Use when running workspace tests, choosing a test command, or summarizing results before handoff to debugger.
Use when: running pre-commit or pre-push CI-equivalent checks in any workspace — discovers workflow commands with Cursor tools, filters for local executability, scopes to staged changes, and runs checks cheapest-first.
Use when the user wants to install or customize cursorAssistant in the current project (GitHub install or configure).

Use when: discovering package manifests, assessing dependency health, finding replacements, or confirming import usage before removal — discovery only; mutating installs are handled by the deps agent.

| version | 1.1 |
| license | MIT |
Procedural skill for selecting, executing, and acting on workspace searches in Cursor. Different intents need different tools; this skill routes first, refines on poor results, then dispatches findings.
| Intent | Best method |
|---|---|
| Exact string, identifier, or known phrase | Grep (fixed string) |
| Regex or alternation | Grep (regex) |
| Concept, purpose, natural-language | SemanticSearch |
| Files by name or path pattern | Glob |
| Read a known path | Read |
Scope before searching: pass a directory or glob to Grep/Glob when the target area is known.
Batch: issue independent searches in parallel when both exact and semantic views help.
| Symptom | Refinement |
|---|---|
| Zero results (exact) | Shorter substring; regex alternation |
| Zero results (semantic) | More concrete query; fall back to Grep for a key term |
| Zero results (glob) | Broaden pattern (e.g. **/*.py) |
| Too many hits | Narrow directory/glob; tighten pattern |
| Vendor/generated noise | Exclude node_modules, dist, .venv, __pycache__ from conclusions |
Do not repeat the same query twice. One refinement, then report failure with attempted queries.
| Goal | Action |
|---|---|
| Summarize scope | Count + representative paths; do not dump every match |
| Refactor scope | File list for the implementation step |
| Documentation | Quote 2–3 representative matches with paths |
| Unused symbol check | Zero imports across Grep patterns before claiming unused |
Use workspace-relative paths in summaries.
