vexor-cli
Semantic file discovery via `vexor`. Use whenever locating where something is implemented/loaded/defined in a medium or large repo, or when the file location is unclear. Prefer this over manual browsing.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Vexor CLI Skill ## When to Use - You need to locate files by intent rather than exact filename or text match. - The repository is large enough that manual browsing or naive grep is too slow or ambiguous. - You want semantic discovery of where something is implemented, loaded, defined, or documented. ## Goal Find files by intent (what they do), not exact text. ## Use It Like This - Use `vexor` first for intent-based file discovery. - If `vexor` is missing, follow references/install-vexor.md. ## Command ```bash vexor "<QUERY>" [--path <ROOT>] [--mode <MODE>] [--ext .py,.md] [--exclude-pattern <PATTERN>] [--top 5] [--format rich|porcelain|porcelain-z] ``` ## Common Flags - `--path/-p`: root directory (default: current dir) - `--mode/-m`: indexing/search strategy - `--ext/-e`: limit file extensions (e.g., `.py,.md`) - `--exclude-pattern`: exclude paths by gitignore-style pattern (repeatable; `.js` → `**/*.js`) - `--top/-k`: number of results - `--include-hidden`: include dotfiles - `--no-respect-gitignore`: include ignored files - `--no-recursive`: only the top directory - `--format`: `rich` (default) or `porcelain`/`porcelain-z` for scripts - `--no-cache`: in-memory only, do not rea

What does the vexor-cli skill do?
Semantic file discovery via `vexor`. Use whenever locating where something is implemented/loaded/defined in a medium or large repo, or when the file location is unclear. Prefer this over manual browsing.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill vexor-cli --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
