The article critiques Claude Code's reliance on grep-only search methods for code retrieval, arguing that this approach leads to inefficiencies like token bloat and lack of context. It advocates for vector search-powered retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) as a superior alternative, highlighting the benefits of better accuracy and reduced token usage. The author also introduces an open-source project, Claude Context, designed to enhance semantic code search capabilities for AI coding assistants.
