Workflow
For implementation, debugging, review, planning, or documentation tasks, search before deep work unless the task is trivial:
Semantic search, grep, and Q&A across codebases and documentation indexed in CodeAlive. Use when the user mentions "CodeAlive", asks to list or get data sources, list indexed repositories, search code or docs across remote repos, fetch artifact content, or trace call graphs across repositories.
