Index local project content for later search.

为后续搜索索引本地项目内容。

Prefer the
```
ctx_index
```
MCP tool when it is available.
Ask for a path only if the user did not provide one and the current project root is ambiguous.
Use
```
path
```
, not large inline
```
content
```
, so file bytes do not enter the conversation.
For repository indexing, pass conservative bounds and a clear source label:

javascript

ctx_index({
  path: ".",
  source: "project:<name>",
  maxDepth: 5,
  maxFiles: 200
})

bash

context-mode index . --source project:<name>

Report the indexed source label, file count or section count, and the matching search command:

javascript

ctx_search({ source: "project:<name>", queries: ["..."] })

javascript

ctx_index({
  path: ".",
  source: "project:<name>",
  maxDepth: 5,
  maxFiles: 200
})

bash

context-mode index . --source project:<name>

javascript

ctx_search({ source: "project:<name>", queries: ["..."] })

Do not index dependency directories, build outputs, secrets, or generated artifacts.
Prefer
```
--exclude
```
or
```
exclude
```
for project-specific noisy paths.
For broad repos, ask the user before raising
```
maxFiles
```
above 500.
