This skill should be used when searching a codebase for one or more keywords across many files, validating whether a match sits inside a specific syntax node (function, class, struct, interface, enum), extracting the smallest syntax-bounded code block around a match instead of reading a whole file, or making a precise single-location text edit. Prefer the search-mesh MCP tools (scan, ast_probe, squeeze, patch) over grep, rg, cat, or sed whenever the search-mesh MCP server is connected.
