Why use a project index instead of letting Claude scan files manually?

Scanning a large codebase manually is slow and consumes significant tokens; a project index provides Claude with instant, high-level context of your entire project layout.

Does this skill work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Yes, it includes both Node.js and Python scripts specifically designed for cross-platform compatibility and reliability.

Where is the generated index file stored?

The skill defaults to creating or updating a file at 'docs/structure.md' within your project's root directory.

Can I exclude specific folders like node_modules?

Yes, the built-in scripts automatically ignore common directories like .git and node_modules, and support customizable ignore patterns.

How often should I update the project structure index?

It is best practice to refresh the index when starting a new project, after adding major features, or following any significant directory restructuring.

Generates and maintains a comprehensive project structure index to optimize AI context loading and codebase navigation.

소개

The Project Index skill automates the creation of a centralized 'docs/structure.md' file, acting as a single source of truth for Claude to understand your codebase's layout. By identifying entry points, configuration files, and feature maps, it eliminates the need for exhaustive manual file scanning, leading to faster response times and more accurate context. It includes cross-platform scripts in Node.js and Python to ensure seamless integration into any development workflow, making it essential for managing large or complex repositories.
