grepai-storage-gob

grepai-storage-gob is a skill for Claude Code from yoanbernabeu/grepai-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,428 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local file-storage setup for GrepAI, a tool that searches code by meaning. It uses Go’s binary data format to keep search data, file details, and code sections in one file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for single-machine development, small or medium codebases, and simple GrepAI setups with no external dependencies.
Why use it?
It lets one developer use GrepAI without running another service. The local file is easy to back up, but it is not suited to shared or very large projects.

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

grepai-storage-gob 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 12d 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.

GrepAI Storage with GOB

This skill covers using GOB (Go Binary) as the storage backend for GrepAI, the default and simplest option.

When to Use This Skill

  • Single developer projects
  • Small to medium codebases
  • Simple setup without external dependencies
  • Local development environments

What is GOB Storage?

GOB is Go's native binary serialization format. GrepAI uses it to store:

  • Vector embeddings
  • File metadata
  • Chunk information

Everything is stored in a single local file.

Advantages

Benefit Description
🚀 Simple No external services needed
Fast setup Works immediately
📁 Portable Single file, easy to backup
💰 Free No infrastructure costs
🔒 Private Data stays local

Limitations

Limitation Description
📏 Scalability Not ideal for very large codebases
👤 Single user No concurrent access
🔄 No sharing Can't share index across machines
💾 Memory Loads into RAM for searches

Configuration

Default Configuration

GOB is the default backend. Minimal config:

# .grepai/config.yaml
store:
  backend: gob

Explicit Configuration

store:
  backend: gob
  # Index stored in .grepai/index.gob (automatic)

Storage Location

GOB storage creates files in your project's .grepai/ directory:

.grepai/
├── config.yaml    # Configuration
├── index.gob      # Vector embeddings
└── symbols.gob    # Symbol index for trace

File Sizes

Approximate .grepai/index.gob sizes:

Codebase Files Chunks Index Size
Small 100 500 ~5 MB
Medium 1,000 5,000 ~50 MB
Large 10,000 50,000 ~500 MB

Operations

Creating the Index

# Initialize project
grepai init

# Start indexing (creates index.gob)
grepai watch

Checking Index Status

grepai status

# Output:
# Index: .grepai/index.gob
# Files: 245
# Chunks: 1,234
# Size: 12.5 MB
# Last updated: 2025-01-28 10:30:00

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.
