name: ck-get-method-source description: Extract a single C#, TypeScript, Kotlin, or Python method/property body with exact source spans. Use after ck signatures identifies the target member.

ck get-method-source — Reference

Syntax

.claude/skills/ck/ck get-method-source <file> <ExactMemberName> [--type <TypeName>] [--mode <mode>]

<ExactMemberName> must match exactly — copy it from ck signatures output. Refund will NOT match RefundPaymentAsync.

Modes

Mode Returns
signature_plus_body Full member (default)
signature_only Signature line only
body_only Body block only
body_without_comments Body with comments stripped

Output (JSON)

[{
  "file": "src/Payment/Processor.cs",
  "member_name": "ProcessPayment",
  "containing_type": "PaymentProcessor",
  "signature": "public async Task<Result> ProcessPayment(PaymentRequest req)",
  "start_line": 42, "end_line": 87,
  "content": "..."
}]

Tips

  • Add --type ClassName to disambiguate overloads across types.
  • After you reach this step, continue with targeted file/member reads in the same area; do not bounce back to expand-folder for that folder unless you intentionally reset direction with a new find-files query.
  • For files <50 lines, use ck read-full-file <file> directly.
  • No index required — always reads live from disk.
