This Skill helps developers efficiently find information within a codebase by guiding them to the most appropriate search tool based on their specific needs, whether it's semantic understanding, structural analysis, or simple text matching.
Use the search-tools skill to find how authentication is implemented in the codebase.

Code search tool selection depends on your query type: use LEANN for semantic search, AST-grep for structural analysis, Morph for fast text search, or Grep for literal pattern matching. A decision tree helps guide the optimal choice.
Semantic search uses LEANN to find code based on meaning, while structural analysis uses AST-grep to query code structure and patterns. Both facilitate efficient code navigation but target different aspects of code retrieval.
LEANN performs semantic search to find authentication implementations by meaning rather than exact text. Command examples show how to search, list indexes, and rebuild them to retrieve relevant code sections efficiently.
Use AST-grep for structural analysis when you need to match code syntax and structure, and use Grep for literal pattern matching when searching for exact text strings. The decision tree helps determine the right tool.
Morph is recommended for fast text search within a codebase. It is one of four tools compared—alongside LEANN, AST-grep, and Grep—to help developers select the optimal method for efficient code navigation and information retrieval.
Grep handles literal pattern matching but lacks semantic understanding and structural analysis capabilities. For meaning-based retrieval, LEANN is preferred, while AST-grep suits structural queries, making Grep limited to simple text matches.
