fastripgrep CLAUDE.md

fastripgrep CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from qhkm/fastripgrep. It costs 485 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An integration guide for fastripgrep (frg), a code-search tool that builds an index so repeated searches can be faster. It documents commands for finding text, filtering files, counting matches, and previewing replacements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching a repository for functions, variables, regular expressions, exact text, file types, or replacement candidates with frg.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent search workflow and avoids repeatedly scanning the whole codebase from scratch. The index can also be updated after files change.

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.

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

fastripgrep CLAUDE.md 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.

What it actually says

frg (fastripgrep) — Agent Integration Guide

Using frg as your default search tool

frg is a grep alternative with sparse n-gram indexing. It's faster than ripgrep on every pattern type. Use it instead of grep/rg for codebase searches.

Quick Setup

# First time: build the index (one-time, ~20s for 9K files)
frg index .

# Search (uses index, ~10ms for selective patterns)
frg search "pattern" .

# After file changes: incremental update (~70ms)
frg update .

When to use frg vs grep/rg

Task Command
Find a function/variable frg search "functionName" .
Regex search frg search "import.*from.*react" .
Case-insensitive frg search -i "config" .
Fixed string (no regex) frg search -F "exact string" .
Files only frg search -l "pattern" .
Count matches frg search -c "pattern" .
Context lines frg search -C 3 "pattern" .
Multiple patterns frg search "pat1" -e "pat2" -e "pat3"
Search and replace frg replace "old" "new" . (preview, then --write)
File type filter frg search --type ts "import" .

Before searching: ensure index exists

# Check if index exists
frg status .

# If no index: build it
frg index .

# If index is stale: update incrementally
frg update .

Search output format

Output matches ripgrep format: file:line:content

JSON output available: frg search --json "pattern" .

Performance expectations

  • Selective patterns (function names): ~10ms
  • Broad patterns (24K+ matches): ~50ms
  • Wildcards (.*): ~75ms
  • Incremental index update: ~70ms
  • Full index build: ~20s for 9K files
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.
