Openviking

This connects Claude to OpenViking's semantic code search engine, letting you query indexed repositories by concept rather than just grepping for keywords. It's built for navigating unfamiliar codebases or large dependency trees without reading everything linearly. The skill knows to narrow scope aggressively (search specific subdirectories, not entire repos) and distinguishes between semantic search, exact keyword matching, and file globbing. You can also manage repos directly through it. The main thing to know is that it runs actual shell commands through bash, so it expects OpenViking already installed and either auto-starts the server or tells you to configure it. Works best when you need to understand how something works across a large codebase rather than finding where a specific function lives.
