What it does

Search Router is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Choose the right search tool for each query type

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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.

Example prompts

Requirements

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 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 bash).
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

Search Router loads about 634 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~634

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.

Search Tool Router

Use the most token-efficient search tool for each query type.

When to Use

Searching for code patterns
Finding where something is implemented
Looking for specific identifiers
Understanding how code works

Decision Tree

Query Type?
├── CODE EXPLORATION (symbols, call chains, data flow)
│   → TLDR Search - 95% token savings
│   DEFAULT FOR ALL CODE SEARCH - use instead of Grep
│   Examples: "spawn_agent", "DataPoller", "redis usage"
│   Command: tldr search "query" .
│
├── STRUCTURAL (AST patterns)
│   → AST-grep (/ast-grep-find) - ~50 tokens output
│   Examples: "def foo", "class Bar", "import X", "@decorator"
│
├── SEMANTIC (conceptual questions)
│   → TLDR Semantic - 5-layer embeddings (P6)
│   Examples: "how does auth work", "find error handling patterns"
│   Command: tldr semantic search "query"
│
├── LITERAL (exact text, regex)
│   → Grep tool - LAST RESORT
│   Only when TLDR/AST-grep don't apply
│   Examples: error messages, config values, non-code text
│
└── FULL CONTEXT (need complete understanding)
    → Read tool - 1500+ tokens
    Last resort after finding the right file

Token Efficiency Comparison

Tool	Output Size	Best For
TLDR	~50-500	DEFAULT: Code symbols, call graphs, data flow
TLDR Semantic	~100-300	Conceptual queries (P6, embedding-based)
AST-grep	~50 tokens	Function/class definitions, imports, decorators
Grep	~200-2000	LAST RESORT: Non-code text, regex
Read	~1500+	Full understanding after finding the file

Examples

bash

# CODE EXPLORATION → TLDR (DEFAULT)
tldr search "spawn_agent" .
tldr search "redis" . --layer call_graph

# STRUCTURAL → AST-grep
/ast-grep-find "async def $FUNC($$$):" --lang python

# SEMANTIC → TLDR Semantic
tldr semantic search "how does authentication work"

# LITERAL → Grep (LAST RESORT - prefer TLDR)
Grep pattern="check_evocation" path=opc/scripts

# FULL CONTEXT → Read (after finding file)
Read file_path=opc/scripts/z3_erotetic.py

Optimal Flow

1. AST-grep: "Find async functions" → 3 file:line matches
2. Read: Top match only → Full understanding
3. Skip: 4 irrelevant files → 6000 tokens saved

/tldr-search - DEFAULT - Code exploration with 95% token savings
/ast-grep-find - Structural code search
/morph-search - Fast text search
