Standardizing how tools describe code.
SCIP (pronunciation: "skip") is a language-agnostic protocol for indexing source code, which can be used to power code navigation functionality such as Go to definition — opens where a name is first created and Find references — every use of that name in the project.
- Standardized index format
- Language-agnostic schema for indexers
- Interoperable tools and integrations
Indexers and tooling using SCIP
SCIP's standard index format is already emitted by a growing ecosystem of indexers across major languages, which is in tools like Sourcegraph, Mozilla Searchfox, rust-analyzer, and Glean.
