When NOT to use osgrep
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- - If your search requirements can be met with simple keyword matching rather than semantic analysis, as osgrep specializes in more complex semantic searches.
- - Your AI project is not using TypeScript or where seamless integration with TypeScript-specific features of osgrep would offer no advantage.
- - You require additional proprietary functionalities that go beyond what the open-source license and community provide.
