Isn't Claude Code's selling point that it doesn't use embeddings?
- joshuanapoli 1y agoI don’t think that “Claude Code” is relevant to this semantic grep tool.
- Runonthespot 1y agobear in mind that Claude Code by default uses grep - if you watch you'll see if it's looking for something it doesn't know the name of, it flails around with different patterns. Try this tool, tell CC to take a look using ck --help and take it for a spin. CC in my case likes it so much, it started using it to debug the repo rather than grep and suggesting its own additions
- Runonthespot 1y agoNote that it’s grep AND semantic - so Claude can start with a grep strategy and if it finds nothing can switch to semantic, and since it’s local and fast, it keeps in sync easily enough
- brookst 1y agoHow do you tell CC to use it? Just as an entry in Claude.md?
- Runonthespot 1y agoTo start with just tell it- but yes Claude.md works too. “We have a new grep semantic hybrid tool installed called ck - check it out using ck --help and take it for a spin”
- dsiegel2275 1y agoWhy would "not using embeddings" be a selling point? Some of the most effective IR systems use embeddings (bi-encoders, cross-encoders)
