name: oma-search
description: Find external documentation, web sources, or remote code with
  citations. Local code navigation uses the configured code tools.

Search Router

Scheduling

Goal

Route an information request to the appropriate channel and return relevant sources with trust labels.

Intent signature

• Search, find, look up, reference docs, inspect official APIs, or search remote code.
• Another skill requests docs, web, code, or local search with a query and constraints.

When to use

• Library documentation, web research, GitHub/GitLab implementation patterns, or unclear search channels.

When NOT to use

• Pure local code exploration -> use configured code intelligence under the shared contract.
• Git history/blame -> `oma-scm`; architecture analysis -> `oma-architecture`.

Expected inputs

Query, optional route hint (`docs`, `web`, `code`, `local`), source/recency constraints, and flags. Explicit `--docs`, `--code`, or `--web` selects the route; `--strict` filters trust, `--wide` retains labeled results, and `--gitlab` selects the remote code host.

Expected outputs

Ranked sources with URL or file reference, route, relevance, trust level/score, and material fallback limits. Do not invent sources when no reliable result is found.

Dependencies

Context7 for docs, runtime web search, `oma search`/`gh`/`glab` for remote code, and configured code intelligence or native local search.

Structural Flow

Routes

| Route | Primary | Fallback | Use for | |---|---|---|---| | `docs` | Context7 `resolve-library-id` → `query-docs` | Web search | Official API/framework documentation | | `web` | Runtime web search | `oma search fetch <url>` for known result URLs | Web sources | | `code` | `oma search code` | Report unavailable host/auth | Remote repository patterns | | `local` | Configured code-intelligence provider | Native search and scoped reads | Current project files and symbols |

Failure and recovery

• Missing/empty documentation lookup: use web search and state the fallback.
• A known URL cannot be fetched: use the fetch strategies in the route reference; retain authentication/blocking errors if all strategies fail.
• Configured local tools unavailable or timed out: follow `../_shared/core/code-intelligence.md`.
• Unknown trust: retain the result as `unknown` with score `—`; do not imply verification.
• No result satisfies `--strict`: report that outcome and offer a wider or narrower query.

Exit

Return evidence-backed results and disclose failed routes or source limitations. A domain score alone does not verify an individual claim.

Logical Operations

Canonical workflow path

1. Parse the query and explicit flags. Use `resources/intent-rules.md` only when classification is needed; select one route unless ambiguity requires more. 2. Dispatch using Routes. Load `resources/execution-protocol.md` for the selected channel's command flags, fetch strategies, or normalization details. 3. Collect source references and deduplicate by URL. For non-local results, resolve domain trust using `resources/trust-registry.md`; reuse the current session cache. Apply `--strict` after scoring. 4. Rank by relevance, using trust as a tiebreaker. Return the requested answer or source list with supporting references and fallback limitations.

CLI entry points

oma search code "<query>" [--host gitlab] [--language <lang>] [--repo <owner/repo>]
oma search trust <domain>
oma search fetch <url>

The CLI also exposes `api`, `api:search`, `meta`, `rss`, `rss:google`, `media`, `archive`, and `doctor`; use a primitive only when the selected route needs it.

Guardrails

• Explicit route/source constraints take precedence over automatic classification.
• Score at domain level, not URL-path or page level. Use the CLI registry and the documented Context7/official-site exceptions; do not invent scores.
• Do not duplicate successful routes or search locally via the web.
• Use available runtime web tools and the configured local provider; do not install or track a repository automatically.

Resource scope and effects

Search may contact external services or inspect local code and spawn `gh`/`glab` processes. Query constraints, selected sources, and trust metadata are session context; persistent caches belong in generated state, not skill definitions.
