SIFS Search: Fast hybrid code search for agents
by @tristanmanchester
Use this skill when you need to find code in a local checkout or Git source by behavior, intent, symbol, file path, related implementation, or indexed chunk...
Versionv0.1.0
β‘ When to Use
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| - Use before reading many files by hand when the task starts with "where is...", "how is...", "find the implementation...", or "what code handles...". | |
| - Do not use for general web research, package documentation lookup, or non-code document search unless the user explicitly points SIFS at a source tree. | |
| Start by discovering the local contract: | |
| ```bash | |
| sifs agent-context --json | |
| ``` | |
| Search by intent, behavior, symbol, or exact text: | |
| ```bash | |
| sifs search "authentication flow" --source | |
| sifs search "save_pretrained" --source | |
| sifs search "save model to disk" --source | |
| ``` | |
| Inspect indexed files and chunks before reading broad files: | |
| ```bash | |
| sifs list-files --source | |
| sifs get src/auth.rs 42 --source | |
| sifs find-related src/auth.rs 42 --source | |
| ``` | |
| Use `--source | |
| If MCP tools named `search`, `get_chunk`, or `list_files` are visible, they may be used for the same workflow. If they are missing, configured-but-invisible, or failing, fall back to the CLI immediately. | |
| Bundled support files: | |
| - `references/commands.md` contains command recipes. | |
| - `references/mcp.md` explains MCP fallback rules. | |
| - `references/troubleshooting.md` covers setup and stale-instruction checks. | |
| - `scripts/check-setup.sh` verifies that `sifs` is on `PATH` and can print the agent contract. | |
