A command-line tool for finding files by what they do or contain, rather than only by their exact names or text.

Finding where a feature is implemented, loaded, or defined in a repository.

It helps locate the right implementation in a medium or large codebase when the file path is unknown.

Install

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/scarletkc/vexor/vexor-cli

Any agent

npx skills add scarletkc/vexor --skill vexor-cli

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/scarletkc/vexor

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install vexor, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00046	$0.01233
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00616
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00247
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00123

Security

Grade A, and why

vexor-cli 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vexor CLI Skill

Goal

Find files by intent (what they do), not exact text.

Use It Like This

Use vexor first for intent-based file discovery.
If vexor is missing, follow references/install-vexor.md.

Command

vexor "<QUERY>" [--path <ROOT>] [--mode <MODE>] [--ext .py,.md] [--exclude-pattern <PATTERN>] [--top 5] [--content] [--format rich|porcelain|porcelain-z|json]

Common Flags

--path/-p: root directory (default: current dir)
--mode/-m: indexing/search strategy
--ext/-e: limit file extensions (e.g., .py,.md)
--exclude-pattern: exclude paths by gitignore-style pattern (repeatable; .js → **/*.js)
--top/-k: number of results
--include-hidden: include dotfiles
--no-respect-gitignore: include ignored files
.vexorignore project rules always apply, even with --no-respect-gitignore.
--no-recursive: only the top directory
--format: rich (default), porcelain/porcelain-z for scripts, json for full output with chunk content
--content: print each match's source text below the table — usually removes the need to read the files afterwards
--no-cache: in-memory only, do not read/write index cache
vexor index --local: create and use project-local .vexor/ cache storage

Project Config

The nearest .vexor/config.json applies automatically for the resolved search or index path.
It accepts only rerank, auto_index, model, embedding_dimensions, batch_size, embed_concurrency, and extract_concurrency.
batch_size must be at least 0; both concurrency values must be at least 1.
Credentials and endpoints (api_key, base_url, remote_rerank) and all other fields are rejected.
Precedence is global config, project config, environment overrides, then explicit arguments.
vexor config --show labels each field's origin and vexor doctor lists active overrides; mutating vexor config commands remain global-only.

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.

vexor-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository scarletkc/vexor (239 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,233 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
