Lumen Reindex
Refresh or rebuild the bundled Lumen index for the current project.
Steps
1. Call the Lumen `index_status` tool for the current working directory so you can report the current state before making changes. 2. If the user wants the index refreshed or seeded, call the Lumen `semantic_search` tool with a broad natural-language query and set `path` or `cwd` to the current working directory. The search tool refreshes stale or missing indexes automatically. 3. If the user explicitly asks for a clean rebuild, explain the options and run one via the shell:
- `lumen index --force .` — rebuilds only the current project's index from
scratch. Prefer this.
- `lumen clean --days 0 && lumen index .` — deletes every eligible cached
index except those protected by active locks, then rebuilds. Use only when the user asks for a full wipe.
- `lumen clean` — removes indexes for projects that no longer exist or have
not been used in 30 days. Use to reclaim disk space, not to rebuild the current project. 4. After the refresh or rebuild, report the new index status.
