Semantic Code Search

Use embark search to find code snippets by meaning, not just keywords. If it's not installed use embark-install skill.

Usage

embark search "<detailed and descriptive query>"
embark search "<code snippet>" # find similar snippets
embark search -p <path> "<query>"  # <path> must be relative to the project root

Query Tips

• Be descriptive: "function that validates user email addresses" > "email"
• Include context: "error handling middleware for HTTP requests with logging"
• Specify what you're looking for: "React component that renders a modal dialog"

Examples

# Find authentication-related code
embark search "user authentication login flow"

# Narrow to specific directory
embark search -p src/auth "JWT token validation"
