Deep-Dive: How Claude Code 2.0 Indexing Handles Multi-Repo Cross-References
The technical performance of **Claude Code 2.0** across large-scale software monorepos is powered by an incremental Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) indexing engine. When pointed at multiple repositories, Claude Code builds a local symbol dependency graph mapping functions, types, and API interfaces.
Key Takeaway & Industry Impact
An architectural deep-dive into Claude Code 2.0's Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) indexing, symbol graph Resolution, and background worker threads.
When a developer requests cross-service refactoring, the tool queries the symbol graph to identify affected call sites across microservices before initiating code edits. Edits are executed via atomic subagents running inside isolated git worktrees, preventing working tree pollution.
