When does Context Finder activate?

It triggers automatically when you use search-oriented phrases like 'find', 'search', 'where is', 'trace', or 'what file' in your prompt.

Do I need to manually call the subagent?

No, the skill is designed to proactively spawn a specialized context-finder subagent whenever it detects you need to locate information.

Does it require any external tools?

It utilizes standard tools like git and grep, and benefits from having the GitHub CLI (gh) installed to search through repository issues.

Can it help me find code that was recently deleted?

Yes, by searching through the git log, it can identify previous commits and history even if the code is no longer in the current working directory.

What sources does the Context Finder skill search?

It searches four primary areas: git history via logs, current files via grep, GitHub issues via the gh CLI, and internal project retrospectives.

Productivity & Workflow

Automatically searches codebase history, files, and issues to locate specific context or project information.

About

Context Finder is a specialized agent designed to streamline information retrieval within complex development projects. By proactively monitoring for search-related queries such as "where is" or "did we work on X," it automatically scans git history, GitHub issues, local files, and session retrospectives to provide a comprehensive overview. This skill eliminates the manual effort of running complex grep commands or navigating git logs, surfacing relevant commits, file paths, and discussions directly within your workflow.
