+### Added
+
+- A repository map: the important files with their classes and functions, signatures and line
+  numbers, ranked by how much of the code uses them and cut to a token budget. Small repositories
+  (up to 300 source files) get it in the model's instructions; larger ones get a `repo_map` tool,
+  which can zoom into a folder. Python is read with its own parser; TypeScript, JavaScript, Go,
+  Rust, Java and Kotlin by their declarations. Measured with qwen3.6-35b, it halved the steps the
+  model took to find code and cut the tokens it read by 39%. The `repo_map` setting turns it off.
+- Semantic code search: with an embedding model in Ollama (qwen3-embedding, nomic-embed-text, …),
+  `lcode index` indexes the repository, and the model gets a `search_code` tool that finds code by
+  what it does. Changed files are embedded again before each search. During a session the
+  embedding model runs on the CPU, so it never pushes lcode's model off the GPU. The
+  `embed_model` setting picks the model or turns it off.
+- `lcode bench --tasks find-concept` (a task in a larger repository), `--repo-map` and
+  `--code-search`. See [Repository map and code search](https://nasser1941.github.io/lcode/search/).

+# Repository map and code search
+
+On an unfamiliar codebase the model spends many steps finding its way around, and `grep` only
+finds exact words: not "where do failed uploads wait before trying again?". Two things help.
+
+## The repository map
+
+A compact outline of the codebase: for each important file, its classes and functions with their
+signatures and line numbers, ranked by how much of the rest of the code uses them, and cut to a
+token budget:
+
+```text
+storage/sender.py:
+  12: class TransferFailed(Exception)
+  16: def send_file(bucket: str, path: str) -> int
+  24: def send_part(bucket: str, path: str, number: int, part: bytes) -> dict
+transport/http.py:
+  10: def put(url: str, body: bytes, checksum: str='') -> dict
+  21: def retry_delay_header(headers: dict) -> float | None
+…
+```
+
+- **Small repositories** (up to 300 source files, with a map of about 1,500 tokens or less) get the
+  whole map in the model's instructions.
+- **Larger ones** get a `repo_map` tool instead, which the model calls when it needs the overview,
+  or for one folder at a time.
+
+Python is read with Python's own parser; TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java and Kotlin by their
+declarations. Files git ignores, `node_modules`, build output and virtual environments are left
+out, and tests rank lower. The map needs nothing installed. Turn it off with
+`lcode config set repo_map false`.
+
+## Semantic code search
+
+With an embedding model in Ollama, the model can search the code by meaning with the `search_code`
+tool: `search_code("where are failed uploads retried")` returns the closest pieces of code with
+`file:line` and the first lines of each.
+
+```bash
+ollama pull qwen3-embedding:0.6b      # or nomic-embed-text (smaller)
+cd ~/code/my-project
+lcode index                           # build the index (once; it updates itself after that)
+```
+
+`lcode index` cuts the source files into overlapping 40-line pieces, embeds them and keeps the
+vectors in `~/.local/state/lcode/index/`. During a session, files that changed are embedded again
+before each search; after big changes (many files), `search_code` says the index is out of date
+and `lcode index` brings it up to date. `lcode index --status` shows the state.
+
+!!! note "Sharing one GPU"
+
+    An embedding model is small, but on a 12 GB GPU it still pushes a large coding model out of
+    memory. So during a session lcode runs the embedding model **on the CPU** (searches take a
+    fraction of a second; re-embedding a changed file a second or two). `lcode index` uses the GPU
+    by default, since you run it outside a session: it indexes about 25 pieces a second there,
+    against 1–2 on the CPU (`lcode index --cpu` keeps the GPU free). The coding model is reloaded at
+    the next request.
+
+| Setting | |
+|---|---|
+| `embed_model` | `auto` (default: the first installed of qwen3-embedding, nomic-embed-text, embeddinggemma, mxbai-embed-large, bge-m3, all-minilm), a model name, or `off` |
+| `repo_map` | `true` (default) or `false` |
+
+`search_code` is only offered once the repository has been indexed, and `lcode doctor` shows
+whether it is.
+
+## Measured
+
+`lcode bench qwen3.6-35b --tasks find-code,find-concept --rounds 3` on a 12 GB laptop. `find-concept`
+asks which function computes the pause before a failed upload is sent again, in a 40-file backend
+full of look-alikes (retry policies, job requeue delays, log backoff); the right function's name and
+docstring use none of the question's words.
+
+| | find-code | find-concept | Prompt tokens, all 6 runs |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Neither | 3.3 steps, 10 s | 4.0 steps, 13 s | 56K |
+| Repository map (`--repo-map`) | **2.0 steps, 7 s** | **2.0 steps**, 13 s | **34K** |
+| Code search (`--code-search`) | 3.7 steps, 11 s | 4.3 steps, 14 s | 63K |
+| Both | 2.0 steps, 7 s | 2.3 steps, 13 s | 40K |
+
+Every run found the right answer. The map halved the steps on these tasks and cut the tokens the
+model read by 39%. Code search made no difference here: the model preferred `grep` even when
+`search_code` was offered, and on these small repositories grep gets there in a few steps. Where
+code search should pay off is in large repositories, where grep returns too much; the index is
+there for that, and costs nothing until you run `lcode index`.
