README.md

file-indexer

A Claude Code plugin that indexes files by generating AI summaries and keeping a lightweight catalog alongside your files.

What it does

When you run /index-file, Claude will:

  1. Read and understand the file
  2. Create a .index/<filename>.md with a structured summary
  3. Append a short snippet to CLAUDE.md in the same folder

If the file lives in an Inbox folder (case-insensitive), Claude will ask where to move it before indexing.

Installation

Copy .claude/commands/index-file.md into your project's .claude/commands/ folder, or place it in ~/.claude/commands/ to make it available globally.

Usage

/index-file                              # Claude asks which file to index
/index-file path/to/file.pdf            # Index a specific file in place
/index-file Inbox/report.pdf ~/Docs/    # Move from Inbox to destination, then index
