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:
- Read and understand the file
- Create a
.index/<filename>.mdwith a structured summary - Append a short snippet to
CLAUDE.mdin 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
