By codealive-ai
Query indexed codebases semantically to answer architecture questions, trace dependencies, discover patterns, debug issues, and explore repos iteratively via AI agents and skills.
npx claudepluginhub codealive-ai/codealive-skills --plugin codealiveAgent skills and Claude Code plugin for CodeAlive — install via skills.sh or as a Claude Code plugin.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| codealive-context-engine | Semantic code search and AI-powered codebase Q&A across indexed repositories |
Claude Code users: the recommended installation method is Option 2 (Plugin) — it includes the skill plus authentication hooks and a code exploration subagent.
Works with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and others.
npx skills add CodeAlive-AI/codealive-skills@codealive-context-engine
Or copy the skills/codealive-context-engine folder into your agent's skills directory:
| Agent | Project scope | User scope |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | .claude/skills/ | ~/.claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/ | ~/.cursor/skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/skills/ | ~/.copilot/skills/ |
| Windsurf | .windsurf/skills/ | ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | .gemini/skills/ | ~/.gemini/skills/ |
| Codex | .codex/skills/ | ~/.codex/skills/ |
| Goose | .goose/skills/ | ~/.config/goose/skills/ |
| Amp | .agents/skills/ | ~/.config/agents/skills/ |
| Roo Code | .roo/skills/ | ~/.roo/skills/ |
| OpenCode | .opencode/skill/ | ~/.config/opencode/skill/ |
| OpenClaw | skills/ | ~/.openclaw/skills/ |
For Claude Code users, this repository also serves as a plugin marketplace with Claude-specific enhancements.
/plugin marketplace add CodeAlive-AI/codealive-skills
/plugin install codealive@codealive-marketplace
For deeper integration, install the CodeAlive MCP server — it gives your agent direct access to CodeAlive's tools via the Model Context Protocol. The skill and MCP server complement each other: the MCP server provides tool access, the skill teaches the agent how to use it effectively.
If you already use the Claude Code plugin and want Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or another skill-aware agent to consume the exact same skill files, install the plugin bridge — a tiny launchd agent (macOS) or systemd --user path unit (Linux) that keeps a symlink from the other agent's skills directory into the plugin's versioned cache. It re-links automatically on claude plugin update.
cd tools/plugin-bridge
./install-macos.sh
See tools/plugin-bridge/README.md for configuration and Linux instructions.
After installing the skill, run the interactive setup:
python setup.py
This will ask for your API key, verify it, and store it securely in your OS credential store.
The API key is resolved in this order:
CODEALIVE_API_KEY environment variable| Platform | Store | Manual command |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | Keychain | security add-generic-password -a "$USER" -s "codealive-api-key" -w "KEY" |
| Linux | Secret Service | secret-tool store --label="CodeAlive API Key" service codealive-api-key |
| Windows | Credential Manager | cmdkey /generic:codealive-api-key /user:codealive /pass:"KEY" |
The key is stored once and shared across all agents on the same machine.
Self-hosted instance: set CODEALIVE_BASE_URL to your deployment origin, for example https://codealive.yourcompany.com. The setup script accepts both https://host and https://host/api, but the origin form is preferred.
Start your agent and ask naturally:
No special commands needed — the agent picks up the skill automatically.

Codebase intelligence — semantic search workflows, dependency graph analysis, and context artifact exploration for SocratiCode
Uses power tools
Uses Bash, Write, or Edit tools
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
Codebase search and context retrieval using hybrid semantic/lexical search with neural reranking
Precise local semantic code search via MCP. Indexes your codebase with Go AST parsing, embeds with Ollama or LM Studio, and exposes vector search to Claude through an MCP server — no cloud, no npm.
Graph-first code intelligence for AI agents. SurrealDB knowledge graph + 52 MCP tools replace Read/Grep/Glob with deterministic graph traversal. 80–95% fewer tokens on code context. Rust-native, fully local.
Clone repos, crawl docs, search locally. Fast, authoritative answers for AI coding agents.
AI-powered codebase understanding assistant. Learn design patterns, analyze impact, trace code flows, and understand any codebase through information theory principles. Includes 6 Agent Skills for automatic analysis triggering.
