Documentation

README

Excerpt

Searching Code

When to use

Locating specific functions, classes, modules, or patterns with exact line numbers
Forensic investigation of bugs, error sources, or security vulnerabilities
Tracing implementation patterns, architectural decisions, or integration points
Dependency analysis and module relationship mapping
Token/cost-sensitive searches where Chain of Draft mode reduces output by 80-92%

Skip when

Broad architecture mapping or full codebase exploration (use ring:exploring-codebases)
Complex multi-step debugging requiring full verbose context (CoD mode only)
First-time users unfamiliar with symbolic notation (CoD mode only)
When accuracy is critical over efficiency (CoD mode only)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
