Common File Glob Patterns for Consultant Queries

This reference provides common file selection patterns optimized for different types of consultant queries. The goal is to maximize recall - include all relevant context for comprehensive analysis.

Domain-Specific Analysis

Feature Analysis:

--file "!**/*.test.ts"

Module Analysis:

--file "src/modules/<module-name>/**/*.ts" \
--file "!**/*.test.ts" \
--file "!**/node_modules/**"

Error Handling & Resilience

Error Handling:

--file "src/**/*.ts" \
--file "!**/*.test.ts" \
| grep -E "(throw|catch|Error|Exception)"

Configuration & Infrastructure

Configuration:

--file "src/config/**/*.ts" \
--file "*.config.ts" \
--file "*.config.js" \
--file ".env.example" \
--file "tsconfig.json"

Infrastructure as Code:

--file "infrastructure/**/*" \
--file "*.tf" \
--file "docker-compose.yml" \
--file "Dockerfile" \
--file "k8s/**/*.yml"

Frontend Analysis

React Components:

--file "src/components/**/*.{tsx,ts}" \

--file "src/reducers/**/*.ts" \
--file "src/actions/**/*.ts" \
--file "src/selectors/**/*.ts"

Exclusion Patterns

Common exclusions:

--file "!**/*.test.ts"        # Exclude tests
--file "!**/*.spec.ts"        # Exclude specs
--file "!**/node_modules/**"  # Exclude dependencies
--file "!**/dist/**"          # Exclude build output
--file "!**/*.d.ts"           # Exclude type declarations
--file "!**/coverage/**"      # Exclude coverage reports

Multi-Project/Monorepo Patterns

Specific Package:

--file "packages/<package-name>/src/**/*.ts" \
--file "packages/<package-name>/package.json" \
--file "!**/*.test.ts"

Cross-Package Analysis:

--file "packages/*/src/**/*.ts" \
--file "packages/*/package.json" \
--file "!**/*.test.ts" \
--file "!**/node_modules/**"

Tips for Effective File Selection

1. Start broad, then narrow: Begin with comprehensive globs, then add exclusions
2. Include documentation: Add README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md for context
3. Include configuration: Config files often reveal important patterns
4. Exclude generated code: Build outputs, type declarations add noise
5. Include related tests selectively: Useful for understanding behavior, but can add significant volume
6. Use negation patterns: ! prefix to exclude specific patterns
7. Check file count: Use --preview summary to verify selection before sending
