| 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.
