When to use this skill

Whenever you need to search your local files. Do not use grep, use this skill instead.

How to use this skill

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.

Do

Copymgrep "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

Don't

Copymgrep "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
