Does Redex re-index the entire project every time?

No, Redex only re-analyzes folders that have been added or modified, which significantly reduces processing time compared to a full re-index.

How often should I run the /redex command?

You should run /redex after any significant file changes, though the plugin will often automatically suggest an update if it detects your index is stale.

What happens to the index if I delete a folder?

Redex automatically detects deleted directories and removes their corresponding entries from the index.toon file during the update process.

Can I see the updates before they are applied?

Yes, Redex provides a detailed diff view showing the old summary versus the new summary and requires user confirmation before updating the index files.

How does Redex know what changed in my code?

Redex identifies changes by running git diff commands between the current HEAD and the commit where the index.toon file was last modified.

开发者工具

Updates existing semantic search indexes by detecting and re-analyzing modified, new, or deleted folders in your repository.

Redex is a maintenance tool for the Toon-Dex plugin that keeps Claude Code's project context fresh. By leveraging Git history to identify changes since the last indexing event, it selectively re-analyzes only the affected directories to generate new behavioral summaries. This ensures Claude provides accurate, context-aware assistance even as the codebase undergoes significant refactoring or expansion, without the need for a full repository re-scan.
