Abstract
A virtual directory is created in a software development tool that lists the files having source code components (e.g., files, functions, methods, types, classes) of a codebase that relate to a user query about the codebase. The files of the codebase are partitioned into chunks with each chunk having a respective embedding. A search for the source code components relevant to the query is performed using an embedding of the query and the chunk embeddings representing the files of codebase. As a file of the virtual directory is edited, the chunk embeddings are updated and the virtual directory is updated with a reference to the revised file.
