-2. **Source Code Definitions**: Claude may then use the `list_code_definition_names` tool on specific directories of interest. This tool uses [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) to parse source code with custom tag queries that extract names of classes, functions, methods, and other definitions. It works by first identifying source code files that tree-sitter can parse (currently supports `python`, `javascript`, `typescript`, `ruby`, `go`, `java`, `php`, `rust`, `c`, `c++`, `c#`, `swift`), then parsing each file into an abstract syntax tree, and finally applying a language-specific query to extract definition names (you can see the exact query used for each language in `src/parse-source-code/queries`). The results are formatted into a concise & readable output that Claude can easily interpret to quickly understand the code's structure and purpose.

3. **Search Files**: Claude can also use the `search_files` tool to search for specific patterns or content across multiple files. This tool uses [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) to perform regex searches on files in a specified directory. The results are formatted into a concise & readable output that Claude can easily interpret to quickly understand the code's structure and purpose. This can be useful for tasks like refactoring function names, updating imports, addressing TODOs and FIXMEs, etc.
