search

A semantic search command for finding relevant parts of past coding-agent conversations, tool results, AI outputs, and sub-agent work stored in a database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find earlier decisions, code, tool output, files, or work by sub-agents. Filters can narrow results by project, date, tool, or content type.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which session contained an answer or piece of work. You can search broadly, then open only the most relevant results or complete exchanges.

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.

When invoked 288 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Search the RAG database for: "$ARGUMENTS"

Workflow (progressive disclosure — saves tokens)

  1. Search (compact): Use search to get ranked results with previews and IDs (~30 tokens/result)
  2. Detail (expand): Use detail with event IDs to get full content of interesting results (~500 tokens/event)
  3. Turn (full context): Use turn with turn IDs to see the complete Q+Tools+A exchange

Search filters

Parse natural language filters from the query:

  • "in project X" → project_id filter
  • "from sub-agents" → is_sub_agent: true
  • "only tools" → content_types: ["tool_call", "tool_result"]
  • "bash results" → tool_names: ["Bash"]
  • "code files" → tool_categories: ["file"]
  • "last week" → date_from with appropriate date

Start with search, then expand the most relevant results with detail or turn.

Changes

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.

search is a command published in the GitHub repository ThisisYoYoDev/claude-rag (9 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 288 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
