# AI tool that automatically indexes local directories

Developed in Rust, xerj offers an auto-indexing capability that enables AI systems to search over data. By processing code, documents, and log files with lower token consumption, it supports search, security audits, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) processes that allow AI to generate answers from up-to-date data.

## If you don't write code

Paste this into your AI agent (Claude Code · Codex · Antigravity)

Use the XERJ tool to index the source code of this project and start coding by searching how similar problems were solved previously.

Repository: https://github.com/xerj-org/xerj. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.

Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.

Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.

Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
