Token-efficient code navigation via AST parsing. Use when exploring file structure, cross-file symbol discovery, or targeted function extraction with smart_outline, smart_search, and smart_unfold. 10-20x fewer tokens than reading full files.
npx skillsauth add alexei-led/claude-code-config smart-exploreInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Use these tools when available (requires claude-mem plugin). Fall back to Read/Grep/Glob if unavailable.
| Task | Tool | Tokens |
| ----------------------------- | --------------- | --------- |
| File structure at a glance | smart_outline | ~1,500 |
| Cross-file symbol discovery | smart_search | ~3,500 |
| Read a specific function/type | smart_unfold | ~400-2100 |
| Simple string search | Grep | varies |
| Full file needed | Read | ~8,000+ |

Idiomatic shell development for POSIX sh, Bash, Zsh, Fish, hooks, CI shell steps, and scriptable CLI glue. Use when writing or changing `.sh`, `.bash`, `.zsh`, `.fish`, `.bats`, shell functions, shell pipelines, or command-runner recipes. Emphasizes portability, quoting, safe filesystem/process handling, non-TUI CLI tools, ShellCheck, shfmt, Bats, and ShellSpec. NOT for Python, TypeScript, Go, web code, or infrastructure operations.
tools
Use when planning, executing, checkpointing, finishing, or inspecting lightweight spec-driven work. Runs one task at a time using `.spec/` markdown files and the bundled `specctl` helper. NOT for broad product discovery beyond a short requirement interview.
testing
Author, inspect, troubleshoot, and review infrastructure across IaC, Kubernetes, cloud resources, containers, CI/CD, and Linux hosts. Use when changing Terraform/OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, Dockerfiles, GitHub Actions, AWS, GCP, Cloud Run, BigQuery, IAM, logs, instances, or service health. NOT for deploy/apply/rollback workflows (see deploying-infra). NOT for shell scripts or generic command pipelines (see writing-shell).
development
Configure safe git workflow hygiene: pre-commit/pre-push hooks, Gitleaks secret scanning, .gitignore rules, local git config, and guardrails. Use when setting up git hooks, gitleaks/git leaks, staged pre-commit checks, pre-push validation, core.hooksPath, .gitignore, or git config best practices. NOT for creating commits (use committing-code), cleaning branches/worktrees (use cleanup-git), or creating worktrees (use using-git-worktrees).
