Search CLI Alias Mapping

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user refers to the CLI tool as "Search CLI" or "search_cli", to ensure the correct underlying binary (vs) is executed.

Preconditions

• The agent is about to execute a CLI command based on the user's "Search CLI" intent.

Commands

• No specific commands are required; this is a conceptual mapping.

Workflow

• Intercept the intent to run search_cli.
• Translate the intent to use the vs binary (or its absolute path).
• Execute the mapped command.

Customer Environment Principle

• In customer environments, assume repository source code is unavailable.
• Execute tasks using only the installed skills, the packaged vs CLI surface (--help, command output, and observed runtime behavior), and explicit user-provided information.
• Do not rely on reading local repository source files, generated repo snapshots, or implementation details to decide runtime actions.
• If the installed CLI behavior conflicts with a skill, trust the installed CLI behavior first.
• If the skills and the packaged CLI still do not provide enough information to proceed safely, stop and ask the user instead of searching source code.

Constraints

• Never execute a command literally named search_cli.
• Always use the vs prefix and VIKING_ environment variables.

IMPORTANT ALIAS MAPPING: 1. The user refers to this tool system as "Search CLI" or "search_cli". 2. However, the actual underlying executable binary is named "vs" (or variations like vs-macos-arm64, vs-linux-x64, vs-win-x64.exe). 3. Whenever you plan to use "Search CLI" capabilities, you MUST translate that intent into executing the `vs` binary (or the absolute path provided by the user).

Examples

• When user says: "Use search_cli to auth login"

• You should execute: vs auth login (or the absolute path like /path/to/vs-macos-arm64 auth login)

• When user says: "Check search_cli doctor"

• You should execute: vs doctor

Always keep this mapping in mind when interacting with the CLI tool in this workspace.
