Can I automatically index an unfamiliar repository's entry points and feature modules?

Yes, you can automatically index an unfamiliar repository by triggering analysis to detect entry points, organize files by feature, and export a symbol map for quick navigation.

What's the best way to help Claude Code understand my codebase structure without manual exploration?

The best way to help Claude Code understand your codebase is generating a structured index with an overview, feature map, and file index, which updates CLAUDE.md automatically for session context.

Does the project indexing process detect programming languages and frameworks?

Yes, the project indexing process detects programming languages and frameworks during repository analysis, organizing the detected architecture into a navigable project map.

What files are created when indexing a codebase for Claude Code sessions?

Indexing a codebase for Claude Code sessions creates .claude-index/index.md and .claude-index/config.md, and updates the existing CLAUDE.md file with the generated index.

When do I need a codebase index for Claude Code navigation?

You need a codebase index for Claude Code navigation when starting a new session on a large, unfamiliar project, allowing quick access to primary modules and entry points without manual exploration.
