Local code/text search returning file and line anchors. mode:"structural" runs Octocode AST shape queries (pattern or rule).

localViewStructure

Browse a local directory tree: depth, filters, pagination, metadata.

lspGetSemantics

Typed semantic navigation: definition, references, callers, callees, callHierarchy, hover, documentSymbols, typeDefinition, implementation, workspaceSymbol, supertypes, subtypes, and diagnostic. From the CLI, invoke it directly: npx octocode tools lspGetSemantics --queries '<json>'. Navigation runs
