Description
Query the symbol index (from cora index) with structural and semantic search.
cora explore "how does auth work" # semantic search across index
cora explore "AuthService.validate" # exact symbol lookup
cora explore --file src/auth.rs # explore single file context
Should return:
- Relevant symbols with source context (name, file, line, signature)
- Call paths showing how symbols connect
- Blast radius — what depends on the result
Why
Primary query interface for code intelligence. The command agents and developers use 90% of the time. Inspired by CodeGraph's codegraph explore but with Uteke semantic recall layered on top — a combination no competitor offers.
Scope
- Query parser (natural language → structured query)
- SQLite FTS5 full-text search on symbol names/signatures
- Uteke semantic recall for context (optional, via
--memory flag)
- Terminal table + JSON output formatting
