klim tool search

Search the tool marketplace by name, description, category, tags, or GitHub topics. Results are ranked by relevance and GitHub stars.

Usage

klim tool search <query> [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short	Description
--category	-c	Filter by category
--limit	-n	Max results to show (default: 15)

How Matching Works

The search engine scores each tool against your query by matching:

Field	Weight	Example
Exact name match	Highest	klim tool search jq → exact hit
Partial name match	High	klim tool search kube → kubectl, kubectx
Category	Medium	klim tool search cloud → Cloud tools
Tags	Medium	klim tool search encryption → age, sops
GitHub topics	Medium	klim tool search ci → act, gh
Description	Low	klim tool search "json processor" → jq, yq

Results are then boosted by GitHub star count for popular tools.

Examples

# Find JSON tools
klim tool search json

# Multi-word search
klim tool search "kubernetes dashboard"

# Filter by category
klim tool search cli --category Security

# Limit results
klim tool search cloud -n 5

TUI

The TUI search (press / on any tab) uses the same search engine. It matches against descriptions and GitHub topics in addition to names, categories, and tags.
