⚙️ CodeMap CLI Scanner — Keep Your Map Always Up to Date

The CodeMap CLI Scanner is a command-line tool that scans your project and generates a fresh, AI-ready code_map.json. You can run it manually or automate it to always keep your AI assistant in sync with your codebase.

📥 Basic usage:

php scan_cli.php --project=PATH [OPTIONS]

--project: Path to your project folder (relative or absolute)
Additional flags available for PHP, JS, HTML, CSS, SQL, and globals

➡️ See CodeMap CLI Scanner — Usage & Parameters here →

🔁 Recommended Automation (Windows Task Scheduler):

Create a batch file (e.g., run_scan.bat) with the following content:

php C:\path\scan_cli.php --project=../myproject --analyze_php --extract_globals > scan_log.txt 2>&1

Open Task Scheduler and create a new task:

Action: Start a program
Program: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Arguments: /c "C:\path\to\run_scan.bat"
Trigger: Every 5–10 minutes (depends on project frequency)

⏹ How to stop the auto-refresh:

Open Task Scheduler → Find your task → Right-click → Disable or Delete.

💡 Pro Tip: For active projects, set refresh every 5 minutes. For stable projects, 10–30 minutes is enough.

⏰ Setting up the auto-refresh trigger (Windows)

Open Task Scheduler (use Windows search)
Click “Create Basic Task”
Give your task a name (e.g., CodeMap Refresh)
Select “Daily” and click Next
Choose a start time (e.g., 08:00 AM)
On the recurrence screen, check “Repeat task every:” → choose 5 minutes, for a duration of 1 day
Select “Start a program” → click Next
Enter the following:
- Program: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
- Arguments: /c "C:\path\to\run_scan.bat"
Click Finish to schedule it

💡 Pro Tip: You can view, edit, or disable your task anytime via the Task Scheduler Library.
