Feedback:
codex-cli hangs when calling this through the MCP. The semble process even sticks around as a zombie, forever stalled out. No idea why, logs have nothing.
When called through a skill via CLI style calling, GPT 5.5 loves to give a ton of search terms like it is used to doing with ripgrep. Not sure how effective this is, the short docs in the github and the instructions the agent has isn't clear on what is optimal.
Lastly, I got some errors with external connections to github when I was installing it for bash use. Maybe its related to the hanging? No idea.
edit: My agent also loves to follow-on with ripgrep, which seems redundant. Acts like it has trust issues. I think a more extensive agent skill description could guide the agent into proper use.
Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback. For the bug, would you mind opening an issue with your setup details? This is definitely something we want to investigate and fix. The multiple queries thing is really good feedback, thanks for that, we'll update the prompt/instructions to prevent this from happening and we'll try to add some tests for this. The external connection errors during install are uv fetching deps from PyPI I think, those should not be the reason it's hanging.
