aboutme-index

name	aboutme-index
description	Index-based file discovery using ABOUTME headers. Use INSTEAD of grep or Explore agent when searching for files by purpose or feature. Faster and more accurate than scanning code. Invoke this skill when user asks "which files handle X", "where is Y implemented", or when you need to find files related to a feature or task.

ABOUTME Index

Read .claude/aboutme-index.json to find files by purpose instead of grep-searching.

Usage

1. Read the index:

cat .claude/aboutme-index.json

2. Filter by keyword using jq:

cat .claude/aboutme-index.json | jq 'to_entries[] | select(.value | test("auth|jwt"; "i"))'

3. Read the relevant files.

Commands

Command	Description
/aboutme-check	Find files missing ABOUTME headers
/aboutme-rebuild	Rebuild the entire index
/aboutme-stale	Check for stale headers
cat .claude/aboutme-index.json	Read the index directly

Index Format

{
  "app/src/auth.py": "JWT authentication module for AWS Cognito access tokens...",
  "app/src/config.py": "Centralized configuration using Pydantic settings..."
}

The index is auto-rebuilt on session start and updated incrementally on file edits.
