search

search is a skill for Claude Code from obsfx/trekker. It costs 14 tokens per session (532 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A required search workflow for Trekker, a task tracker with full-text search. It uses single keywords to find related tasks before the agent starts work or investigates an issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for related tasks, past work, and issue context before creating or selecting work.
Why use it?
It helps avoid duplicating existing tasks and reduces missed context. Because the search matches words rather than meaning, short distinctive searches work better than long questions.

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 yesterday.

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.

CRITICAL: Use This First

Search is your PRIMARY tool for gathering context.

Before starting ANY work:

trekker search "<single keyword>"

This finds related past work using FTS5 full-text search.

Trekker uses FTS5 full-text search, NOT semantic/AI search. This means:

  • Use single, specific keywords - not phrases or sentences
  • Multi-word queries use AND logic - "fix authentication bug" requires ALL three words present, returning FEWER results
  • Search multiple times with different keywords for broader coverage
  • Pick the most distinctive word from what you're looking for
BAD (too many words) GOOD (single keyword)
trekker search "fix login authentication bug" trekker search "authentication"
trekker search "user cannot access account" trekker search "account"
trekker search "performance optimization slow" trekker search "performance"
trekker search "deployment pipeline issues" trekker search "deployment"

When to Use (ALWAYS)

  • Before creating tasks - find existing work
  • Before starting work - gather context
  • When investigating issues - find related bugs
  • When user describes problem - understand history
  • When resuming work - recover context

Commands

# Search with a single keyword
trekker search "authentication"

# Try multiple keywords separately for broader coverage
trekker search "login"
trekker search "password"

# Filter by type
trekker search "deployment" --type task

# Filter by status
trekker search "memory" --status todo

# Rebuild index if needed
trekker search "caching" --rebuild-index

Workflow: Before ANY Task Operation

1. SEARCH: trekker search "<single keyword>"
2. BROADEN: Try 2-3 related keywords if first search has no results
3. REVIEW: Check if similar work exists
4. DECIDE: Update existing OR create new
5. SYNC: Mirror to TodoWrite after Trekker

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.
