BTR Query

⚠️ CRITICAL: BTR ≠ ByteRover

This skill uses btr (local context tree), NOT brv (ByteRover CLI).

Command	Tool	Syntax
✓ CORRECT	btr	btr query "search term" / btr list / btr stats
✗ WRONG	brv	Different tool, different syntax, requires auth

PREFER MCP tools when available:

• mcp__btr__query_context - For searching
• mcp__btr__list_contexts - For browsing
• mcp__btr__get_stats - For statistics

Only use Bash btr commands if MCP tools are unavailable.

Find and retrieve relevant context using intelligent search.

Quick Start

btr query "<natural language query>" [--domain <domain>] [--limit <n>]

Instructions

1. Understand the user's information need
2. Formulate a natural language query
3. Optionally filter by domain for more focused results
4. Run the CLI command
5. Present results with relevance context
6. Offer to retrieve full content if summary shown

Examples

Find authentication patterns

btr query "how do we handle JWT authentication"

Search within a specific domain

btr query "rate limiting implementation" --domain api

Get more results

btr query "error handling" --limit 10
