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.
