Isn't Claude Code's selling point that it doesn't use embeddings?

I don’t think that “Claude Code” is relevant to this semantic grep tool.

bear in mind that Claude Code by default uses grep - if you watch you'll see if it's looking for something it doesn't know the name of, it flails around with different patterns. Try this tool, tell CC to take a look using ck --help and take it for a spin.

CC in my case likes it so much, it started using it to debug the repo rather than grep and suggesting its own additions

Note that it’s grep AND semantic - so Claude can start with a grep strategy and if it finds nothing can switch to semantic, and since it’s local and fast, it keeps in sync easily enough
