sgrep SKILL.md skillA

sgrep from xiaoconstantine/sgrep is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add xiaoconstantine/sgrep/sgrep@git:20260821.03b1355

Pins git:20260821.03b1355 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Semantic and hybrid code and conversation search for intent-based queries. Use when exploring unfamiliar codebases, finding code by concept instead of exact text, or recalling past agent conversations about similar problems.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# sgrep - Smart Code & Conversation Search

Use `sgrep` for semantic and hybrid search across **code** and **agent conversations**. It understands intent, not just exact strings.

## When to Use

### Code Search
- Finding code by **concept**: "error handling", "authentication logic", "rate limiting"
- Searching for **specific terms** with semantic context: use `--hybrid`
- Best code-search accuracy after indexing: use `--hybrid --colbert`
- Exploring unfamiliar codebases
- When ripgrep patterns keep missing relevant code

### Conversation Search
- Finding past discussions with **Claude Code**, **Codex CLI**, **Cursor**, **OpenCode**, or **Pi**
- Recalling how you solved a similar problem before
- Building context from previous sessions for new tasks
- Searching across all your coding agent interactions

## Commands

```bash
# First time only
sgrep setup
sgrep setup --with-rerank  # optional, only for --rerank

# Index current directory; builds compact TQ-MSE chunk/file vectors by default
sgrep index .

# Optional ColBERT segment codec override
sgrep index . --colbert-codec tqmse
sgrep index . --colbert-codec int8
sgrep index . --colbert-codec pq6

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add xiaoconstantine/sgrep/sgrep@sha256:255ff82aaec08a5f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.03b1355, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
