What it does

Use sgrep for semantic and hybrid search across code and agent conversations. It understands intent, not just exact strings.

When your AI uses it

Use when exploring unfamiliar codebases, finding code by concept instead of exact text, or recalling past agent conversations about similar…

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • Includes 159 scripts

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: bench/jev/coderank_benchmark.py, bench/jev/jev.go, bench/jev/lateon_benchmark.py, bench/jev/main.go….

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • Deletes your home folder or the whole drive

    Run carelessly — or by an agent working unattended — this can delete work that cannot be recovered.

    How we know

    scripts/context_sweep.sh line 16: “rm -rf "$home"”. Read 2026-10-04, commit d3776bc.

    scripts/context_sweep.sh, line 16 ↗
  • Its code sends data over the internet

    A script in it uploads or posts data. That is normal for a skill that talks to a service — check that the address is the service you expect.

    How we know

    bench/jev/coderank_benchmark.py line 133 (and 1 more in that file): “request = urllib.request.Request(endpoint + "/v1/rerank", data=body, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})”. Read 2026-10-04, commit d3776bc.

    bench/jev/coderank_benchmark.py, line 133 ↗
  • Asks for administrator rights

    Some of its commands use sudo or "run as administrator". Those can change anything on your computer.

    How we know

    Seen in its code. Read 2026-10-04, commit d3776bc.

  • 7 smaller things worth knowing

    Takes instructions from a web page that can change at any time; Downloads a script and runs it in one step, unread; Contains commands that delete or overwrite. Usually legitimate — listed so nothing is hidden.

  • Partly checked

    Launch7’s check could not read everything in this skill: 1 file too large to read. Nothing is known about the parts it skipped.

    How we know

    239 text files read; skipped files are listed by name only. Read 2026-10-04, commit d3776bc.

  • Recently maintained

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to XiaoConstantine/sgrep: 2026-09-19 (15 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 4 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 159 scripts beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.
