SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Incrementally updates the Code Atlas architecture index as the codebase evolves, re-indexing only changed areas to minimize work and downtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incremental diffing between the current and baseline state to update atlas indices without a full rescan.
  • Supports micro-update, targeted update, and full re-scan via a 'full' argument.
  • Use case: when you modify a subset of files, the tool updates only affected atlas entries and preserves overall index integrity.

Quick Start

Invoke the code-atlas:update skill with an optional full argument to perform a full re-scan when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about code-atlas:update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I incrementally update an architecture index without rescanning the entire codebase?▼

To incrementally update an architecture index, the Code Atlas uses file-hash diffing against state.json to identify changed files, updating only affected entries rather than performing a full rescan.

What is the best way to trigger a full re-scan of a code architecture index?▼

You can trigger a full re-scan of the architecture index by invoking the update skill with a 'full' argument, which forces the complete map pipeline to rebuild all entries from scratch.

How does file-hash diffing work for state management in codebase indexing?▼

File-hash diffing works for state management by comparing current repository files against a baseline state.json, allowing the index to process only modified areas and preserve overall index integrity.

Can I perform targeted updates to specific architecture index entries?▼

Yes, you can perform targeted updates to the architecture index. The skill supports micro-updates and targeted updates to modify specific entries when only a subset of files changes.

Where does the architecture indexing tool store its state and index data?▼

The architecture indexing tool reads and writes its state and index data exclusively within the `.code-atlas/` directory to maintain baseline state and manage incremental updates.

When should I avoid incremental indexing and rebuild the architecture map completely?▼

You should avoid incremental indexing and rebuild completely when overall index integrity is compromised, or when major structural changes occur, by using the 'full' argument to trigger a complete re-scan.
