sifs-search

Use sifs search to find code by describing what it does or by naming a symbol or identifier:

sifs agent-context --json
sifs search "authentication flow" --source ./my-project
sifs search "save_pretrained" --source ./my-project
sifs search "save model to disk" --source ./my-project --limit 10
sifs search "auth flow" --source ./my-project --mode semantic --encoder hashing
sifs symbol SessionToken --source ./my-project --kind class --json
sifs outline src/auth.py --source ./my-project --kind function --symbols-limit 200 --chunks-limit 100 --json
sifs pack "how auth flow works" --source ./my-project --budget-tokens 6000 --json

Use sifs find-related to discover code similar to a known location. Pass file_path and line from a prior search result.

sifs find-related src/auth.py 42 --source ./my-project

--source defaults to the current directory when omitted; Git URLs are accepted. Use --filter-path for repository-relative file filters and --limit for result bounds.

For repeated work, save a profile:

sifs profile save current --source ./my-project --mode bm25 --offline --json
sifs search "startup handshake" --profile current --json

If sifs is not on $PATH, build this Rust binary and use its absolute path.

Capabilities

• Search local directories and Git URLs with hybrid, semantic, or BM25 ranking.
• Discover related code from a known file and line.
• Inspect indexed symbols, file outlines, file paths, chunks, and context packs.
• Discover the CLI/MCP contract with sifs agent-context --json.
• Save reusable source/search defaults with sifs profile.
• Record local feedback with sifs feedback create.
• Inspect index status, indexed files, and chunk coverage when using the MCP server.
• Refresh the MCP index after files change in a long-running agent session.
• Install this agent file with sifs agent install --target claude-code --artifact skill or the MCP init_agent compatibility tool.
• Run benchmarks and embedding diagnostics through the CLI when shell access is available.
