Searches local files from an agent through the XiaoyaoSearch MCP server, using semantic, full-text, hybrid, image-similarity and voice queries.

What it does
Written in Chinese, this skill exposes five search tools from the XiaoyaoSearch MCP server for finding local files. semantic_search matches natural-language descriptions with a BGE-M3 vector model, fulltext_search does exact keyword matching with Whoosh, hybrid_search fuses both with the RRF algorithm, image_search finds similar local images with CN-CLIP, and voice_search transcribes an audio file with FasterWhisper and then runs a semantic, full-text or hybrid search. Most tools take a query, a result limit of 1 to 100 that defaults to 20, a similarity threshold from 0.0 to 1.0 that defaults to 0.5, and an optional file type filter.
It requires the XiaoyaoSearch backend to be running, by default at 127.0.0.1 on port 8000, with the MCP feature enabled and an index already built. The agent discovers the tools over MCP and gets JSON results with totals and search time. Environment variables control the SSE endpoint, server name, default limit, default threshold and whether voice search is enabled, and a curl request to the /mcp endpoint tests the connection. Worked examples cover finding machine-learning documents, Python files containing async def, similar design drafts, a spoken request for last week's meeting notes, and a broad search on Vue 3 components.
When your agent uses it
- Finding local documents by describing them in natural language
- Searching for files that contain an exact keyword or code snippet
- Finding local images similar to a given picture
- Searching files by speaking the request
Example prompts
- “Find my documents about machine learning algorithm optimization.”
- “Find Python files containing async def.”
- “Find design drafts similar to the screenshot at ~/Pictures/mockup.png.”
- “Search for last week's meeting notes using the recording at ~/audio/query.wav.”
Requirements
- The XiaoyaoSearch backend running locally with MCP enabled
- A completed search index
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- semantic_search（语义搜索）
- fulltext_search（全文搜索）
- hybrid_search（混合搜索）
- image_search（图像搜索）
- voice_search（语音搜索）
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a9c6fc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
XiaoyaoSearch Local File Search loads about 836 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 170 words (~836 tokens).
