FAQPage Schema
How do I navigate a large codebase to understand directory layout and imports?▼

To navigate a large codebase, you can use a single-file structural digest that maps directory layout, declarations, and import relationships. This index speeds up exploration by providing a whole-repo overview for locating symbols and planning targeted reads.

What is the best way to plan code reading order across a complex repository?▼

The best way to plan code reading order is by referencing a centralized structural index. By reviewing cross-file relationships and imports in a single digest, you can route your next steps and drill into selected files or symbols logically.

How do I locate specific symbols and declarations across an entire project?▼

You can locate specific symbols and declarations by consulting a comprehensive structural digest. The index presents repository declarations and cross-file structure, allowing you to identify and route directly to targeted files for deeper inspection.

Do I need an existing index file to start exploring repository structure?▼

Yes, you need an existing .cursor/INDEX.md file to start exploring repository structure. This skill requires the presence of this comprehensive structural digest to provide the offline, whole-repo map needed for navigation and symbol location.

Can I use a single-file index to understand cross-file import relationships?▼

Yes, you can use a single-file index to understand cross-file import relationships. The index consolidates the repository's directory layout and import structure, enabling you to analyze dependencies and plan targeted reads without scanning individual files.
