From Code Search
Use when searching source code: text/regex (ripgrep), structural/AST patterns (ast-grep, semgrep), when/why code changed (git history), structural rewrites (comby), or codebase size/complexity (tokei, scc).

CLI search for source code. Pick the modality by what you know.
| Task | Use | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Text / regex in code | rg | ripgrep |
| Find files by name/path | fd | fd |
| Structural / syntax-aware search | sg (ast-grep) | ast-grep |
| Security/lint rule packs, taint | semgrep | semgrep |
| When/why code changed | git log -S/-G/-L | git-history |
| Structural search-and-replace | comby, sg --rewrite | comby |
| Size / complexity by language | tokei, scc | metrics |
Decision flow: text → rg | structural → sg | rule packs → semgrep |
filenames → fd | change history → git pickaxe | rewrite → comby | LOC → tokei.
rg -t py, sg --lang ts, fd -e go),
restrict dirs, and count first (rg -c pattern | wc -l) before reading.rg -g '!vendor/' -g '!*.lock', fd -E node_modules.rg -e P1 -e P2) in one walk,
or issue distinct searches as parallel tool calls. Never sequential &&.rg -t ts includes .tsx; fd -e ts does NOT — use fd -e ts -e tsx.retrieval-strategy skill or invoke the retrieval-strategist agent.For non-code corpora (JSON/YAML, CSV/Parquet, PDFs/Office), use the
data-and-docs-search skill.
Searches MemPalace before answering questions about past work, people, projects, or prior decisions. Returns verbatim stored content instead of guessing from model memory.
Fetches up-to-date documentation from Context7 for libraries and frameworks like React, Next.js, Prisma. Use for setup questions, API references, and code examples.
