SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Colgrep integration for Pi gives developers a unified, in-session code search experience by exposing ColGrep as an agent tool and keeping the index up to date across a session. We designed it to streamline fast, semantic searches within code, tests, and docs used by the Pi-colgrep extension.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exposes the ColGrep CLI as an agent tool within the Pi extension, enabling seamless code search.
  • Maintains and refreshes the index in the background to keep search results current during a development session.
  • Supports use cases across code, tests, and documentation to accelerate navigation, code review, and onboarding.

Quick Start

Run a ColGrep-backed search within the Pi-colgrep extension to index and search your codebase in a single session.

Can I search across tests and documentation in addition to source code?▼

Yes, the semantic search supports use cases across code, tests, and documentation, accelerating navigation, code review, and onboarding within your projects.

Do I need to install the ColGrep binary to use this extension?▼

Yes, using this in-session code search requires the ColGrep binary installed locally, as it drives the fast indexing and semantic query capabilities within the extension.

How does the index stay current during an active development session?▼

The index is maintained and refreshed in the background through a non-blocking startup workflow and an extension-driven index-management path to keep search results up to date.

What is the best way to index and search a codebase in a single session?▼

Running a ColGrep-backed search within the Pi-colgrep extension quickly indexes your codebase and maintains it in the background, keeping results current without blocking your workflow.
