verdict search

Source command definition

Find installed commands for a task without connecting to a server. Return up to five matches by default; use —limit to request more. Results include unavailable commands and their reasons. No matches returns an empty list and exits successfully.

Runs locally. Effects: none declared.

Arguments and flags

Argument	Type	Required	Default	Description
<query>	positional	yes	No parser default	Search intent; quote phrases containing spaces
--limit	string	no	5	Maximum matches, a positive integer (default: 5)
--json	boolean	no	false	Output as JSON

--help (-h) shows command help without executing the command. Boolean flags support --no-<flag>. Defaults stated in descriptions may be resolved by the handler or configuration rather than the argument parser.

By default, the command renders human-readable records. --json writes one JSON result to stdout. Operational failures use status 1; JSON failures contain an error object with code and message. See shared output semantics.

Exit status

• 0: the command completed its operation.

Argument, I/O, and other failures handled by the CLI runner use status 1.
