Optimizes file discovery by redirecting basic search commands to the more powerful codebase-locator agent.
The Before File Search skill enhances the intelligence of codebase exploration within Claude Code. By intercepting standard grep and glob commands, it prompts the AI to utilize the specialized codebase-locator subagent for more comprehensive and efficient results. This workflow shift moves beyond simple string matching to intent-based discovery, ensuring developers find relevant components and logic across complex repositories while retaining the ability to use basic tools for quick, manual path verifications.
