## Purpose

This skill intercepts bulk file operations before they execute, validating whether semantic search would be more efficient.

## When This Skill Triggers

### Trigger 1: Multiple File Reads Planned

```
YOU ARE ABOUT TO:
  Read file1.ts
  Read file2.ts
  Read file3.ts
  Read file4.ts
  ...

STOP. Ask: Can this be ONE claudemem query?
```

### Trigger 2: Broad Glob Pattern

```
YOU ARE ABOUT TO:
  Glob("src/services/**/*.ts")
  Then read all N matches

STOP. Ask: What am I looking for SEMANTICALLY?
```

### Trigger 3: Parallelization Rationalization

```
YOU ARE THINKING:
  "Let me read these files while the agent works..."

STOP. This is tool familiarity bias.
```

### Trigger 4: File Paths in Prompt

```
PROMPT MENTIONS:
  src/services/prime/internal_api/client.ts
  src/services/prime/api.ts
  ...

YOUR INSTINCT: Read them directly
STOP. Search semantically first for context.
```
