Map

Map is Chippery's code indexing system. It automatically indexes your codebase so you can use /chippery-orient and /chippery-func for fast, token-efficient navigation.

Automatic Indexing

The index builds automatically when you:

• Start Chippery in a project for the first time
• Start a Claude Code session in a git repository

You'll see a message like:

Chippery: Building code index in background...

Once complete, the navigation tools become available.

Commands

In Chippery

Command	Description
/map	Show index status
/map-rebuild	Rebuild the full index
/map-clear	Clear the index
/map-add <file>	Add a specific file to the index

In Claude Code

Command	Description
/chippery-index	Rebuild the code index

When to Rebuild

You usually don't need to manually rebuild. The index updates automatically. But you might want to rebuild if:

• You made major changes (added many files, large refactoring)
• /chippery-func returns stale or missing results
• You want to force an immediate update instead of waiting

To rebuild:

In Chippery:

/map-rebuild

In Claude Code:

/chippery-index

Clearing the Index

If you need to start fresh:

In Chippery:

/map-clear
/map-rebuild

Or delete the folder:

rm -rf .chippery

The index will rebuild on the next session.

Index Status

Check if the index is ready:

/map

This shows:

• Whether the index exists
• Number of indexed files
• Last update time

Supported Languages

The indexer supports:

• TypeScript / JavaScript
• Python
• Go
• Rust
• Java / Kotlin
• C / C++
• Ruby
• PHP
• And more...

Storage

The index is stored in .chippery/index/ in your project root. You can add this to .gitignore if you prefer not to commit it.
