Examples

Concrete, end-to-end walkthroughs that use Shaktiman's MCP tools against a real repo. Each page shows the task, the tool sequence, what the output tells you, and the token savings versus a naive Grep/Read approach.

When to read which

You want to...	Example
Scope a refactor — what breaks if I change this?	Refactor impact analysis
Understand a repo you just joined	Onboarding to a new repo
Find out what changed that could've caused a regression	Bug triage with diff
Pull budget-fitted context across files for an LLM prompt	Cross-file feature tracing
Measure the blast radius of an API change	API change blast radius

note

Tool names below use the MCP names (e.g. mcp__shaktiman__search) that Claude Code sees; the CLI equivalents (shaktiman search) work the same way. Example outputs are illustrative, not literal — numbers depend on your repo. scope:"impl" is the default; flip to "test" or "all" when the task calls for it.
