# Refresh — Engine-Powered Re-indexing

Rebuild the codebase index. The engine handles everything programmatically.

## Re-index (auto-generated by engine)

!`ccs index --incremental 2>&1 || node "$HOME/.claude/skills/_ccs/engine/cli.js" index --incremental 2>&1 || echo "CCS engine not found. Run: npm install -g codebase-context-skill"`

## Updated Summary

!`ccs summary 2>/dev/null || node "$HOME/.claude/skills/_ccs/engine/cli.js" summary 2>/dev/null`

## Report to User

Present the results. The index is now fresh. Note:
- The PostToolUse hook auto-updates the index on every file change
- Manual refresh is only needed after large external changes (git pull, branch switch)
- Use `ccs watch` in a separate terminal for continuous auto-updates
