Does LEANN require a separate server?

No, LEANN is designed to build and search local vector indexes based on your project's specific file structure and content.

When should I use grep instead of LEANN?

Use grep for finding specific identifiers, class names, or exact regex patterns. Use LEANN for broad conceptual questions or when you aren't sure of the exact terminology used in the code.

What embedding model does this skill use?

By default, it utilizes the sentence-transformers 'all-MiniLM-L6-v2' model to generate accurate semantic representations of your code.

How does LEANN search differ from grep?

Grep searches for exact text strings or regex patterns, while LEANN uses sentence embeddings to find code that is conceptually similar to your query, even if the specific words don't match.

Developer Tools

Enables meaning-based code exploration using LEANN vector indexing to find conceptually similar code patterns and logic.

LEANN Semantic Search transforms how developers navigate complex codebases by replacing traditional keyword matching with deep conceptual understanding. By leveraging vector embeddings, this skill allows Claude to answer natural language queries like 'how does authentication work' or 'where is the streaming logic,' even when those specific terms aren't used in the code. It is particularly effective for onboarding to new projects, identifying architectural patterns, and finding related implementations across large, multi-language repositories where standard grep searches might fail.
