This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.6-flash on 10/2/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 4 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
A search script returned an error stating 'API key not configured'. Provide the standard interactive setup command to configure authentication.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Semantic code intelligence across your entire code ecosystem — current project, organizational repos, dependencies, and any indexed codebase.
All scripts require a CodeAlive API key. If any script fails with "API key not configured", help the user set it up:
Option 1 (recommended): Run the interactive setup and wait for the user to complete it:
python setup.py
Option 2 (not recommended — key visible in chat history): If the user pastes their API key directly in chat, save it via:
python setup.py --key THE_KEY
Do NOT retry the failed script until setup completes successfully.
| Tool | Script | Speed | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| List Data Sources | datasources.py | Instant | Free | Discovering indexed repos and workspaces. With --query "task", runs an AI relevance filter (low cost, not instant) returning only the relevant sources |
| Semantic Search | search.py | Fast | Low | Default discovery — finds code by meaning (concepts, behavior, architecture) |
| Grep Search | grep.py | Fast | Low | Finds code containing a specific string or regex (identifiers, literals, patterns) |
| Repository Ontology | ontology.py | Fast | Low | High-level orientation for exactly one repository |
| File Tree | tree.py | Fast | Free | Bounded repository tree inspection |
| Read File | read_file.py | Fast | Free | Read one repository-relative file path, optionally with a line range |
