You need to gather all context for task $ARGUMENTS thoroughly.
jbcontext searchSemantic code search that finds code by meaning, not just exact keywords.
jbcontext search "<descriptive query>" [path]
jbcontext search -p <path> "<query>" # <path> must be relative to the project root
Query Tips:
jbcontext search with general terms to understand the landscape-p) once you identify relevant directories# Find authentication-related code
jbcontext search "user authentication login"
# Narrow to specific directory
jbcontext search -p src/auth "JWT token validation"
Explore and understand unfamiliar codebases using semantic code search
Experimental jbcontext org-wide blast-radius analysis across multiple repositories. Use when Codex needs to estimate the impact of changing an API, endpoint, schema, event, shared library, config, feature flag, data model, behavior, or dependency by finding producers, consumers, owners, tests, and related repos.
Install jbcontext and complete first-time setup — login and configure agent integration. Use when `jbcontext` is not found or the user asks to install jbcontext.
Use this skill to review code changes using semantic search to understand context and impact
Experimental jbcontext org-wide dependency search across multiple repositories. Use when need to find APIs in other repositories, or dependency configuration are used across repos for upgrades, removals, CVEs, migrations, or ownership discovery.
