Compare
Cosmos vs grep.
grep is excellent for raw text search. Cosmos adds project structure, saved lessons, and scoped MCP tools for AI assistants.
What grep does better
grep is simple, fast, universal, and perfect when you know the exact text you want. Cosmos should never pretend otherwise.
What Cosmos adds
- Project lessons and previous fixes that raw search cannot infer.
- Symbol-aware and project-aware context where parsers support it.
- MCP tools that return bounded context instead of making the AI scan broadly.
