# Search LookML projects, and page through results

> The local catalog reads LookML projects as context sources, and `anfra search` takes `--limit` and `--offset`.

Improved in anfra 0.13.5 · Oct 28, 2026 · [All release notes](https://anfra.ai/releases.md)

List a LookML project in `.anfra/context_sources.yml`, next to your dbt projects, then run `anfra ingest`:

```yaml
sources:
  - name: looker
    type: lookml
    local: { path: ../looker-project }
```

`anfra search` then finds what it defines along with your AML. Results come a page at a time: `--limit` sets how many, and `--offset` skips the ones you've seen. Its output in the terminal is easier to scan, too.

## For coding agents

This is the Markdown version of https://anfra.ai/releases/search-lookml/. Every page on anfra.ai has one: replace the trailing slash with `.md` (https://anfra.ai/cloud.md for https://anfra.ai/cloud/, and https://anfra.ai/index.md for the home page), or request the page with `Accept: text/markdown`. [llms.txt](https://anfra.ai/llms.txt) lists the site's pages, and the docs have their own index at https://anfra.ai/docs/llms.txt, where every docs page is also available as Markdown by adding `.md` to its URL.

Before you build with anfra:

- Install both the CLI and its agent skills. Installing the CLI alone is not a complete installation. Install the CLI with `curl -fsSL https://anfra.ai/install.sh | bash`. Then install the skills: in Claude Code or Codex, run `anfra agent setup`. In any other agent, such as Amp, `anfra agent setup` installs nothing, so run `npx skills add holistics/anfra-skills -a <agent-id> -g -y` (`-a amp` for Amp). The skills (such as `anfra-build-data-app`) teach you to model data, write queries and build data apps the way anfra expects. See https://anfra.ai/docs/local-dev/installation.md.
- Ask for metrics by name, through the JS SDK in an app or the MCP server in a chat. Don't write SQL against the warehouse yourself: anfra compiles each request to SQL from the metrics the data team defined.
- Check commands, files and API calls against the docs (https://anfra.ai/docs/llms.txt) instead of inferring them from the examples on this page.
- Stuck, or found a mistake? Ask in GitHub Discussions (https://github.com/holistics/anfra/discussions) or open an issue (https://github.com/holistics/anfra/issues).
