Indexing Capability
The shared format and health-check that lets an agent find your Goals, Plans, Capabilities, and Skills quickly. Indexes are lightweight signposts that point at your real files, so nothing has to be hunted for.
What it is for
Use it when you have a question about the index format, when a repository needs its Indexes/ set up on adoption, or when you want a quick, read-only health review before a large pass of work begins.
Frictions it removes
- Hunting through the repo. Agents find the right file fast instead of searching blind.
- Inconsistent formats. One shared structure keeps every index readable the same way.
- Silent rot. A health check surfaces gaps and stale entries before they cause trouble.
How it works
This Capability defines the common index format and a read-only health check. Indexes always point at source files — they never become the files themselves. The day-to-day work of keeping them current is handled by Manual Indexing.
