Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The post announces ColGrep-Agent-2B, a small open agent that runs locally. It works on top of ColGrep, a multivector code search tool. It moves through ColGrep results and reads files to locate things, and it can be added to Claude Code or similar tools as a cheap local search layer.

  2. How it went

    The post gives no benchmarks, timings or cost figures. It only claims the agent finds things faster and more cheaply. The linked Hugging Face blog presumably has the details.

  3. Worth knowing

    The post is a short announcement, so check the linked Hugging Face blog for setup steps and any measured results before copying it.

Example prompts

Try with Claude Code
Set up a local code search tool such as ColGrep for the repository at [path to your project] and connect it to this session so you can use it to find code. Then use it to locate [a function, feature, or behavior you want to find], read the relevant files, and tell me which files and lines are involved and how they fit together. Stop once you have given me that summary, and don't edit any code.
