# Code Search
## When To Use
- Finding existing implementations or libraries on GitHub
- Part of a `/tome:research` session or standalone search
## When NOT To Use
- Searching local codebase (use Grep or Explore agent)
- Academic literature (use `/tome:papers`)
Search GitHub for implementations of a given topic.
## Usage
Invoked as part of `/tome:research` or standalone.
## Workflow
1. Build search queries using
`tome.channels.github.build_github_search_queries()`
2. Execute queries via WebSearch
3. Parse results via `parse_github_result()`
4. Optionally use GitHub API via
`build_github_api_search()` for richer metadata
5. Rank via `rank_github_findings()`
6. Return Finding objects
don't have the plugin yet? install it then click "run inline in claude" again.
