| description | Deep codebase search — thorough multi-angle exploration with cross-validation |
| tags | ["search","exploration"] |
When to Use
- User says "deepsearch" or wants an exhaustive codebase search
- Need to find all occurrences of a pattern, not just the first match
- Complex search requiring multiple strategies (name, usage, tests, docs)
Workflow
- Search from 5+ angles: exact name, camelCase/snake_case variants, usages, tests, docs, config. Delegate to @omg:explore for thorough codebase mapping.
- Cross-validate findings across search strategies
- If results are insufficient, follow up with targeted
grep/glob searches
- For symbol-level search: check imports, exports, type definitions, test mocks
- Present structured findings with relationships
Output
Follows @omg:explore output format: Findings, Impact, Relationships, Recommendation, Next Steps.
