AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I find files across directories with vc-scout?
vc-scout locates files across your codebase using shell search patterns and optional parallel research agents. Specify your search criteria—by filename, extension, or pattern—and vc-scout divides the search space across multiple directories to accelerate discovery. This approach helps you quickly understand project structure and gather context before making changes that might affect multiple codebase parts.
Can vc-scout search for files by extension?
Yes. vc-scout supports searching for files matching specific patterns or extensions to scope a task or feature. You can target TypeScript files, configuration files, or any other file type by specifying the extension or pattern you need. This focused search helps you efficiently locate all relevant files without scanning the entire codebase.
Does vc-scout search multiple directories in parallel?
vc-scout can search multiple directories in parallel using optional parallel research agents to divide large search spaces. This parallel approach accelerates file discovery across your project, making it practical to search large codebases without consuming excessive tokens or waiting for sequential scans to complete.
Where does this feature live in the code with vc-scout?
vc-scout helps you locate where features and functions are defined across your codebase. By searching for specific code patterns, filenames, or references, you can quickly identify which files contain the code you're looking for, making it easier to understand dependencies and plan changes that span multiple parts of your project.
What is vc-scout's license?
vc-scout is released under the MIT license, allowing you to use, modify, and distribute it freely in both open-source and commercial projects.
