Rebuild the SQLite FTS5 vault index non-destructively to refresh the note searchability while preserving activation data (access_log, themes, theme_members); only regenerates derivable tables.
--full to delete and recreate the entire database when schema issues arise.Run the /vault-reindex command to rebuild the vault index.

To rebuild a stale SQLite FTS5 vault index safely, run an incremental reindex that reconciles on-disk note changes while preserving access log, themes, and theme member tables. This refreshes searchability without destroying historical activation data.
Use a destructive full rebuild when database schema issues arise and incremental indexing fails. Invoking the rebuild with the --full flag wipes and recreates the entire database, requiring confirmation before proceeding to prevent unintended data loss.
Yes, incremental indexing supports Obsidian vaults by detecting newly added notes for indexing and removing deleted ones from the database. It reconciles the on-disk vault state with the index while leaving preserved activation history untouched.
The best way to refresh note searchability after bulk edits is running a delta index command. It reads vault configuration and updates the SQLite FTS5 index with only the changed files, keeping preserved tables intact and avoiding a full database wipe.
The vault reindex process preserves access logs and theme tables because these contain non-derivable activation history. Reindexing only regenerates derivable tables to ensure historical data remains safe during standard delta updates or full rebuilds.
Yes, vault-reindex enforces a CLI workflow implemented in Bash and Python compatible with Claude Code. It reads vault configuration and runs delta or full database refreshes directly from the command line to automate searchability updates.
