Context Search Strategy

⚡ Execution Environment

CRITICAL: All commands execute in Bash environment (Git Bash on Windows)

❌ Forbidden: Windows commands (findstr, dir, where) - Use Bash (grep, find, cat)

⚡ Core Search Tools

Skill(): FASTEST way to get context - use FIRST if SKILL exists. Three types: (1) workflow-progress for WFS sessions (2) tech SKILLs for stack docs (3) {project-name} for project docs codebase-retrieval: Semantic file discovery via Gemini CLI with all files analysis rg (ripgrep): Fast content search with regex support find: File/directory location by name patterns grep: Built-in pattern matching (fallback when rg unavailable) get_modules_by_depth.sh: Program architecture analysis (MANDATORY before planning)

🔧 Quick Command Reference

# Semantic File Discovery (codebase-retrieval via CCW)
ccw cli exec "
PURPOSE: Discover files relevant to task/feature
TASK: • List all files related to [task/feature description]
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @**/*
EXPECTED: Relevant file paths with relevance explanation
RULES: Focus on direct relevance to task requirements | analysis=READ-ONLY
" --tool gemini --cd [directory]

# Program Architecture (MANDATORY before planning)
ccw tool exec get_modules_by_depth '{}'

# Content Search (rg preferred)
rg "pattern" --type js -n        # Search JS files with line numbers
rg -i "case-insensitive"         # Ignore case
rg -C 3 "context"                # Show 3 lines before/after

# File Search
find . -name "*.ts" -type f      # Find TypeScript files
find . -path "*/node_modules" -prune -o -name "*.js" -print

# Workflow Examples
rg "IMPL-\d+" .workflow/ --type json                    # Find task IDs
find .workflow/ -name "*.json" -path "*/.task/*"        # Locate task files
rg "status.*pending" .workflow/.task/                   # Find pending tasks

⚡ Performance Tips

• rg > grep for content search
• Use --type filters to limit file types
• Exclude dirs: --glob '!node_modules'
• Use -F for literal strings (no regex)
