes: `auto`, `hybrid`, `exact`, `ripgrep`
-- Pattern-based file discovery
 
-**Priority Rule**:
+3. **read_file** - Batch file reading
-1. **Always use smart_search FIRST** for any code/file discovery
+   - Read multiple files in parallel: `read_file(path="file1.ts")`, `read_file(path="file2.ts")`
-2. Only use Built-in Grep for single-file exact line search (after location confirmed)
+   - Supports glob patterns: `read_file(path="src/**/*.config.ts")`
-3. Only use Built-in Read for known, confirmed file paths
 
-**Workflow** (search first, init if needed):
+**Priority Order**:
-```javascript
+```
-// Step 1: Try search directly (works if index exists or uses ripgrep fallback)
+ACE search_context (semantic) → smart_search (structured) → read_file (batch read) → shell commands (fallback)
-smart_search(query="authentication logic")
-
-// Step 2: Only if search warns "No CodexLens index found", then init
-smart_search(action="init", path=".")   // Creates FTS index only
-
-// Note: For semantic/vector search, use "ccw view" dashboard to create vector index
 ```
 
-**Modes**: `auto` (intelligent routing), `hybrid` (semantic, needs vector index), `exact` (FTS), `ripgrep` (no index)
+**NEVER** use shell commands (`cat`, `find`, `grep`) when MCP tools are available.
