Context Mode Index
Index local project content for later search.
Instructions
1. Prefer the `ctx_index` MCP tool when it is available. 2. Ask for a path only if the user did not provide one and the current project root is ambiguous. 3. Use `path`, not large inline `content`, so file bytes do not enter the conversation. 4. For repository indexing, pass conservative bounds and a clear source label:
ctx_index({
path: ".",
source: "project:<name>",
maxDepth: 5,
maxFiles: 200
})5. If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI:
context-mode index . --source project:<name>
6. Report the indexed source label, file count or section count, and the matching search command:
ctx_search({ source: "project:<name>", queries: ["..."] })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.
