Search & browse

Semantic search and entity browsing from the CLI.

These commands query the local knowledge graph. Your AI agent uses MCP tools (search_code, search_document, etc.) for the same data during sessions. For code, MCP search_code returns graph-enriched source and optional inline annotations — see Knowledge layer.
