smgrep

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables semantic code search across a codebase by asking questions like "where is X implemented" or "how does Y work". It returns file paths with line numbers and code snippets to quickly locate relevant logic. Snippets are previews (first 16 lines) to help you decide which file to read in full.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Semantic search: Find concepts and patterns, not just exact strings.
• Code discovery: Locate implementation across repositories with path constraints and contextual understanding.
• Output semantics: Get results as a path:line with an inlined code snippet for quick context.
• Use Case: Example: ask where authentication is handled or how a plugin is loaded, and get a concise list of files with context to inspect.

Quick Start

Install smgrep and run a sample query like: smgrep "how are plugins loaded" to discover relevant code paths. The first search will index the repository and return results with file paths and line numbers.
