- Function
- Structural codebase indexer with 17 query tools. 87% token reduction. Zero dependencies.
- Available Tools
- By default, AI assistants will ignore the indexed tools and fall back to reading entire files with Glob/Grep/Read. Soft language like "prefer" gets rationalized away. Add this to your project's CLAUDE.md (or equivalent instructions file) with mandatory language:
