Vexor CLI

Vexor CLI Skill

Goal

Find files by intent (what they do), not exact text.

Use It Like This

• Use vexor first for intent-based file discovery.
• If vexor is missing, follow references/install-vexor.md.

Command

vexor "<QUERY>" [--path <ROOT>] [--mode <MODE>] [--ext .py,.md] [--exclude-pattern <PATTERN>] [--top 5] [--format rich|porcelain|porcelain-z]

Common Flags

• --path/-p: root directory (default: current dir)
• --mode/-m: indexing/search strategy
• --ext/-e: limit file extensions (e.g., .py,.md)
• --exclude-pattern: exclude paths by gitignore-style pattern (repeatable; .js → **/*.js)
• --top/-k: number of results
• --include-hidden: include dotfiles
• --no-respect-gitignore: include ignored files
• --no-recursive: only the top directory
• --format: rich (default) or porcelain/porcelain-z for scripts
• --no-cache: in-memory only, do not read/write index cache

Modes (pick the cheapest that works)

• auto: routes by file type (default)
• name: filename-only (fastest)
• head: first lines only (fast)
• brief: keyword summary (good for PRDs)
• code: code-aware chunking for .py/.js/.ts (best default for codebases)
• outline: Markdown headings/sections (best for docs)
• full: chunk full file contents (slowest, highest recall)

Troubleshooting

• Need ignored or hidden files: add --include-hidden and/or --no-respect-gitignore.
• Scriptable output: use --format porcelain (TSV) or --format porcelain-z (NUL-delimited).
• Get detailed help: vexor search --help.
• Config issues: vexor doctor or vexor config --show diagnoses API, cache, and connectivity (tell the user to set up).

Examples

# Find CLI entrypoints / commands
vexor search "typer app commands" --top 5

# Search docs by headings/sections
vexor search "user authentication flow" --path docs --mode outline --ext .md --format porcelain

# Locate config loading/validation logic
vexor search "config loader" --path . --mode code --ext .py

# Exclude tests and JavaScript files
vexor search "config loader" --path . --exclude-pattern tests/** --exclude-pattern .js

Tips

• First time search will index files (may take a minute). Subsequent searches are fast. Use longer timeouts if needed.
• Results return similarity ranking, exact file location, line numbers, and matching snippet preview.
• Combine --ext with --exclude-pattern to focus on a subset (exclude rules apply on top).

Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior decisions and patterns to avoid re-discovering solutions. Cache results for instant retrieval in future sessions.

# Check for prior development context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "prior work and patterns related to Vexor Cli"

Storing Results

After completing work, store development decisions for future sessions:

python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Completed task with key insights documented for future reference" \
  --type decision --project <project> \
  --tags vexor-cli default

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share outcomes with other agents so the team stays aligned and avoids duplicate work.

python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Task completed — results documented and shared with team" \
  --project <project>
