What does ast-index do?โ–ผ

It builds a local SQLite index of symbols, references, and dependencies in your codebase, then answers structural queries like finding classes, usages, and callers in milliseconds.

Which programming languages does ast-index support?โ–ผ

It supports over 30 languages including Kotlin, Java, Swift, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, Python, Go, C#, PHP, Ruby, and Dart, with automatic project type detection.

Does ast-index work with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex?โ–ผ

Yes. It ships as a plugin and skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI, teaching agents to use structural search instead of slow text grep.

How is ast-index faster than grep?โ–ผ

Because it queries a pre-built index instead of scanning files, most searches return in 1-10ms versus 200ms or more for grep, often 10-100x faster.
