What it does

Grep is an agent skill from openakita/openakita. Search file contents using regex pattern across directories. Cross-platform pure Python implementation (no external tools needed). Returns matching lines with file paths and line numbers.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: An open-source AI assistant framework with skills and agent architecture. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

Example prompts

“/grep”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f5b38d. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Grep loads about 296 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~296

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

The full file from openakita/openakita at commit 5f5b38d, republished under its AGPL-3.0 licence (© openakita). 62 words, ~296 tokens.

How do I install Grep in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add openakita/openakita --skill grep -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/system/grep in openakita/openakita) into .claude/skills/grep in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Grep in Codex?

Run `npx skills add openakita/openakita --skill grep -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/system/grep in openakita/openakita) into .agents/skills/grep in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Grep in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add openakita/openakita --skill grep -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/grep, .gemini/skills/grep, .github/skills/grep and .opencode/skills/grep in your project.

What does Grep need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Grep is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Grep access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Grep safe to install?

How many tokens does Grep use?

About 296 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Grep?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Grep: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), PDF Processing (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), NotebookLM Research Assistant (PleasePrompto/notebooklm-skill, 7.8k stars) and Manim Video Production (browser-use/video-use, 28k stars).
