How does the Codebase Navigation skill find symbols?

It utilizes the DevAC Analytics Layer to query a pre-indexed database of your code, allowing for near-instant retrieval of file paths and line numbers for any symbol.

Is the navigation data always up to date?

The skill relies on indexed data. If you've made significant changes, simply run the 'devac analyze' command to refresh the index.

Why use the CLI commands instead of reading files directly?

Using DevAC CLI commands significantly reduces context overhead and token costs because Claude only receives the specific locations and metadata it needs rather than reading entire files.

Can I use this skill across multiple repositories?

Yes, when used with DevAC Hub, the skill can navigate and locate code across all connected repositories in your workspace.
