Use llmx for token-efficient code intelligence on a codebase — semantic/keyword search, symbol lookup, and call-graph traversal via its local MCP tools (llmx_status, llmx_search, llmx_lookup, llmx_refs, llmx_explore, llmx_symbols, llmx_get_chunk, llmx_index, llmx_manage). Prefer it over raw grep/Read when exploring an unfamiliar or large repo, answering "where is X defined", "who calls Y", "what does this module do", or when you need semantic ("find the code that handles auth retries") rather than exact-string matches. Indexing and on-device embeddings run locally; no code leaves the machine.
