SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires octocode, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables semantic code search, architecture understanding, and persistent memory across large codebases by orchestrating the Octocode CLI from Claude Code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic search across codebases to locate definitions and usage.
  • GraphRAG-based knowledge graph to analyze dependencies, relationships, and architecture.
  • Memory system to save technical decisions and context for future conversations.
  • Automatic index detection and on-demand indexing to streamline workflows.
  • Cross-language code exploration and quick context gathering.

Quick Start

Install the Octocode CLI and configure embedding keys. Install this skill into Claude Code's skills directory. Ensure an index exists by running octocode index, then perform a semantic search like octocode search authentication workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How does semantic code search work across large codebases?

Semantic code search locates definitions and usage by applying GraphRAG and embedding API keys to map dependencies and extract architectural insights across multiple programming languages.

How do I set up GraphRAG memory for code analysis?

To set up GraphRAG memory for code analysis, install the Octocode CLI, configure embedding API keys, and generate an index by running an index command before querying.

Can I analyze code dependencies across different programming languages?

Yes, cross-language code exploration and dependency mapping are supported by applying semantic search and GraphRAG to extract architectural insights from repositories of varying languages.

What do I need to automate context-aware code analysis in Claude Code?

Automating context-aware code analysis requires the Octocode CLI, embedding API keys, and an existing index to enable automatic detection and on-demand indexing integrated into Claude Code workflows.

Why use GraphRAG for codebase architecture understanding instead of standard search?

GraphRAG builds a knowledge graph to analyze code dependencies, relationships, and architecture, while a memory system saves technical decisions for future conversations, going beyond standard search.

Does semantic code search work without a pre-existing index?

Semantic code search relies on automatic index detection and on-demand indexing, but running the octocode index command beforehand ensures the codebase is mapped for accurate queries.
