At a glance

Fast codebase search via WarpGrep (20x faster than grep). An agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

  • Agent Workflows work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Usage, Parameters and Examples, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls uv; needs MORPH_API_KEY

What it does

Morph Search is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Fast codebase search via WarpGrep (20x faster than grep)

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/morph-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MORPH_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MORPH_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Morph Search loads about 409 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~409

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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.

  • Edit files programmatically

Usage

Search for code patterns
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
    --search "authentication" --path "."
Search with regex
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
    --search "def.*login" --path "./src"
Edit a file
bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
    --edit "/path/to/file.py" --content "new content"

Parameters

ParameterDescription
--searchSearch query/pattern
--pathDirectory to search (default: .)
--editFile path to edit
--contentNew content for file (use with --edit)

Examples

bash
# Find all async functions
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
    --search "async def" --path "./src"

# Search for imports
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
    --search "from fastapi import" --path "."
