# Code Search
## When To Use
- Finding existing implementations or libraries on GitHub
- Part of a `/tome:research` session or standalone search
## When NOT To Use
- Searching local codebase (use Grep or Explore agent)
- Academic literature (use `/tome:papers`)
Search GitHub for implementations of a given topic.
## Usage
Invoked as part of `/tome:research` or standalone.
## Workflow
1. Build search queries using
`tome.channels.github.build_github_search_queries()`
2. Execute queries via WebSearch
3. Parse results via `parse_github_result()`
4. Optionally use GitHub API via
`build_github_api_search()` for richer metadata
5. Rank via `rank_github_findings()`
6. Return Finding objects
## Exit Criteria
- [ ] At least one GitHub search query built and executed via
WebSearch for the requested topic
- [ ] Results parsed into Finding objects containing repo metadata
(name, URL, stars) and a relevance score
- [ ] Findings returned from `rank_github_findings()` sorted by
relevance score descending
- [ ] If no results are found for the query, this is reported
explicitly rather than returning an empty list silentlyMore General & Other skills

vercel-labs/skills
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
