# OpenCLI Agent Pack: ripgrep

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `rg`.

## What this CLI is for
Code search, fast grep, and agent codebase scans from the terminal. Built by BurntSushi.

Best for: code search, fast grep, and agent codebase scans from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (50/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.

## Install
```sh
brew install ripgrep
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
rg --version
```
Expected signal: ripgrep responds and can search local files.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
rg --version
```

```sh
rg TODO src
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use ripgrep (`rg`) for code search, fast grep, and agent codebase scans from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
