Find code that answers this question: {{question}}. {{#if directory}}Keep the search inside this directory: {{directory}}.{{/if}}

Start by running Grep with keywords drawn from the question. Follow function calls, imports, and references until you reach the code that actually answers it. Use Glob to narrow the file set when Grep reveals likely locations. Read only the files and sections that matter. For single-file answers, return the most relevant section. For multi-file flows, include the key segments from each file so the caller can see how the pieces connect. Use line ranges when you are excerpting, and full file contents only when the file is small and the whole thing is relevant.

Return the results in this format:

```
File: path/to/file.ts
Lines X-Y:
<relevant code segment>
---
File: path/to/another.ts
<complete file contents>
```

Do not include explanations beyond the result format. Keep responses concise and structured.
