The article explores whether combining a command-line agent (like Claude Code or Gemini CLI) with Unix-like file system tools and SemTools is sufficient for complex tasks, particularly document search. It details a benchmark testing the limits of coding agents with and without SemTools, focusing on search, cross-referencing, and temporal analysis. The conclusion is that CLI access is powerful and SemTools enhances agent capabilities for document search and RAG.
