Antigravity-awesome-skills vexor-cli

Semantic file discovery via `vexor`. Use whenever locating where something is implemented/loaded/defined in a medium or large repo, or when the file location is unclear. Prefer this over manual browsing.

Vexor CLI Skill

When to Use

  • You need to locate files by intent rather than exact filename or text match.
  • The repository is large enough that manual browsing or naive grep is too slow or ambiguous.
  • You want semantic discovery of where something is implemented, loaded, defined, or documented.

Goal

Find files by intent (what they do), not exact text.

Use It Like This

  • Use
    vexor
    first for intent-based file discovery.
  • If
    vexor
    is missing, follow references/install-vexor.md.

Command

vexor "<QUERY>" [--path <ROOT>] [--mode <MODE>] [--ext .py,.md] [--exclude-pattern <PATTERN>] [--top 5] [--format rich|porcelain|porcelain-z]

Common Flags

  • --path/-p
    : root directory (default: current dir)
  • --mode/-m
    : indexing/search strategy
  • --ext/-e
    : limit file extensions (e.g.,
    .py,.md
    )
  • --exclude-pattern
    : exclude paths by gitignore-style pattern (repeatable;
    .js
    **/*.js
    )
  • --top/-k
    : number of results
  • --include-hidden
    : include dotfiles
  • --no-respect-gitignore
    : include ignored files
  • --no-recursive
    : only the top directory
  • --format
    :
    rich
    (default) or
    porcelain
    /
    porcelain-z
    for scripts
  • --no-cache
    : in-memory only, do not read/write index cache

Modes (pick the cheapest that works)

  • auto
    : routes by file type (default)
  • name
    : filename-only (fastest)
  • head
    : first lines only (fast)
  • brief
    : keyword summary (good for PRDs)
  • code
    : code-aware chunking for
    .py/.js/.ts
    (best default for codebases)
  • outline
    : Markdown headings/sections (best for docs)
  • full
    : chunk full file contents (slowest, highest recall)

Troubleshooting

  • Need ignored or hidden files: add
    --include-hidden
    and/or
    --no-respect-gitignore
    .
  • Scriptable output: use
    --format porcelain
    (TSV) or
    --format porcelain-z
    (NUL-delimited).
  • Get detailed help:
    vexor search --help
    .
  • Config issues:
    vexor doctor
    or
    vexor config --show
    diagnoses API, cache, and connectivity (tell the user to set up).

Examples

# Find CLI entrypoints / commands
vexor search "typer app commands" --top 5
# Search docs by headings/sections
vexor search "user authentication flow" --path docs --mode outline --ext .md --format porcelain
# Locate config loading/validation logic
vexor search "config loader" --path . --mode code --ext .py
# Exclude tests and JavaScript files
vexor search "config loader" --path . --exclude-pattern tests/** --exclude-pattern .js

Tips

  • First time search will index files (may take a minute). Subsequent searches are fast. Use longer timeouts if needed.
  • Results return similarity ranking, exact file location, line numbers, and matching snippet preview.
  • Combine
    --ext
    with
    --exclude-pattern
    to focus on a subset (exclude rules apply on top).

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
