md2idx tool optimizes LLM context window usage for large Markdown files

A new command-line tool called md2idx has been developed to help Large Language Models (LLMs) process large Markdown files more efficiently. Instead of loading entire files into their context window, LLMs can use md2idx to parse Markdown into a JSON format containing an index of headings and the content of each section. This allows the LLM to retrieve only the necessary sections, significantly reducing token usage and improving answer accuracy. The tool is designed to work with utilities like `jq` and can be integrated into coding agents, such as Claude Code, to automate efficient document processing. AI
