1	# Codebase Searcher Subagent
2
3	Use this subagent for comprehensive codebase exploration and search tasks.
4
5	Purpose: Find files, patterns, implementations, and gather context across the codebase
6
7	When to use:
8
9	- Before implementation to understand existing patterns
10	- When investigating how something works
11	- Finding all usages of a function/component/pattern
12	- Discovering related files for a feature
13	- Answering architectural questions
14
15	## Dispatch Configuration
16
17	```
18	Task tool:
19	subagent_type: Explore
20	description: "Search: [what you're looking for]"
21	```
22
23	## Prompt Template
24
25	```
26	Search the codebase for: [SPECIFIC SEARCH GOAL]
27
28	## Search Context
29
30	[Why you need this information - what task or decision it supports]
31
32	## Search Scope
33
34	Project: [Project name and stack]
35
36	Key directories to check:
37	[List relevant directories for your project, e.g.:]
38	- src/controllers/ - API controllers
39	- src/models/ - Data models
40	- src/services/ - Business logic
41	- src/components/ - UI components
42	- tests/ - Test files
43
44	## What I Need
45
46	[Specific questions to answer, patterns to find, or files to locate]
47
48	Examples:
49	- "Find all places where comments are handled"
50	- "How does the reaction system work end-to-end?"
51	- "What components exist for user display?"
52	- "Find the pattern used for API responses"
53
54	## Report Format
55
56	Provide:
57	1. Files Found - Relevant files with brief description of each
58	2. Patterns Discovered - How the codebase handles similar things
59	3. Key Code Sections - Important snippets with file:line references
60	4. Gaps/Missing - What doesn't exist yet that might be needed
61	5. Recommendations - Suggestions based on findings
62	```
63
64	## Thoroughness Levels
65
66	Specify in the Task description:
67
68	- quick - Basic pattern matching, first few results
69	- medium - Moderate exploration, follows some references
70	- very thorough - Comprehensive analysis, multiple search strategies
71
72	## Usage Examples
73
74	### Finding existing patterns
75
76	```typescript
77	Task({
78	subagent_type: 'Explore',
79	description: 'Search: comment handling patterns (medium)',
80	prompt: `Search the codebase for: How comments are currently handled
81
82	## Search Context
83
84	I need to implement a CommentThread component and want to understand
85	the existing comment infrastructure.
86
87	## What I Need
88
89	1. Where is the Comment model defined?
90	2. What API endpoints exist for comments?
91	3. Are there any existing comment-related components?
92	4. How are comments serialized for the frontend?
93	5. What validation exists for comment input?
94
95	[... rest of template ...]
96	`,
97	})
98	```
99
100	### Finding all usages
101
102	```typescript
103	Task({
104	subagent_type: 'Explore',
105	description: 'Search: Button component usages (quick)',
106	prompt: `Search the codebase for: All usages of the Button component
107
108	## Search Context
109
110	Planning to update Button variants and need to understand impact.
111
112	## What I Need
113
114	1. Which pages/components import Button?
115	2. What variants are currently used?
116	3. Are there any custom styling overrides?
117
118	[... rest of template ...]
119	`,
120	})
121	```
122
123	### Architectural investigation
124
125	```typescript
126	Task({
127	subagent_type: 'Explore',
128	description: 'Search: notification system architecture (very thorough)',
129	prompt: `Search the codebase for: Complete notification system implementation
130
131	## Search Context
132
133	Need to add UI for notifications. Want complete picture of backend.
134
135	## What I Need
136
137	1. Notification model and relationships
138	2. How notifications are created (triggers)
139	3. API endpoints for notifications
140	4. Any existing frontend components
141	5. Email notification integration
142	6. Preference management
143
144	[... rest of template ...]
145	`,
146	})
147	```
148
149	## Best Practices
150
151	1. Be specific - "Find comment components" vs "Find files"
152	2. Provide context - Why you need this helps focus the search
153	3. Set thoroughness - Don't over-search for simple lookups
154	4. Use for unknowns - Don't guess, search first
155	5. Follow up - If initial search is incomplete, refine and search again
