semantic-search

semantic-search is a skill for Claude Code from ahmedibrahim085/Claude-Multi-Agent-Research-System-Skill. It costs 68 tokens per session (7,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A meaning-based code search tool that finds related code even when it uses different words or names from your query.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search code, find similar code, list indexed projects, and create or refresh the search index.
Why use it?
It helps you understand an unfamiliar codebase and locate relevant implementations when exact text search cannot find them.

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 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 29 executable files (scripts/incremental_reindex.py, scripts/measure_cache_performance.py, scripts/measure_incremental_performance.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Skill

Orchestrator for Semantic Code Intelligence via Agent Delegation

This skill orchestrates two specialized agents for semantic search operations. It provides bash scripts that import Python modules from the claude-context-local library (NOT an MCP server - no server process runs, just Python imports via PYTHONPATH). Unlike traditional text-based search (Grep) or pattern matching (Glob), semantic search understands the meaning of content, finding functionally similar text even when using different wording, variable names, or patterns.

The skill uses the library's venv Python interpreter to import merkle, chunking, and embedding modules, enabling semantic search, indexing, and similarity finding across any text content (code, docs, markdown, configs).

🎬 Orchestration Instructions

When this skill is active, you MUST spawn the appropriate agent via Task tool.

This skill uses a 2-agent architecture for token optimization:

  • semantic-search-reader: Handles READ operations (search, find-similar, list-projects)
  • semantic-search-indexer: Handles WRITE operations (index, incremental-reindex, status)

Decision Logic: Which Agent to Spawn?

User Request Contains Operation Type Agent to Spawn
"find X", "search for Y", "where is Z" search semantic-search-reader
"find similar to...", "similar chunks" find-similar semantic-search-reader
"what projects", "list indexed", "show projects" list-projects semantic-search-reader
"index this", "create index", "full reindex" index semantic-search-indexer
"incremental reindex", "auto reindex", "update index" incremental-reindex semantic-search-indexer
"check index", "index status", "is it indexed" status semantic-search-indexer

Agent Spawn Examples

Example 1: Search Operation (semantic-search-reader)

Task(
    subagent_type="semantic-search-reader",
    description="Search project semantically",
    prompt="""You are the semantic-search-reader agent.

Operation: search
Query: "user authentication logic"
K: 10
Project: /path/to/project

Execute the search operation using scripts/search and return interpreted results with explanations."""

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.

semantic-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository ahmedibrahim085/Claude-Multi-Agent-Research-System-Skill (11 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 7,381 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
