What output does pi-finder-subagent provide after scouting?
Pi-finder-subagent produces an actionable file shortlist with citations and line ranges for each match. It also saves a focused report to your workspace, giving you a prioritized view of relevant code sections and directories to guide your next development steps.
Can pi-finder-subagent locate specific code sections and line ranges?
Yes. Pi-finder-subagent identifies specific code sections in your local project and pinpoints exact line ranges within matched files. This precision helps you jump directly to the implementation context you need without scanning entire files manually.
How does pi-finder-subagent reduce search scope in large projects?
Pi-finder-subagent narrows implementation context by prioritizing key files and directories in your repository. It filters results to focus on the most relevant symbols and file paths, reducing noise and helping you concentrate on the sections that matter most for your coding task.
Scout my codebase for specific files—what does pi-finder-subagent do?
Pi-finder-subagent scouts your workspace to discover files matching your feature or implementation query. It searches local files for relevant context, identifies related code snippets, and outputs a shortlist with citations so you can quickly understand the scope before you start coding.

Pi-finder-subagent
Purpose
Read-only local workspace scout subagent for Pi. Use it to narrow context to relevant files/snippets before implementation.
Routing
- Use when: Use when users ask to scout the local repository, identify relevant files/snippets, or reduce context before coding.
- Do not use when: Do not use for remote GitHub-first research across external repositories; use pi-librarian instead.
- Outputs: A cited local-file shortlist with line ranges plus a saved report at {artifactDir}/finder-report.md.
- Success criteria: Finder completes with concrete file paths, line ranges, and focused next steps that reduce implementation context.
