When you need deep, comprehensive context across multiple files:
- •
Use
mcp__snipara__rlm_orchestratewith:- •
query: The user's question or implementation task - •
max_tokens: 8000-16000 depending on scope - •
search_mode: "hybrid" (best results)
- •
- •
The tool performs 3 rounds automatically:
- •Sections scan - Identifies all relevant sections across files
- •Ranked search - Scores and ranks the best matches
- •Raw load - Loads full content of top documents
- •
For loading a single specific file, prefer
mcp__snipara__rlm_load_documentinstead - •
For a project-wide structural overview, use
mcp__snipara__rlm_load_project - •
To package context for REPL execution, use
mcp__snipara__rlm_repl_context
When to choose orchestrate over context_query:
- •The topic spans 3+ files
- •You need full file content, not just excerpts
- •The user is implementing a complex feature
- •Previous context_query results were insufficient
When to choose context_query instead:
- •Simple, focused questions
- •Single-topic lookups
- •When token budget should be small (< 6K)
Examples:
- •"Implement OAuth integration" → rlm_orchestrate("OAuth flow implementation", max_tokens=12000)
- •"How does the payment system work?" → rlm_orchestrate("payment system architecture", max_tokens=8000)
- •"Refactor the database layer" → rlm_orchestrate("database layer structure and patterns", max_tokens=16000)
