Mgrep Code Search skill
mgrep-code-searchintellectronica/agent-skillsplugins/mgrep-code-search/skills/SKILL.md
Semantic code search using mgrep for efficient codebase exploration. This skill should be used when searching or exploring codebases with more than 30 non-gitignored files and/or nested directory structures. It provides natural language semantic search that complements traditional grep/ripgrep for finding features, understanding intent, and exploring unfamiliar code.

Install the Mgrep Code Search skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills --skill mgrep-code-search
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/intellectronica/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/agent-skills/plugins/mgrep-code-search/skills ~/.claude/skills/mgrep-code-search
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 69 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 752 tok |
| Only if opened | No bundled files | — |
Until it is used, mgrep-code-search costs about 20× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 44 skills from intellectronica/agent-skills would load 3,100 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
