How does the Smart Search skill know which search method to use?

The skill analyzes your query phrasing: it looks for conceptual keywords for semantic search, specific syntax for text search, or identifier names for symbol search.

Does this skill work across multiple programming languages?

Yes, as it leverages the underlying miller tool capabilities, it can intelligently navigate and index code regardless of the specific programming language used.

What happens if my search query is ambiguous?

The skill utilizes a decision tree fallback, typically attempting a semantic search first and then refining with text-based matching to ensure high-relevance results.

Can it find code based on functionality rather than naming?

Yes, the semantic search mode is designed to find logic based on intent, such as 'error handling' or 'user auth', even if those exact words aren't in the function name.

生産性とワークフロー

Optimizes code discovery by automatically selecting the most effective search strategy based on query intent.

概要

Smart Code Search enhances Claude's ability to navigate complex codebases by intelligently differentiating between conceptual inquiries, exact string matches, and symbol definitions. By analyzing the user's intent, the skill automatically selects the optimal search method—semantic for concepts, text for literal strings, or symbol for definitions—to retrieve the most relevant results without requiring the user to specify technical parameters manually. It serves as an essential investigator tool for exploring unfamiliar architectures or locating specific logic within large repositories.
