What it does
Searching Text is an agent skill from SebastienDegodez/copilot-instructions. Use when searching for text patterns across files, finding specific code locations, or getting lines with surrounding context in a single call
Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `reference/ripgrep-guide.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: A comprehensive codebase of best practices, coding rules, and workflow automation for AI-assisted development with GitHub Copilot. Includes DDD, Clean Architecture, testing… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Searching for text patterns across files
- Finding specific code locations
- Getting lines with surrounding context in a single call
Example prompts
- “/searching-text”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f0dccf. 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:
rg
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
Searching Text loads about 892 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 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.

- Use when searching for text patterns across files, finding specific code locations, or getting lines with surrounding context in a single call
ripgrep: Powerful, one-shot text search
Always invoke searching-text skill for text search - do not execute bash commands directly.
Default Strategy
Invoke searching-text skill for fast text search with one-shot patterns. Use -e 'pattern' -n -C 2 to get files, line numbers, and context in a single call.
This minimizes iterations and context usage. Always prefer getting line numbers and surrounding context over multiple search attempts.
Common workflow: searching-text skill → other skills (fuzzy-selecting, viewing-files, replacing-text, analyzing-code-structure) for interactive selection, preview, or modification.
Tool Selection
Grep tool (built on ripgrep) - Use for structured searches:
- Basic pattern matching with structured output
- File type filtering with
typeparameter - When special flags like
-F,-v,-w, or pipe composition are not needed - Handles 95% of search needs
Bash(rg) - Use for one-shot searches needing special flags or composition:
- Fixed string search (
-F) - Invert match (
-v) - Word boundaries (
-w) - Context lines with patterns (
-n -C 2) - Pipe composition (
| head,| wc -l,| sort) - Default choice for efficient one-shot results
Glob tool - Use for file name/path matching only (not content search)
When to Load Detailed Reference
Load ripgrep guide when needing:
- One-shot search pattern templates
- Effective flag combinations for complex searches
- Pipe composition patterns
- File type filters reference (
-tflags) - Performance optimization for large result sets
- Pattern syntax examples
- Translation between Grep tool and rg commands
The guide focuses on practical patterns for getting targeted results in minimal calls.

Pipeline Combinations
- searching-text | fuzzy-selecting: Interactive selection from search results
- searching-text | replacing-text: Batch replacements on search results
- searching-text | xargs: Execute commands on matched files
Skill Combinations
For Discovery Phase
- finding-files → searching-text: Find files of specific type, then search within them
- extracting-code-structure → searching-text: Understand structure, then search for specific patterns
- querying-json/querying-yaml → searching-text: Extract field values, then search for their usage
For Analysis Phase
- searching-text → fuzzy-selecting: Interactive selection from search matches
- searching-text → viewing-files: View matched files with syntax highlighting
- searching-text → analyzing-code-structure: After finding text patterns, apply structural changes
For Refactoring Phase
- searching-text → replacing-text: Replace found patterns with new content
- searching-text → xargs: Execute commands on all matching files
- searching-text → analyzing-code: Get statistics for files containing specific patterns
- searching-text → analyzing-code-structure: After finding text patterns, apply structural changes
Integration Examples
# Find and edit all references to a function
rg "functionName" -l | fzf --multi --preview="bat --color=always --highlight-line $(rg -n "functionName" {} | head -1 | cut -d: -f2) {}" | xargs vim
# Find TODOs and create summary
rg "TODO|FIXME" -n | fzf --multi --preview="bat --color=always --highlight-line {2} {1}"© SebastienDegodez, Apache-2.0. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file
