Auto-sync
Five ways to keep your repowise wiki current as code changes — post-commit hook, file watcher, GitHub webhook, GitLab webhook, and a polling safety net.
Indexing — init, update, reindex
The three commands that build and maintain repowise's intelligence layers. init parses everything from scratch, update is incremental on each commit, reindex rebuilds the vector store without re-running the LLM.
