Index Location

Where VecGrep stores its index files

Default location

~/.vecgrep/<sha256-of-absolute-project-path>/

Each project gets its own isolated directory based on a SHA-256 hash of the absolute project path.

Layout

~/.vecgrep/<project_hash>/
  lancedb/        # vector embeddings and ANN index (IVF-PQ)
  merkle.json     # mtime/size fingerprints for incremental indexing
  graph.json      # knowledge graph (nodes + edges) — created by index_graph

graph.json is only present after index_graph has been run. All other tools function without it.

Managing the index

Check index size and stats:

get_index_status("/path/to/myproject")

Wipe and rebuild the full index (vector + graph):

rm -rf ~/.vecgrep/<hash>/

Force rebuild via tool parameters:

index_codebase("/path/to/myproject", force=true)
index_graph("/path/to/myproject", force=true)
