index

index is a skill for Claude Code from joestump/claude-plugin-sdd. It costs 82 tokens per session (11,416 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A repository indexing workflow that makes architecture documents, specifications, source code, and issue files searchable. It uses qmd, a search tool that combines keyword and meaning-based matching.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create separate searchable collections for architecture decision records, specifications, code, and tracker issues.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent hunting through project files and keeps different kinds of engineering information available through one search setup.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

index scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 565 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Index Repository into QMD

Harness portability. This skill runs on any agent harness that loads Agent Skills — Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Crush. Tool names used below (AskUserQuestion, Task, TeamCreate, SendMessage, TaskCreate, ToolSearch, mcp__*, ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}) denote capabilities, not hard requirements: map each to your harness's equivalent or use the documented fallback per ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/harness-compat.md. References to CLAUDE.md mean the project memory file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or CRUSH.md) per harness-compat § "Project Memory File". A citation of the form shared-patterns.md § "Section" names one ## heading in that file — load only that section (see its "How to Read This File" note), never the whole file.

Create per-repository qmd collections so agents and humans can run hybrid search across a repo's ADRs, OpenSpec specs, source code, and tracker issues from a single query plane. Each repository owns four collections ({repo}-adrs, {repo}-specs, {repo}-code, {repo}-issues) so searches can be filtered cleanly with qmd query "..." -c {repo}-adrs. The issues collection is populated by syncing the configured tracker into .sdd/issues/{id}.md files (per ADR-0025 and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/tracker-sync.md). Workspace projects (ADR-0016) get one set of collections per module: {repo}-{module}-{kind}.

Process

  1. Resolve artifact paths: Follow the Artifact Path Resolution pattern from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/shared-patterns.md § "Artifact Path Resolution". If $ARGUMENTS contains --module <name>, scope to that module; otherwise, in a workspace, iterate all modules. The resolved ADR directory is {adr-dir} and spec directory is {spec-dir}, both per-module in workspace mode.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

index is a skill published in the GitHub repository joestump/claude-plugin-sdd (32 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 11,416 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
