search-context: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Find, clone, inspect, and summarize high-quality GitHub reference repositories for coding agents. Use when a user asks for GitHub reference projects, examples, prior art, inspiration, implementation patterns, or includes "$search-context" in a coding prompt.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Search Context

Use this skill when the user wants an agent to find useful GitHub reference projects for a feature, UI pattern, implementation pattern, platform, framework, or library.

Trigger examples:

$search-context visual progress indicator ring for ios app latest 2026
find GitHub references for a SwiftUI circular progress ring
how do good projects implement this pattern?
clone a few reference repos and tell me which files to inspect
give this agent GitHub context before implementing the feature

The goal is not faster raw code search. The goal is better reference selection, fewer cloned repositories, less context noise, and a clean manifest that tells the coding agent what to inspect.

Default workflow

Convert the user request into concise GitHub search phrases. For broad app/product requests, split the request into stack, domain, and pattern facets instead of running one overloaded query.
If the user asks for local/third-party references, search the local reference library first.
Use GitHub repository discovery for fresh references, not GitHub code search.
Prefer recent, maintained, readable repositories.
Clone only the top candidate pool using blobless shallow clone.
Inspect local and cloned repositories with rg.
Verify candidates with local proof terms and reject generic/noisy references.
Write a compact Markdown reference manifest with rejected/noisy references.
Tell the agent which files are worth reading and why.

Required local tools

This skill expects these tools to be available in the shell:

gh, authenticated with GitHub
git
rg, also known as ripgrep
node version 18 or newer

Before running a search, use:

node scripts/search-context.mjs check

Main command

From the skill directory:

node scripts/search-context.mjs run "visual progress indicator ring for ios app latest 2026" \
  --preset ios-swift \
  --max-repos 5

If the package has been linked with npm link, use:

search-context run "visual progress indicator ring for ios app latest 2026" --preset ios-swift

Presets

Use a preset when the platform or stack is clear.

ios-swift: iOS, Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Apple UI components.
web-react: React, Next.js, Vite, Tailwind, component patterns.
generic: fallback when the stack is unknown.

The preset controls GitHub language filters, query expansion, local rg terms, file globs, and scoring hints. Presets are hints, not the whole plan: broad requests should still be decomposed into narrower searches such as framework architecture, domain examples, and UI/workflow patterns.

Local reference library

Use the local library for existing third-party folders or previously curated references:

node scripts/search-context.mjs library add ../third-party/some-repo --tags react,ui --presets web-react --project current
node scripts/search-context.mjs library search "ProgressRing"
node scripts/search-context.mjs run "React progress ring" --sources library,github --project current

Library metadata is stored in the OS user cache at <cache>/library/repositories.json. Project-specific clusters are stored in the same registry when --project current or --project <id> is used.

Keep FFF or any future long-lived index as an optional search backend under this library workflow. Do not make FFF a hard requirement and do not split this into a separate skill unless the goal changes from reference selection to general code search.

Clone policy

Use blobless shallow clones for reference repositories:

git clone --depth=1 --filter=blob:none --single-branch --no-tags <repo-url> <user-cache>/search-context/refs/owner__repo

Do not use normal full clones by default. Do not clone more than 5 repositories unless the user explicitly asks. Do not install dependencies from cloned reference repos. Do not execute cloned project code. Do not copy large code blocks into the agent context.

By default, keep cloned repositories and manifests in the OS user cache, not in the current project. Use --project-local only when the user explicitly wants .refs/ and .context/ in the current directory. Inside a Git worktree, those project-local paths must be ignored or the CLI will refuse to write them.

Search policy

Use repository discovery first. Avoid using gh search code as the primary source. Use local rg after cloning to verify that the repository actually contains relevant implementation files. GitHub Code Search can be used as an optional pre-clone proof gate, but do not depend on it by default because the API is rate-limited.

Good reference selection beats raw search speed.

For mixed requests, prefer several narrow repository searches over one broad query. Example: "habit life app with TanStack Start" should produce stack queries like tanstack start, domain queries like habit life, and pattern queries like habit life tanstack start. Do not let a general React preset drown the run in unrelated component libraries.

Proof gates should reject or down-rank candidates that only match generic terms like react, start, or full. For known stacks/domains, require concrete code proof where possible:

TanStack Start: @tanstack/react-start, createServerFn, StartServer, StartClient, routeTree.gen, vinxi.
Habit apps: habit, streak, completion, calendar, routine.
Noise: raw GitHub zip links, default secrets, and README-only bait.

Score repositories by:

intent match
language and stack match
recent pushed_at
not archived
not a fork unless explicitly useful
readable size
license presence
examples, demos, samples, or preview apps
local matches in relevant implementation files

Output contract

Always produce a Markdown manifest. The default output is:

<user-cache>/search-context/runs/<timestamp>/reference-context.md

The manifest must include:

user goal
preset used
search plan mode and facets, when generated
GitHub search phrases used
top reference repositories
why each repository is useful
local path for each cloned repository
relevant files with short snippets only
rejected references with short reasons
what to study
what not to copy
any failures or uncertainty

Do not dump full repositories or long file contents into the response.

Recommended agent behavior after the manifest

After the manifest is written, the coding agent should:

Open only the relevant files listed in the manifest.
Study implementation patterns, API choices, animation structure, state handling, and styling.
Adapt the pattern to the current project.
Respect licensing and avoid copying large sections of code.
Implement the requested feature in the user's project.
Run tests or build checks if available.

Useful commands

Run a reference search:

node scripts/search-context.mjs run "SwiftUI progress ring animation" --preset ios-swift

Preview searches without cloning:

node scripts/search-context.mjs run "SwiftUI progress ring animation" --preset ios-swift --dry-run

Use SSH for cloning:

node scripts/search-context.mjs run "SwiftUI progress ring animation" --preset ios-swift --ssh

Search the local reference library:

node scripts/search-context.mjs library search "Circle().trim"

Clean cached reference repos older than 30 days:

node scripts/search-context.mjs clean --older-than 30d

Safety and licensing

Treat cloned repositories as untrusted code. Never run project scripts, package managers, tests, binaries, or install commands inside a reference repository unless the user explicitly asks and the risk is understood. Use reference repos for ideas, structure, and comparison, not for blind copying. Surface license information in the manifest when available.

The skill relies on external tools (gh, git, rg, node) which must be installed and authenticated; this is clearly documented.
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Stars/forks activity: 140 stars, 16 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
