 "title": "Shortlist the files that handle a concern before Claude reads them",
 "page_title": "How to shortlist the files that handle a concern before Claude reads them with Quicksilver",
 "summary": "Ask Jev which files in a big repo match a condition, then give Claude only those paths.",
 "who": "A developer or security reviewer working in a large repo who needs every file that touches auth, sessions, or another concern.",
 "problem": "Claude reads every candidate file to decide which ones matter, which fills its context with noise and costs many tokens.",
 "outcome": "Claude gets a short list of matching file paths with borderline items marked, and the benchmark's codebase discovery task reached 100% F1 with 91% fewer Claude tokens.",
 "steps": [
  "Get a Jev key at console.typesafe.ai.",
  "Run `npx github:UditAkhourii/quicksilver` and enter your key when asked.",
  "Restart Claude Code. Claude uses the skill on its own for this kind of task.",
  "Run `qs filter \"Does this file handle user sessions?\" src` and replace the question and the folder with your own. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Read the returned paths and check every line marked with ? yourself."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo UditAkhourii/quicksilver, run qs filter with a yes/no question about <concern> against <target-directory>. Return the matching file paths and list any borderline items marked with ?. Verify that the output ends with a receipt line showing files scanned and the Jev cost.",
 "agents": [

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Look-alike code can produce borderline matches, so Claude or you should review the items marked with ? before acting on them.",
