# Semantic discovery with vaultspec-rag
vaultspec-rag finds things by MEANING. When you need to locate where or how something is done
and do not already know the exact symbol, lead with a semantic search rather than a keyword
sweep: keyword search only finds the words you already guessed, while semantic search finds the
concept even when the code names it differently. The project's own discovery benchmarking is
the basis for leading with it - a semantic-led hybrid sweep reaches the right file in about one
call at roughly 1.3-2x less context than a broad grep or glob on a large tree, and recalls the
governing decision with almost no noise.
Treat vaultspec-rag as a discovery instrument and grep as the exact-symbol confirmer: a search
lands you on the right surface, grep pins the precise line. Never conclude "there is no such
site" from a search alone - confirm with grep.
## The method: locate by meaning, read, confirm
1. **Locate by meaning.** Run a semantic search to reach the epicenter file (code) or the
governing record (a decision). One tight query gets you there.
1. **Read the epicenter whole.** Open the top file (or the nearest existing analogue) in full.
This whole-file read is the step that actually grounds you.
1. **Confirm with grep.** Pin the exact symbol, call site, or insertion point with a targeted
grep, which is sharper than semantic search at exact-name lookup.
## Two corpora: code and decisions
