Reposit Search

Search the Reposit knowledge base for solutions to problems you're facing.

Automatic Behavior: The MCP search tool triggers automatically when encountering errors, starting complex work, or researching approaches. Manual invocation is for explicit searches.

When Search Triggers Automatically

The search tool is called automatically when:

• Encountering an unfamiliar error or exception
• Starting work on a non-trivial problem
• User asks "is there a better way?" or wants to research
• Before implementing a complex feature

You don't need to invoke /reposit:search for these cases - it happens automatically.

Manual Invocation

Use /reposit:search when you want to:

• Search with specific parameters or tags
• Demonstrate search capabilities
• Override automatic behavior

Tool Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
query	string	Yes	Search query describing the problem
tags	array	No	Filter by tags (language, framework)
limit	integer	No	Max results per backend (default: 10)
backend	string	No	Specific backend(s) to search

Evaluating Results

Check the score in results:

• High score (5+): Excellent match - community validated
• Medium score (1-4): Good match - worth reviewing
• Low/negative score: May have issues - read carefully

Presenting Findings

If good matches found:

## Found Relevant Solutions in Reposit

### [Problem Description] (Score: +X)

**Solution:**
[Solution pattern]

**Tags:** [tags]

Would you like me to apply this approach?

If no matches: Proceed to solve from scratch.

Best Practices

• Include error messages in queries for better matches
• Check multiple results, not just the first
• Vote after using a solution (happens automatically)
