$deepsearch
Skill for deep exploration of the codebase or external context
TL;DR
Use $deepsearch when you need deeper exploration than a simple grep. Multiple agents analyze structure, patterns, and dependencies in parallel and aggregate the results.
How to invoke
$deepsearch "find everywhere the auth middleware is used and how"When to use it
| Good fit | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Need to understand impact scope before making changes | Exploring a single file or function |
| Finding patterns in legacy code | Work with already-clear scope |
| Dependency analysis spanning multiple modules |
How it works
- An explore agent builds a file and symbol map.
- Relevant areas are explored in parallel.
- Results are synthesized into a summary and file list.
Output can be fed directly as context into $ralplan or $ralph.
