Codixing Setup

Set up the Codixing code retrieval engine for the current project.

Steps

1. Check if codixing is available

codixing --version

If this fails, install:

curl -fsSL https://codixing.com/install.sh | sh

Or via npm:

npx -y codixing-mcp --version

2. Check for existing index

Look for a .codixing/ directory in the project root. If it exists, skip to step 4.

3. Index the project

codixing init .

If the user passed --embeddings or --model:

codixing init . --model $1

This requires ONNX Runtime at ~/.local/lib/libonnxruntime.dylib (macOS) or ~/.local/lib/libonnxruntime.so (Linux).

4. Verify

Test the index with a search:

codixing search "main entry point" --limit 3

Suggest the user try:

• codixing search "query" for finding code
• codixing symbols Name for symbol lookup
• codixing graph --map for architecture overview

Arguments

• No arguments: BM25-only index (fastest, recommended)
• --embeddings: Enable semantic search with default model (bge-small-en)
• --model <name>: Choose embedding model (bge-small-en, bge-base-en, all-minilm-l6-v2)
