AI-generated overview

Indexes local files or directories into a persistent FTS5 knowledge base so later searches return focused snippets.

What it does: This skill indexes local project content into context-mode's persistent FTS5 knowledge base so future ctx_search calls can retrieve focused snippets without rereading raw files. It prefers the ctx_index MCP tool, falling back to a context-mode CLI command, and reports the indexed source label, file or section count, and the matching search command. It advises passing a path rather than large inline content, and using conservative bounds and exclusions for repository indexing.
When to use it: Use it when you want local files or a project directory made searchable for later retrieval instead of rereading raw files. It fits repository indexing where a source label, depth and file limits should be set, and where noisy paths, dependencies, build outputs or secrets should be excluded.
Requirements: Requires the ctx_index MCP tool or, as a fallback, the context-mode CLI. It ships no scripts and is instructions only.

Context Mode Index

Index local project content for later search.

Instructions

Prefer the ctx_index MCP tool when it is available.
Ask for a path only if the user did not provide one and the current project root is ambiguous.
Use path, not large inline content, so file bytes do not enter the conversation.
For repository indexing, pass conservative bounds and a clear source label:

If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI:

Report the indexed source label, file count or section count, and the matching search command:

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.
