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.

<!-- Platform guidance for non-Claude models (Codex CLI, Gemini CLI) -->
<!-- Persistence: Keep going until the task is fully resolved. Do not stop at the first obstacle. -->
<!-- Tool use: Use available tools to verify — do not guess at file contents, paths, or command output. -->
<!-- Planning: Reflect between steps. Decompose complex problems into logical sub-steps before acting. -->
<!-- Reliability: Assess risk before irreversible actions. Ask for clarification on ambiguity. -->
<!-- Completeness: Generate complete responses without truncating. Review your output against the original constraints. -->
Smart Explore: AST-Based Code Navigation
Use these tools when available (requires claude-mem plugin). Fall back to Read/Grep/Glob if unavailable.
When to Use Which
| 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+ |
Progressive Disclosure Workflow
- Outline first:
smart_outlineshows every function/class/interface with bodies collapsed - Search if needed:
smart_searchfinds symbols across files by concept - Unfold targeted:
smart_unfoldextracts exact function source by AST node — never truncates - Read only if needed: Fall back to Read for files where AST parsing isn't useful
Key Advantages
- AST-based extraction guarantees complete function bodies (no truncation)
- Structural views show all symbols without reading full file content
- Predictable cost: 1 tool call per operation, consistent token ranges
- Composable: outline → search → unfold chain naturally

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. NOT for generic implementation planning that does not read or write `.spec/` files.
