About this Skill

Explore a codebase with tree-sitter search, outlines, and selective symbol expansion instead of loading every file.

Why we picked it

A reusable workflow from the Claude-Mem project. It is listed separately to explain this task; shared runtime and helper dependencies remain part of the upstream installation. The inherited gallery demonstrates the memory system, not this task’s specific output.

What it helps with

  • Locate a function, inspect module structure, or trace unfamiliar code while controlling context size.

How the workflow runs

  1. Step 1

    Search for the target symbols or behavior and select candidate files.

  2. Step 2

    Read structural outlines before loading implementations.

  3. Step 3

    Expand only the relevant symbols; use ordinary reads for configuration or unsupported formats.

Expected result

A source-linked explanation of the relevant code structure and implementation.

  1. Example request

    After installing the required integration, ask your agent:

    Find the authentication entrypoints and show only the functions involved in session expiry.

Before you use it

  • Claude-Mem MCP structural tools smart_search, smart_outline, and smart_unfold; language grammar support must be available.
  • Use the original upstream files and follow the documented host integration. Model or third-party service usage can carry separate costs.
