What it does

“Use when the user needs to search or navigate code with Sourcegraph MCP tools. Provides disciplined search workflows for finding implementations, understanding systems, debugging issues, fixing bugs, and reviewing code.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill enables agents to search and navigate codebases using Sourcegraph, with guided workflows for finding implementations, understanding systems, debugging issues, fixing bugs, and reviewing code. It provides tool selection logic, search patterns, and efficiency rules to minimize token usage and surface tested solutions before writing new code.

When to use it

  • Locating implementations or understanding unfamiliar code systems
  • Debugging errors, build failures, or runtime exceptions using stack traces
  • Fixing bugs by tracing call chains and checking recent changes
  • Reviewing pull requests or analyzing what code changed

When not to

  • Simple exact-symbol searches where you already know the file location
  • Tasks that don't require exploring or understanding existing code
  • When you need to execute code rather than search it
