Workspace Search

Search across all folders in the active .code-workspace file.

Prerequisites

If no .code-workspace is active for this session, either use skill ows:select (/ows:select) and tool workspace_select, or pass workspace on workspace_grep / workspace_glob with the .code-workspace file path.

Search by Content (grep)

Use workspace_grep to search file contents across workspace folders.

Parameters:

• pattern (required): regex pattern to search for
• include (optional): file type filter, e.g. "*.ts", "*.{ts,tsx}"
• folders (optional): comma-separated folder names to limit scope

Example flow:

1. User: "search for useState across all projects"
2. Call: workspace_grep pattern="useState" include="*.{ts,tsx}"
3. Present results grouped by folder

Search by Filename (glob)

Use workspace_glob to find files by name pattern across workspace folders.

Parameters:

• pattern (required): glob pattern, e.g. "*.config.*", "package.json"
• folders (optional): comma-separated folder names to limit scope

Example flow:

1. User: "find all package.json in workspace"
2. Call: workspace_glob pattern="package.json"
3. Present results grouped by folder

Tips

• Narrow scope with folders parameter when you know which projects to search
• Combine with include for content search to filter by file type
• Results are capped at 200 matches per folder
