ABOUTME Index

Read

.claude/aboutme-index.json

to find files by purpose instead of grep-searching.

Usage

Read the index:

cat .claude/aboutme-index.json

Filter by keyword using jq:

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

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.
