ck: Semantic Code Search Redefined
2025-09-07
ck is a powerful code search tool that goes beyond traditional grep by understanding the semantics of code. Describe what you're looking for in natural language (e.g., "error handling"), and ck will find relevant code, including try/catch blocks, error returns, and exception handling, even if those exact words aren't present. It offers keyword-based, semantic-based, and hybrid search modes, producing structured JSON output ideal for code analysis, documentation generation, and automated refactoring. Maintaining grep's familiar command-line interface and behavior while adding semantic intelligence, ck is perfect for developers, AI agents, and teams.
