How much faster is ast-index than standard search tools?

ast-index is typically 17-69x faster than grep or ripgrep, returning results in 1-10ms for indexed symbols compared to several seconds in large projects.

Do I need to install anything locally to use this skill?

Yes, you must install the ast-index CLI via Homebrew and run 'ast-index rebuild' in your project root to initialize the search index.

Which programming languages does this skill support?

It supports a wide range of languages including Kotlin, Java, Swift, Objective-C, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, Ruby, C#, Perl, Python, Go, C++, and Protocol Buffers.

When should I use grep instead of ast-index?

Use grep only when ast-index returns no results, or when you specifically need to search using regex, look inside string literals, or search within code comments.

How do I keep the search index updated?

You can run 'ast-index update' for incremental updates as you code, or 'ast-index rebuild' after significant changes to the project structure.

개발자 도구

Perform lightning-fast structural code searches across multiple languages and platforms using an indexed AST approach.

소개

This skill integrates the ast-index CLI tool into Claude, enabling high-performance code navigation and analysis that is significantly faster than standard grep-based tools. It allows developers to instantly find class definitions, symbol usages, implementations, and call hierarchies across a wide range of platforms including Android, iOS, Web, and backend environments. By leveraging a local SQLite FTS5 index, it provides structured and accurate results for complex refactoring and codebase exploration tasks with millisecond latency, making it the primary search tool for any supported project.
