Codebase Index

Your agents search the code instead of reading all of it

EQUALIZE keeps one index of the open workspace and serves it to every agent: Claude Code, Codex and Kilo through MCP, the TensorEQ CLI, and local models. Fewer files read means fewer tokens and faster answers.

What is indexed

Symbols, signatures, imports and summaries

File list from Git, so .gitignore is respected. For every file: functions, classes, interfaces and types, methods, IPC channels, MCP tool names and Markdown headings — each with its line and signature — plus imports and the file's opening summary.

  • Stored as .tensoreq/code-index.json and refreshed incrementally — only changed files are read again
  • Measured on the EQUALIZE source: 1,524 files and 14,509 symbols in 2.5 s; refresh 0.6 s; search about 0.1 s
  • The Index tab: search, click a result to open the file at that line, and see the map an agent receives
Index tab in EQUALIZE: a search for invoice lists interfaces, classes, functions, an IPC channel and text matches with file and line

MCP tools

The same index for every agent

Read-only tools on the EQUALIZE MCP server, behind the same approval as every other tool:

  • equalize.code.map — a compact map: languages, manifests, most-imported files, folders with their exported symbols
  • equalize.code.search · definition · outline · refs
  • equalize.graph.query — nodes, neighbours and import paths from the same index
  • TensorEQ CLI: /map /find /def /outline read it too

Start here

An agent that calls equalize.code.map first knows where things are before it opens a file — the difference between reading three files and reading thirty.

FAQ

Questions about this feature

Which agents can use the index?

Any MCP client connected to EQUALIZE — Claude Code, Codex, Kilo, Cursor — plus the TensorEQ CLI and the local model in EqualizeOS.

Does it upload my code?

No. The index is a file inside your workspace and it is served by EQUALIZE on your computer.
