# Code Search Skill
Use this skill when you need to search for code symbols, navigate a codebase,
or understand code structure.
## Available Tools
- `search-symbols`: Search for functions, classes, and variables by name
- `read-file`: Read file contents
## Best Practices
1. **Start with symbol search**: Before reading entire files, search for specific
symbols to find exactly what you need.
2. **Use partial matches**: The search supports partial name matching, so search
for `user` to find `UserService`, `get_user`, etc.
3. **Filter by type**: When available, filter by symbol type (function, class, variable).
4. **Navigate from symbols**: Once you find a symbol, use its file path to read
the surrounding context.
## Example Workflow
1. User asks: "Find the login function"
2. Use `search-symbols` with query "login"
3. Review results: `login_user` in `auth/service.py:42`
4. Use `read-file` to read `auth/service.py` around line 42
