description	Semantic code search with grepai. Use when searching by intent or concept rather than exact text (e.g. "where is rate limiting implemented" when you don't know the naming conventions).

grepai — semantic code search

When to use

• Searching by concept or intent ("authentication flow", "error recovery logic") when you don't know the exact names
• Exploring unfamiliar codebases where naming conventions are unknown
• Tracing callers of a function across a large codebase

For exact text or regex pattern matching, use rg (ripgrep) instead.
