code_search
Search codebases semantically using natural language queries. Supports filters for function, class, struct, and path, with automatic indexing.
Instructions
Semantic code search. Auto-indexes on first use, incrementally updates thereafter.
Args: query: Natural language description of what you're looking for. Supports special syntax: - function:name or fn:name - search for specific function - class:name or cls:name - search for specific class - struct:name - search for specific struct (Rust, C, Go) - path:prefix - filter to paths starting with prefix - -path:pattern - exclude paths containing pattern path: Root path of codebase (defaults to current directory) mode: "file", "chunk" (function/class level), or "both" (combined) limit: Max results to return (default 10) language: Filter by language (python, typescript, etc.) path_prefix: Only return results from paths starting with prefix (e.g., "src/") exclude_paths: Exclude paths containing these strings (e.g., ["test", "vendor"]) output_format: Output format - "text", "json", or "markdown"
Returns: Formatted search results with file paths and relevant code
