Semantic Search helps you find the context behind previous agent work without remembering exactly where it happened. It searches indexed Entire history, including checkpoints, sessions, and commits. Use it when you remember the feature, decision, prompt, bug, file, error text, or general idea, but not the exact checkpoint or session.

​
What It Finds

Semantic Search can return:
  • checkpoints that captured agent-assisted changes
  • sessions with prompts, transcripts, tool activity, and metadata
  • commits connected to the captured work
Search combines semantic matching with keyword matching. That means exact phrases can work, but the query can also describe meaning: 
entire search "auth token refresh"
entire search "how did we decide whether a mission is ready to launch?"
SurfaceUse it when
Entire.ioYou want to browse results visually, open checkpoint details, or move between sessions and commits.
Entire CLIYou are already in the terminal and want quick results for the current repo or a repo filter.
search SkillYou want your agent to look up relevant history before it starts or while it is investigating.
Semantic Search works best when:
  • you are authenticated with entire login
  • the repository has pushed checkpoints or sessions
  • Entire has had time to index the latest pushed work
  • your query includes specific feature names, bugs, prompts, files, or decisions
If you want a guided setup, follow Search Past Agent Work. The tutorial creates a small project, adds searchable checkpoints, and walks through phrase, meaning, web, agent, and cross-repo searches.
