# Codebase Navigator

> **Use this skill FIRST** when exploring code, finding files, or understanding project structure.

## Quick Start

### Search scripts (preferred)

Run the bundled scripts for common searches:

```bash
# Find functions/methods
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh functions <pattern>

# Find React components
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh components <pattern>

# Find API endpoints
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh endpoints

# Trace an API flow end-to-end
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh api-flow <endpoint>

# Trace a data field from backend to UI
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh data-flow <field_name>

# Find component hierarchy
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh component-tree <ComponentName>
```

### Direct ripgrep patterns

```bash
# Find any symbol
rg --no-heading -n '\bMySymbol\b' apps/

# Python function definitions
rg --no-heading -n '(def|async def) my_function' apps/backend/ --type py

# React component usage
rg --no-heading -n '<MyComponent' apps/frontend/ --glob '*.tsx'

# Pydantic models
rg --no-heading -n 'class My.*BaseModel' apps/backend/ --type py

# API route handlers
rg --no-heading -n '@(router|app)\.(get|post|put|patch|delete)' apps/backend/ --type py
```

| Frontend architecture | `docs/agent/architecture/frontend-architecture.md` |
| API contracts | `docs/agent/apis/front-end-apis.md` |
| API flow maps | `docs/agent/apis/api-flow-maps.md` |

## Common Workflows

### "Where is X defined?"
```bash
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh functions my_function
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh components MyComponent
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh classes MyClass
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh types MyType
```

### "What calls X?"
```bash
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh usage my_function
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/search.sh deps my_file.py
```

### "How does data flow for feature X?"
```bash
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh api-flow resumes
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh data-flow personalInfo
.agents/skills/codebase-navigator/scripts/trace.sh component-tree ResumeEditor
```
