semantic-grep
From the author
In-process semantic search over text files or in-memory strings, using Gemini embeddings via the CF AI Gateway. Use when user wants fuzzy/conceptual search where exact-keyword grep would miss — "sessions discussing regulatory constraints", "code about retry logic", "notes mentioning burnout even if the word isn't there". Complements searching-codebases (regex/AST) and extracting-keywords (YAKE). Do NOT use when an exact string/regex match is what's wanted — grep/rg wins on speed and precision there.

- mgrep-code-searchtmcfarlane/team-avatarSemantic code search using mgrep for efficient codebase exploration. This skill should be used when searching or exploring codebases with more than 30 non-gitignored files and/or nested directory structures. It provides natural language semantic search that complements traditional grep/ripgrep for finding features, understanding intent, and exploring unfamiliar code.Engineering★ 110
- exploring-codebasestmcfarlane/team-avatarSemantic search for codebases. Locates matches with ripgrep and expands them into full AST nodes (functions/classes) using tree-sitter or pre-generated _MAP.md files. Returns complete, syntactically valid code blocks rather than fragmented lines. Use when looking for specific implementations, examples, or references where full context is needed.Planning★ 110
- gemini-searchwanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleepSearch research papers via Gemini for broad literature discovery. Use when user says "gemini search", "gemini papers", "search with gemini", or wants AI-powered literature discovery beyond arXiv/Semantic Scholar indexes.Science★ 18K
- retrieval-ragnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherBuild and fix retrieval that actually returns the right passage — structure-aware chunking, one pinned embedding model, lexical plus vector search fused, reranking, and a recall measurement that is run separately from the generator. Use when a RAG system answers wrong or vaguely, when an index is being designed or reindexed, or when someone proposes a prompt change to fix what is really a retrieval miss. Not for prompt or output-quality work once the right passage is already in context, not for agent memory design, and not for choosing a vector database.Data★ 59
- codebase-searchtmcfarlane/team-avatarSearch and navigate large codebases efficiently. Use when finding specific code patterns, tracing function calls, understanding code structure, or locating bugs. Handles semantic search, grep patterns, AST analysis.Planning★ 110
- cognee:recallcoco-research/cocoUse when the user says 'cognee recall', 'search memory', 'what do we know about', 'find related', or 'graph search'. Runs semantic, graph, and lexical search across the Cognee knowledge graph and injects results as agent context.Productivity★ 787
