Paperwik Rebuild Index

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc

Rebuild knowledge.db from the markdown source of truth. Use when the database is missing, corrupted, restored from a backup that has stale data, or when retrieval quality suddenly tanks for no obvious reason. Triggers on phrases like "rebuild the index", "regenerate knowledge.db", "my search is broken — rebuild it", "my index got corrupted", "restore the retrieval database from my notes". Iterates every .md file in the vault, re-chunks, re-embeds, re-extracts entities, and rewrites knowledge.db. Safe to run — the markdown files are untouched.
