index_project
Index local source files into a semantic cache, enabling AI assistants to retrieve relevant code without re-reading the whole codebase. Walks directories and stores file summaries with paths.
Instructions
Index local source files into the cachly semantic cache so AI assistants can use semantic_search to find relevant files instead of re-reading the whole codebase every time. Walks a directory recursively, reads each matching file, and stores a summary + path as a semantic cache entry (prompt = file path + content excerpt, value = relative path). Requires an embedding provider (OPENAI_API_KEY or CACHLY_EMBED_PROVIDER + key). Run once, then re-run after major refactors. TTL=86400 (24h) keeps entries fresh.
