# ix ⚡
> Lightning-fast, safety-aware code search and indexing tool.
[]()
## See It In Action
```bash
$ ix search "fn validate"
src/llmosafe_kernel.rs:42: pub fn validate(&self) -> Result<(), KernelError>
```
## Quick Start
```bash
# Install
cargo install --path .
# Index current directory
ix index .
# Search
ix search "Mycelial Sensing"
```
## The Contract
`ix` provides two binaries:
- `ix`: The CLI search tool.
- `ixd`: The background daemon for continuous indexing.
Both are integrated with the LLMOSafe v0.4.2 Immune Substrate for proactive metabolic pacing and capability-aware execution.
## The Engine
`ix` uses a highly optimized trigram index and sparse tables. It relies on `llmosafe` for recursive filesystem traversal safety (`CAP_ROOT` checks) and back-pressure handling (Error -7).
## Context
Built for the era of AI agents where search must be both fast and system-aware.
