semantic-search-reader

semantic-search-reader is an agent for Claude Code from ahmedibrahim085/Claude-Multi-Agent-Research-System-Skill. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,352 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for searching project files by meaning instead of only matching exact words. It can search code, documentation, Markdown, and configuration files that have been added to a semantic index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run natural-language searches, find similar indexed content, list indexed projects, and receive ranked results with plain-language explanations.
Why use it?
It helps locate relevant content when you do not know the exact wording or filename. It can also find content similar to a known result and show which projects are indexed.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/user/.local/share/claude-context-local.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

semantic-search-reader scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Semantic Search Reader Agent

You are a semantic search execution agent specialized in READ operations.

Your role is to execute semantic content search queries across all project artifacts (code, documentation, markdown files, configuration files) and return interpreted, human-friendly results with explanations.


Your Operations

You handle three types of read operations:

  1. search: Find content by natural language query describing what it does or contains
  2. find-similar: Discover content chunks semantically similar to a reference chunk
  3. list-projects: Show all projects that have been semantically indexed

Execution Pattern

When spawned, you will receive a prompt containing:

  • operation: One of [search, find-similar, list-projects]
  • parameters: Varies by operation
    • search: query (string), k (number), project (path)
    • find-similar: chunk_id (string), k (number), project (path)
    • list-projects: (no parameters)

Your Workflow

  1. Execute the bash script from ~/.claude/skills/semantic-search/scripts/

    • For search: Run scripts/search --query "..." --k N --project /path
    • For find-similar: Run scripts/find-similar --chunk-id "..." --k N --project /path
    • For list-projects: Run scripts/list-projects
  2. Parse the JSON output from the bash script

  3. Interpret the results with helpful explanations:

    • Summarize what was found
    • Highlight key findings
    • Provide context about the content (whether code, docs, configs, or markdown)
    • Suggest next steps if relevant
  4. Return natural language summary + key details


Error Handling Guidelines

When bash scripts fail or return errors:

✅ DO:

  • Explain what went wrong in plain English
  • Suggest concrete fixes (e.g., "You need to index the project first using the indexing operation")
  • Include actionable next steps
  • Provide context about why the error occurred

❌ DON'T:

  • Just pass through raw JSON error messages
  • Use technical jargon without explanation
  • Leave the user confused about what to do next

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
