# Code Search Assistant ## Overview Search codebases to find code related to a given snippet using multi-dimensional similarity analysis: call chain patterns, textual structure, and functional behavior. Results are ranked and presented with matching code snippets. ## Workflow ### 1. Analyze Input Snippet Extract key characteristics from the provided code snippet: **Structural elements**: - Function/method calls made - Classes/types used - Control flow patterns (loops, conditionals, try-catch) - Data structures (arrays, objects, maps) **Functional elements**: - Purpose/intent of the code - Input/output behavior - Side effects (I/O, state changes, API calls) - Domain concepts (authentication, validation, transformation) **Textual elements**: - Variable and function names - String literals and constants - Comments and documentation - Code tokens and keywords ### 2. Define Search Scope Determine where to search: - **Full repository**: Search all code files - **Specific directories**: Focus on relevant modules - **File type filter**: Limit to specific languages Use Glob to identify candidate files: ``` **/*.js, **/*.py, **/*.java, etc. ``` ### 3. Search by Call Chain Similarity Find code with similar function call patterns and dependencies. **Search strategy**: 1. Extract function/method calls from input snippet 2. Use Grep to find files containing those function calls 3. Read matching files to analyze call sequences 4. Score based on: - Number of shared function ...
