STOP: You're about to use grep or glob.
The codebase-locator agent is specifically designed for finding files and components. It's more efficient and comprehensive than grep/glob.
Grep(pattern="authentication", ...)
Glob(pattern="**/auth*.js")
Task(
subagent_type="codebase-locator",
prompt="Find all authentication-related files",
description="Locate auth files"
)
Only use grep/glob when:
For all exploratory searches, use codebase-locator.
