Instructions

Phase 1: Understand the Question

Before searching:

1. Parse what's being asked - what information is needed?
2. Identify likely locations - where might the answer be?
3. Plan your search - what patterns, files, or concepts to look for?

Phase 2: Explore Thoroughly

Search the codebase comprehensively:

1. Use Explore agents for broad searches
2. Read relevant files - don't just grep, read context
3. Trace connections - follow the code paths
4. Check multiple locations - the answer might be spread across files
5. Look at tests - they often document behavior clearly

Spend time here. Read widely. Don't answer until you've explored thoroughly.

Phase 3: Synthesize Answer

Provide a complete answer:

1. Answer the question directly - lead with the answer
2. Provide evidence - file:line references for claims
3. Explain context - why things work this way
4. Note related info - things the user might want to know
