Index Knowledge

# index-knowledge

Generate hierarchical AGENTS.md files. Root + complexity-scored subdirectories.

## Usage

```
--create-new   # Read existing → remove all → regenerate from scratch
--max-depth=2  # Limit directory depth (default: 5)
```

Default: Update mode (modify existing + create new where warranted)

## Workflow (High-Level)

1. **Discovery + Analysis** (concurrent)
   - Launch parallel explore agents (multiple Task calls in one message)
   - Main session: bash structure + LSP codemap + read existing AGENTS.md
2. **Score & Decide** - Determine AGENTS.md locations from merged findings
3. **Generate** - Root first, then subdirs in parallel
4. **Review** - Deduplicate, trim, validate

<critical>
**TodoWrite ALL phases. Mark in_progress → completed in real-time.**
  
```
TodoWrite([
  { id: "discovery", content: "Fire explore agents + LSP codemap + read existing", status: "pending", priority: "high" },

## Phase 1: Discovery + Analysis (Concurrent)

**Mark "discovery" as in_progress.**

### Launch Parallel Explore Agents

Multiple Task calls in a single message execute in parallel. Results return directly.

```
// All Task calls in ONE message = parallel execution

Task(
  description="project structure",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Project structure: PREDICT standard patterns for detected language → REPORT deviations only"
)

Task(
  description="entry points",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Entry points: FIND main files → REPORT non-standard organization"
)

Task(
  description="conventions",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Conventions: FIND config files (.eslintrc, pyproject.toml, .editorconfig) → REPORT project-specific rules"
)

Task(
  description="anti-patterns",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Anti-patterns: FIND 'DO NOT', 'NEVER', 'ALWAYS', 'DEPRECATED' comments → LIST forbidden patterns"
)

Task(
  description="build/ci",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Build/CI: FIND .github/workflows, Makefile → REPORT non-standard patterns"
)

Task(
  description="test patterns",
  subagent_type="explore",
  prompt="Test patterns: FIND test configs, test structure → REPORT unique conventions"
)
```

**DYNAMIC AGENT SPAWNING**: After bash analysis, spawn ADDITIONAL explore agents based on project scale:

| Factor | Threshold | Additional Agents |
|--------|-----------|-------------------|
| **Total files** | >100 | +1 per 100 files |
| **Total lines** | >10k | +1 per 10k lines |
| **Directory depth** | ≥4 | +2 for deep exploration |
| **Large files (>500 lines)** | >10 files | +1 for complexity hotspots |
| **Monorepo** | detected | +1 per package/workspace |
| **Multiple languages** | >1 | +1 per language |

```bash
# Measure project scale first
total_files=$(find . -type f -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -not -path '*/.git/*' | wc -l)
total_lines=$(find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.go" \) -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -exec wc -l {} + 2>/dev/null | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
large_files=$(find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.py" \) -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -exec wc -l {} + 2>/dev/null | awk '$1 > 500 {count++} END {print count+0}')
max_depth=$(find . -type d -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -not -path '*/.git/*' | awk -F/ '{print NF}' | sort -rn | head -1)
```

Example spawning (all in ONE message for parallel execution):
```
// 500 files, 50k lines, depth 6, 15 large files → spawn additional agents
