ctx-index

# Context Mode Index Index local project content for later search. ## Instructions 1. Prefer the `ctx_index` MCP tool when it is available. 2. Ask for a path only if the user did not provide one and the current project root is ambiguous. 3. Use `path`, not large inline `content`, so file bytes do not enter the conversation. 4. For repository indexing, pass conservative bounds and a clear source label: ```javascript ctx_index({ path: ".", source: "project:<name>", maxDepth: 5, maxFiles: 200 }) ``` 5. If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI: ```bash context-mode index . --source project:<name> ``` 6. Report the indexed source label, file count or section count, and the matching search command: ```javascript ctx_search({ source: "project:<name>", queries: ["..."] }) ``` ## Safety - Do not index dependency directories, build outputs, secrets, or generated artifacts. - Prefer `--exclude` or `exclude` for project-specific noisy paths. - For broad repos, ask the user before raising `maxFiles` above 500.
