ccc - Semantic Code Search & Indexing

ccc is the CLI for CocoIndex Code, providing semantic search over the current codebase and index management.

Ownership

The agent owns the ccc lifecycle for the current project — initialization, indexing, and searching. Do not ask the user to perform these steps; handle them automatically.

Initialization: If ccc search or ccc index fails with an initialization error (e.g., "Not in an initialized project directory"), run ccc init from the project root directory, then ccc index to build the index, then retry the original command.

Index freshness: Keep the index up to date by running ccc index (or ccc search --refresh) when the index may be stale — e.g., at the start of a session, or after making significant code changes (new files, refactors, renamed modules). There is no need to re-index between consecutive searches if no code was changed in between.

Installation: If ccc itself is not found (command not found), refer to management.md for installation instructions and inform the user.

Searching the Codebase

To perform a semantic search:

ccc search <query terms>
