This skill provides tips and best practices for writing effective semantic search queries. Think differently from text search: ❌ Bad: getUserById ✅ Good: fetch user record from database using ID ❌ Bad: handleError ✅ Good: error handling and response to client ❌ Bad: validateInput ✅ Good: check if user input is valid and safe ❌ Bad: auth ✅ Good: user authentication and authorization ❌ Bad: db ✅ Good: database connection and queries ❌ Bad: config ✅ Good: application configuration loading ❌ Bad: validation ✅ Good: validate email address format ❌ Bad: parse ✅ Good: parse JSON request body ❌ Bad: send ✅ Good: send email notification to user Embedding models are trained primarily on English: ❌ authentification utilisateur (French) ✅ user authentication Even if your code comments are in another language, English queries work best. If results aren't good, iterate: Semantic search understands synonyms. Try different phrasings: Use your domain vocabulary: Natural questions work well: If you know the exact name, use grep: GrepAI is for when you don't know the exact name: Strong match. The code likely does what you described. Related code. May be what you want, or adjacent functionality. Loosely related.
