vera search "OAuth token refresh" returns ranked code blocks with path:line citations, with filters for language, path, symbol type, and git-scoped diffs. - Structural and reference queries: vera structural definitions, vera structural routes, and vera references <symbol> answer definition, caller, and callee questions directly from the call graph. - Scoped exact matching: vera grep runs regex over only indexed files, respecting .veraignore rules. - Use Case: Onboarding into a new repository, run vera overview for languages and entry points, then vera search "env file loading decision" to find configuration logic without reading the README or directory tree. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run vera overview in the current repository and then search for how a specific feature is implemented.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Run vera index . at the repository root, then use vera search with a behavioral phrase like "JWT expiry handling" rather than a single noun. Add --lang, --path, or --type filters to narrow results, and use --compact for signature-only output.
Use vera references <symbol> to list callers from the call graph built during indexing, or vera references <symbol> --callees to see what the function calls. For the definition itself, run vera structural definitions <symbol>.
Use rg for file-name searches, counting occurrences, bulk find-and-replace preparation, and files outside the Vera index such as vendored dependencies. Use vera grep when you want regex results scoped to indexed files with .veraignore rules applied.
The repository has not been indexed yet or the command ran outside any indexed directory. Run vera index . from the repository root; search commands then resolve the nearest .vera directory from any subdirectory.
Run vera update . from any directory to refresh the repository root's index, or vera watch . to keep it updated continuously. A stale-index warning does not invalidate existing hits, but re-indexing reflects recent edits.
Yes, add --changed for modified, staged, and untracked files, --since <rev> for changes since a revision, or --base <rev> for changes since the merge base. These git scopes work with search, grep, structural, and overview commands.
