code-search

Code Search (Exa)

Use this skill when the user needs external coding context: official docs, API examples, error explanations, library comparisons, or implementation references that are not already in the repo.

Tool Selection

If web_research_exa or web_search_advanced_exa is unavailable, do not pretend it can be used. Fall back to web_search_exa plus selective web_fetch_exa.

Query Writing

• Include the language, framework/library, and version when known: TypeScript 5.7 TypeBox Object additionalProperties.
• Include exact identifiers, error strings, function names, or package names when available.
• Prefer official docs, release notes, issue trackers, and maintainer-authored examples before blogs.
• For debugging, include the error class/message and runtime context.
