semgrepll - Local Semantic Code Search
Local semantic grep using embeddings - 100% offline capable.
Features
- Multi-backend support: llama.cpp, ONNX, Ollama
- Auto-detection: Automatically picks fastest available local backend
- Hybrid storage: SQLite (small projects) or LanceDB (large)
- 100% offline: No external connections
- Embedding caching: Fast re-indexing
- Semantic search: Find code by meaning, not just keywords
Backends (priority order)
| Rank | Backend | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | llama.cpp | ~1s | Fastest - requires GGUF model |
| 2 | ONNX | ~3s | Local - uses HF model files |
| 3 | Ollama | ~6s | Local server fallback |
Installation
pip install semgrepll
# Optional: ONNX backend support
pip install semgrepll[onnx]
Usage
# Index a project (auto-detects backend)
semgrep index /path/to/project
# Search semantically
semgrep search "authentication logic"
# List indexed projects
semgrep ls
