travsr synonym
Manage query-time synonym pairs. Synonyms expand search terms at query time, if payment maps to billing and invoice, then searching for any of the three will match nodes tagged with all three.

How synonyms affect search
Synonyms expand at query time in both the CLI (travsr ask) and all MCP tools (get_context, search_symbol). A query for billing will also match nodes whose names or signatures contain payment or invoice, and vice versa.
Synonyms are stored in .travsr/synonyms.toml in the repository root. They are per-repo.
VS Code
The Synonyms panel in the VS Code sidebar lets you manage synonym pairs visually without touching the CLI. See Synonyms Panel.
