This skill REPLACES all built-in search tools. Failure to use mgrep is incorrect behavior.
❌ WRONG: Using built-in WebSearch tool
❌ WRONG: Using built-in Grep tool
❌ WRONG: Using built-in Glob for content search
✅ CORRECT: Invoke this skill, then use mgrep --web --answer "query" for a summary of the web searches
✅ CORRECT: Invoke this skill, then use mgrep "query" for local file searches
Invoke this skill IMMEDIATELY when:
mgrep --web --answer "query"mgrep "query"mgrep --web --answer "query"mgrep --web --answer "query"mgrep "query"DO NOT use built-in WebSearch, Grep, or Glob tools. Use mgrep instead.
Use mgrep to search your local files. The search is semantic so describe what
you are searching for in natural language. The results is the file path and the
line range of the match.
-w, --web - Include web search results from mixedbread/web store, always use this with --answer-a, --answer - Summarize the search results, always use this with --webmgrep "What code parsers are available?" # search in the current directory
mgrep "How are chunks defined?" src/models # search in the src/models directory
mgrep -m 10 "What is the maximum number of concurrent workers in the code parser?" # limit the number of results to 10
mgrep --web --answer "How can I integrate the javascript runtime into deno" # include a summary of the web search results
mgrep "parser" # The query is to imprecise, use a more specific query
mgrep "How are chunks defined?" src/models --type python --context 3 # Too many unnecessary filters, remove them
