+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works

+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
110
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not

+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
119
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143

144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each

147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

47
+
48
+ Code Search is a task-aware retrieval CLI for coding agents. It returns a concise, verifiable set of
49
+ source evidence for an engineering task—not only a list of similar snippets.
50
+
51
+ The current release is an independently implemented, no-runtime-model MVP. It can read a working tree
52
+ or any Git revision and returns source locations, ranking reasons, structural evidence roles, and
53
+ payload statistics.
54
+
55
+ > Search less. Hand the agent the evidence it needs to act.
56
+
57
+ ## Quick start
58
+
59
+ ### Install from this checkout
60
+
61
+ The complete local flow works today:
62
+
63
+ ```bash
64
+ cd /path/to/code-search
65
+ uv tool install .
66
+ code-search install
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ `code-search install` installs the bundled `code-search` skill into Codex. Restart Codex after the
70
+ command so it can discover the skill. The installer is idempotent and refuses to overwrite a locally
71
+ modified skill unless `--force` is supplied.
72
+
73
+ After the first PyPI release, the first command becomes:
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ uv tool install code-search-cli
77
+ code-search install
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ The PyPI distribution name (`code-search-cli`) and CLI entry point (`code-search`) are ready, but this
81
+ repository has not been published to PyPI yet.
82
+
83
+ ### Retrieve evidence for a task
84
+
85
+ ```bash
86
+ code-search retrieve \
87
+ --repo /path/to/repository \
88
+ --task "Fix dependency injection order so startup events are not missed"
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ The command is read-only. It does not check out revisions, modify the target repository, or create an
92
+ index inside it. It incrementally maintains a per-user SQLite index under the operating-system cache
93
+ directory; use `code-search clean` to remove the cached source snapshot and derived metadata.
94
+
95
+ ## What you get
96
+
97
+ - A concise, de-duplicated evidence set instead of an unbounded list of matches.
98
+ - Source locations, scores, inclusion reasons, and estimated token cost for every result.
99
+ - Lightweight structural obligations for lifecycle, event, dependency-ordering, and test evidence.
100
+ - Direct reads from a working tree or historical Git revision without changing the checkout.
101
+ - A persistent incremental index that reuses unchanged source terms and structural boundaries.
102
+ - Java, Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript structural extraction with no runtime model dependency.
103
+ - A bundled Codex skill that teaches the agent when to retrieve, expand, or fall back to exact `rg`.
104
+
105
+ ## CLI
106
+
107
+ Read a historical revision:
108
+
109
+ ```bash
110
+ code-search retrieve \
111
+ --repo /path/to/repository \
112
+ --ref HEAD~1 \
113
+ --task "Resolve NullPointerException in scheduled dump" \
114
+ --format json
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ Expand a known anchor to its enclosing unit, siblings, or references:
118
+
119
+ ```bash
120
+ code-search expand \
121
+ --repo /path/to/repository \
122
+ --path src/main/java/example/Service.java \
123
+ --line 120 \
124
+ --relation enclosing
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ Manage the Codex skill:
128
+
129
+ ```bash
130
+ code-search install
131
+ code-search uninstall
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ Prewarm, inspect, or remove the per-repository index:
135
+
136
+ ```bash
137
+ code-search index --repo /path/to/repository
138
+ code-search status --repo /path/to/repository
139
+ code-search clean --repo /path/to/repository
140
+ ```
141
+
142
+ ## Benchmarks
143
+
144
+ The primary benchmark uses `NDCG@10`, `Recall@10`, `MRR@10`, latency, and Top-10 payload size. The
145
+ local shared subset contains 61 queries over pinned revisions of Gson, Apache Commons Lang, and
146
+ Jackson Databind. Semble's published 1,251-query results are kept in a separate table and are not
147
+ presented as a local rerun.

185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ This command does not rerun the benchmark or publish a package. See the
188
+ [shared benchmark methodology](https://github.com/quguai/code-search/blob/main/benchmarks/shared-java/README.md),
189
+ [raw local results](https://github.com/quguai/code-search/blob/main/benchmarks/shared-java/RESULTS.json), and
190
+ [published-reference provenance](https://github.com/quguai/code-search/blob/main/benchmarks/shared-java/PUBLISHED_REFERENCE.json).
191
+
192
+ The unit test suite creates only temporary synthetic repositories. The shared benchmark uses public,
193
+ pinned Gson, Apache Commons Lang, and Jackson Databind revisions with Semble's public annotations.
194
+ Machine-local and private development tasks are deliberately excluded from the public repository.
195
+
196
+ ## How it differs from Semble and code-review-graph
197
+
198
+ The projects overlap, but optimize different parts of an agent workflow. This comparison describes
199
+ their public product shape; it is not a claim that one implementation dominates every task.
200
+
201
+ | | Code Search | Semble | code-review-graph |
202
+ |---|---|---|---|
203
+ | Primary job | Assemble task-relevant, explainable evidence | Find relevant code chunks quickly | Persist code relations for review, impact, and multi-hop exploration |
204
+ | Result shape | Evidence bundle with source, reason, score, and structural role | Compact ranked code snippets | Graph nodes, relations, traversals, and review reports |
205
+ | Retrieval | Lexical and task-aware structural retrieval; no runtime model today | Code-aware chunks, semantic retrieval, BM25, fusion, and reranking | Structural graph plus full-text/vector hybrid search |
206
+ | Structure/history | Persistent incremental local index, lightweight expansion, and direct reads from any Git revision | Similar-chunk retrieval and cached working-tree indexes | Persistent incremental graph, callers, flows, communities, and impact analysis |
207
+ | Onboarding | CLI plus a bundled Codex skill installer | CLI installer for MCP, instructions, and search sub-agents across multiple agents | CLI, MCP, daemon, GitHub Action, and review workflows |
208
+ | Best fit today | Explainable task-evidence experiments | Fast general-purpose natural-language code search | Review and durable multi-hop structural questions |
209
+
210
+ Semble still has the broader onboarding path. Its `install` command can configure MCP, generated
211
+ instructions, or a dedicated sub-agent across several coding agents. `code-search install` currently
212
+ installs one Codex skill. Code Search intentionally uses CLI + skill as its primary interface; an MCP
213
+ server is optional, not a prerequisite.
214
+
215
+ ### Current advantages
216
+
217
+ - **Task roles, not only similarity.** Lifecycle, registration, publication, ordering, and test
218
+ evidence are represented separately instead of returning only one cluster of similar chunks.
219
+ - **Missing-behavior evidence.** For callback tasks, structurally similar sibling methods can expose
220
+ an expected publication step that is absent from the target path, instead of rewarding only code
221
+ that already contains the queried behavior.
222
+ - **Causal repair sets.** Startup-order tasks can connect a publisher, a lazily initialized static
223
+ subscriber, and the lifecycle owner whose dependency declaration must change, marking each
224
+ independently actionable production file.
225
+ - **Auditable evidence.** Each unit includes its location, reason, score, and estimated token cost.
226
+ - **Historical and no-model operation.** It can inspect a Git revision without checkout and has no
227
+ runtime model dependency.
228
+ - **Smaller output than the current graph adapter.** On the shared subset, Code Search returns a
229
+ 2,490-token Top-10 payload versus 16,162 tokens for code-review-graph.
230
+
231
+ ### Where competitors still lead
232
+
233
+ Semble leads this MVP on ranking quality, token efficiency, warm latency, and integration breadth.
234
+ code-review-graph provides deeper persistent relations, incremental graph maintenance, and review
235
+ automation. Code Search does not currently claim an overall win over either project.
236
+
237
+ ## How it works
238
+
239
+ The engine incrementally caches source terms and structural boundaries, splits identifiers, expands
240
+ engineering aliases, scores paths and content, identifies task-specific structural obligations,
241
+ contrasts related sibling methods when a callback path is missing expected behavior, detects missing
242
+ subscriber-initialization and dependency edges, focuses long methods into query-aware windows, expands
243
+ selected anchors, and packs non-duplicate evidence into a ranked result set. The differentiating thesis is:
244
+
245
+ > Return not only similar code, but the evidence subgraph required to answer the engineering task.
246
+
247
+ This is currently a transparent lexical/structural baseline. Independently implemented dense retrieval
248
+ and stronger parsers remain future work.

259
+
260
+ ## Current gaps
261
+
262
+ - **P0 — public held-out validation:** publish at least 30 untouched, license-compatible tasks with
263
+ executable patch tests and repeated model runs.
264
+ - **P1 — retrieval quality:** add independently implemented optional dense retrieval and stronger
265
+ AST/symbol parsers.
266
+ - **P1 — onboarding breadth:** add safe CLI/skill installers for more coding agents. Consider MCP only
267
+ if a resident index or structured tool discovery provides a measured benefit over CLI invocation.
268
+ - **P2 — distribution:** publish to PyPI and ship signed standalone binaries. Until publication,
269
+ `uv tool install code-search-cli` cannot install this project from the public registry.
270
+
271
+ ## Status and independent implementation
272
+
273
+ This is a testable experimental MVP, not a production release. It reaches `0.7217 NDCG@10` on the
274
+ 61-query shared Java subset versus Semble at `0.8250`; Recall@10 is `0.8525`, and warm query p50 is
275
+ 38.08 ms. These public results measure retrieval, not executable patch success, and are not a held-out
276
+ production claim.
277
+
278
+ The project is inspired by [Semble](https://github.com/MinishLab/semble) and
279
+ [code-review-graph](https://github.com/tirth8205/code-review-graph), which are used as public baselines.
280
+ It does not copy or rewrite their source, tests, prompts, documentation, interfaces, or distinctive
281
+ command vocabulary. The implementation and bundled Codex skill are independently designed around this
282
+ project's task-evidence workflow.
