def
Use this skill when
- You need definition locations for a symbol without opening files manually.
- You want minimal, high-signal context for review or refactor work.
Commands
# Auto (tries Python-precise, then other languages as candidates)
def MyClass .
# Prefer Python precision and include a small snippet
def MyClass . --lang py -C 2
# Methods / dotted qualnames (Python): find `Class.method`
def MyClass.__init__ mypkg --lang py -C 1
# Bias path ranking if you know where code likely lives
def MyClass . --prefer torch --prefer aten
Notes
- Python results are AST-validated (low false positives).
- Non-Python results are heuristic candidates; use
ctx to confirm if ambiguous.
