git-ai Code Search

Semantic code search with AST analysis and change tracking.

Quick Start

For Agents - 3-step pattern:

1. check_index({ path }) → verify index exists
2. semantic_search({ path, query }) → find relevant code  
3. read_file({ path, file }) → read the actual code

For Users - build index first:

cd your-repo
git-ai ai index        # build index
git-ai ai semantic "authentication logic"  # search

Core Tools

Need	Tool	Example
Search by meaning	`semantic_search`	`{ path, query: "error handling", topk: 10 }`
Search by name	`search_symbols`	`{ path, query: "handleAuth", mode: "substring" }`
Who calls X	`ast_graph_callers`	`{ path, name: "processOrder" }`
What X calls	`ast_graph_callees`	`{ path, name: "processOrder" }`
Call chain	`ast_graph_chain`	`{ path, name: "main", direction: "downstream" }`
Project overview	`repo_map`	`{ path, max_files: 20 }`

Rules

Always pass path - Every tool requires explicit repository path
Check index first - Run check_index before search tools
Read before modify - Use read_file to understand code before changes
