Ask natural-language questions across large or nested repos when ripgrep alone cannot surface intent, features, or unfamiliar modules.
About
mgrep-code-search is an agent skill that wraps mgrep semantic search for developers exploring sizable or deeply nested repositories. It is meant for moments when you know what you are looking for in plain language—authentication flow, retry logic, feature flags—but exact strings are unknown or scattered. The skill positions semantic retrieval alongside traditional grep and ripgrep so your coding agent can map unfamiliar modules, trace cross-cutting concerns, and validate assumptions before edits. Install it when your project crosses the documented threshold of more than thirty non-gitignored files or when folder depth makes linear search tedious. It supports Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar agents that need procedural guidance for when to reach for mgrep instead of burning tokens on blind file walks. Complexity is intermediate because you still must phrase queries well and verify hits against source truth.
- mgrep-powered semantic search over non-gitignored sources in repos beyond ~30 files
- Natural-language queries for features, behavior, and intent—not only string literals
- Designed to complement grep/ripgrep rather than replace exact-match search
- Targets nested directory layouts where flat text search misses structure and context
- Explicit trigger: use when the codebase is large or hierarchically organized
Mgrep Code Search by the numbers

What it does
Ask natural-language questions across large or nested repos when ripgrep alone cannot surface intent, features, or unfamiliar modules.
Files
Semantic code search using mgrep for efficient codebase exploration. This skill should be used when searching or exploring codebases with more than 30 non-gitignored files and/or nested directory structures. It provides natural language semantic search that complements traditional grep/ripgrep for finding features, understanding intent, and exploring unfamiliar code.
