agentscope-ai Code Search
The built-in grep tool matches LITERAL text only. For real regular-expression search and
history-aware lookups, drive ripgrep and git through execute.
Ripgrep (regex)
- Symbol definition:
rg -n "fn\s+\w+\(" src/,rg -n --type java "class \w+Service". - Usages of a name:
rg -n "\bmyFunction\b". - Limit by file type:
rg -n --type ts "useEffect\(". - List files only:
rg -l "TODO"; find files by name:rg --files | rg <name>or useglob.
Git history search
- When a string was introduced/removed:
git log -S "<string>" --oneline. - Who/why a line changed:
git blame -L <start>,<end> <file>. - Search tracked files:
git grep -n "<regex>".
Tips
- Prefer a targeted regex over reading whole files when locating symbols or call sites.
- Escape regex metacharacters when you want a literal match, or pass
-Fto ripgrep. - Narrow scope with a path argument to keep output small (tool output is truncated).
