## Quick Start

```bash
# Install and run setup wizard
cargo install manx-cli
manx init  # Interactive setup wizard

# Existing users
manx update

# Find code snippets instantly
manx snippet react "useState hook"
manx snippet python "async functions"

# Search documentation and crawl sites
manx search "rust error handling"
manx doc fastapi "middleware"
manx index https://docs.rs/ --crawl
```

Works immediately with no setup required. Enhanced features available through the `manx init` wizard.

## What is Manx?

Manx helps developers find answers fast with four modes:

| Mode | Setup | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| **Default** | None | Official docs + keyword search (works instantly) |
| **Enhanced** | Download neural model | Neural search + semantic understanding |
| **RAG** | Index docs and sites | Search your private documentation |
| **AI** | Add API key | Full synthesis with explanations + citations |

### Progressive Enhancement
Start simple -> Add semantic search -> Index your docs -> Enable AI

## Core Features

### Code Snippet Search
```bash
manx snippet react "custom hooks"
manx snippet python "decorators"
manx snippet rust "error handling"
```
Retrieves code examples with explanations from official documentation.

### Documentation Search
```bash
manx search "authentication best practices"
manx doc fastapi "dependency injection"
```
Searches official documentation across frameworks and languages.

### Personal Knowledge Base
```bash
# Index local documentation or crawl websites
manx index ~/dev-notes/
manx index https://docs.python.org --crawl-depth 2
manx index https://react.dev --crawl-all

# Search with semantic understanding
manx search "team coding standards" --rag
```
Index local files or crawl documentation sites for private search.

### AI-Powered Analysis (Optional)
```bash
manx init  # Setup wizard includes AI configuration
manx snippet react hooks  # Includes AI explanations when configured
```
Provides comprehensive answers with code examples, explanations, and citations.

## Acknowledgments

Thanks to the open source community and projects that make Manx possible:
- [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com) - For Claude and Claude Code IDE
- [Context7](https://context7.com/) - For providing the documentation API
- [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co) - For neural embedding models
- [ONNX Runtime](https://onnxruntime.ai) - For local neural inference
- [Rust Community](https://rust-lang.org) - For the ecosystem and libraries

## Built with AI

Built using [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)

I'm not a programmer - just a cybersecurity student learning the basics and building tools for my own use under [prowl.sh](https://prowl.sh). If people find these tools useful, I'm more than happy to continue working on them and improving the experience!

## Roadmap

### GitHub Repository Search
Future enhancement to search directly within GitHub repositories for code examples and implementation patterns:

- GitHub Access: Search repositories, issues, and discussions from the CLI
- Code Search: Look through repo code with optional embeddings for context
- Issue Tracking: Pull in issues and make them easier to reference alongside other results
- Docs Indexing: Treat READMEs and repo docs as part of the searchable database
- Extra Context: Optional LLM summarization and clarification

Example: `manx search "Tauri tables"` would search official docs AND `tauri-apps/tauri` repo for implementations.
