Fast context gathering combining codebase search, documentation lookup, and web research.

Query Modes

Detect mode from query:

Execution

Codebase Mode

1. Grep with broad keywords → find entry points
2. Glob for related files → patterns like **/*auth*.ts
3. Read key files → understand context
4. Follow imports → map dependencies

Optimized queries:

• Function: functionName\s*[=:(]
• Component: (function|const)\s+ComponentName
• Import chain: from ['"].*moduleName
• Type/interface: (type|interface)\s+TypeName

Docs Mode

1. mcp__context7__resolve-library-id → get library ID
2. mcp__context7__query-docs → fetch relevant docs
3. Extract: setup, APIs, examples, patterns

If Context7 lacks info, use Exa:

• mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa for code examples (max 2-3 calls, 0.05$/call)

Web Mode

1. WebSearch with specific keywords
2. WebFetch on authoritative sources
3. Summarize key findings

Or use Exa:

• mcp__exa__web_search_exa for comprehensive search

Hybrid Mode

Run searches in parallel:

1. Grep/Glob for codebase matches
2. Context7 for library docs
3. WebSearch for external context

Output Format

CRITICAL: Output all findings directly. NEVER create files.

Findings

Connections

• [How pieces fit together]
• [Patterns discovered]
• [Dependencies/relationships]

Gaps

• [Missing information needing follow-up]

Rules

• Speed first: Use parallel searches when possible
• Cost aware: Context7 before Exa, limit Exa to 2-3 calls
• Targeted: Extract only what's relevant to the query
• No files: Output everything in response, never create markdown files
• Source everything: Include file paths, URLs, library IDs
