opengrok-mcp-server

Use this skill whenever the user wants to search, navigate, or understand source code in a large codebase — even when they don't say "OpenGrok". Trigger for: finding where a function or class is defined, tracking where something is called or referenced, reading a remote source file, checking who last changed a line (blame/annotate), browsing a directory tree, exploring commit history, or comparing code across projects. Activate when the user says "search the codebase", "find where X is defined", "who changed this", "show me the source for", "look up that function", or mentions cross-referencing or OpenGrok by name. If the target code lives on a remote server or indexed repository rather than locally, this skill applies.

Use this skill when conducting a structured investigation into a bug, unknown module, or impact analysis using OpenGrok. Provides step-by-step methodology for systematic codebase investigation with memory-backed state management. Trigger when: diagnosing a bug with unknown root cause, exploring an unfamiliar module, tracing a call chain, or assessing the impact of a change.

Session lifecycle management for OpenGrok MCP investigations. Use this skill to understand how to start, maintain, and complete an OpenGrok session with proper memory bank state management. Trigger at session start when you know an investigation will span multiple turns, or when restoring a prior session.
