deep-search

deep-search is a command for coding agents from a-ariff/ariff-claude-plugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search command that looks across several relevant sources and combines the findings into a summary. It can route technical questions to sources such as GitHub, official documentation, and Reddit discussions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research coding examples, software documentation, implementation issues, and technology-specific guidance with /deep-search followed by a query.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search each website separately and helps match a question with sources related to its technology or vendor.

Command

Part of the deep-search plugin — 1 command shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/a-ariff/ariff-claude-plugins/deep-search
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/a-ariff/ariff-claude-plugins

Or install deep-search, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 command.

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

deep-search 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deep Search Command

Intelligent search across multiple sources using semantic vendor detection.

Usage

/deep-search <query>

How It Works

  1. Analyze Query - Detect topics, technologies, vendors
  2. Route to Sources - Select relevant sources based on topic
  3. Execute Search - Query each source
  4. Synthesize - Combine and summarize results

Source Routing

Always Searched

  • GitHub - Code examples, implementations, issues

Semantic Routing

Example Searches

/deep-search claude code hooks best practices
→ GitHub (claude-code), docs.anthropic.com

/deep-search intune windows 11 compliance policy
→ GitHub, Microsoft Learn, Intune docs

/deep-search python async best practices reddit
→ GitHub, Python docs, Reddit

/deep-search terraform azure container apps
→ GitHub, Terraform Registry, Azure docs

Implementation

Uses firecrawl-mcp for web search and scraping:

# Search with firecrawl
mcp__firecrawl-mcp__firecrawl_search(
    query="claude hooks best practices site:github.com OR site:docs.anthropic.com",
    limit=10
)

# For Reddit
mcp__firecrawl-mcp__firecrawl_search(
    query="site:reddit.com {query}",
    limit=5
)

Manual Deep Search Steps

When using without command:

  1. GitHub Search:

    Use github_repo or grep_search for code
    
  2. Web Search:

    Use mcp__firecrawl-mcp__firecrawl_search with site: operators
    
  3. Fetch Full Content:

    Use mcp__firecrawl-mcp__firecrawl_scrape for specific URLs

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.

deep-search is a command published in the GitHub repository a-ariff/ariff-claude-plugins (14 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 776 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
