Refresh File Index

Update the file index to reflect current workspace state.

Step 1: Load Configuration

Read memory/index_config.json to get exclusion patterns.

If config doesn't exist, use defaults:

• Exclude: node_modules, .git, pycache, .venv, dist, build, *.pyc, .DS_Store

Step 2: Generate Fresh Index

Build exclusion flags from config, then run:

find . -type f [exclusion flags] -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Format and Write

Update memory/file_index.md:

1. Update "Last updated" timestamp
2. Regenerate directory tree
3. Update file listings with current sizes/dates
4. Add summary stats at top:
   • Total files indexed
   • Total size
   • Directories covered

Step 4: Report Changes

Compare with previous index if available:

• New files added
• Files removed
• Files with size changes

Output summary to user.
