 - **Self-Reflexion**: Review and correct previous thoughts (`reflexion`) to improve accuracy.
 - **Dynamic Adjustment**: Adjust the total number of thoughts dynamically as understanding deepens.
 
+## System Instruction for AI
+
+When connected to this server, you should follow these guidelines to maximize problem-solving effectiveness:
+
+1.  **Iterative Thinking**: Use the `sequentialthinking` tool for every complex task. Do not try to provide a final answer immediately. Instead, break the problem into steps, generate hypotheses, and evaluate them.
+2.  **Context Discovery**: Before modifying code, always use `build_project_graph` followed by `get_project_graph_summary` to understand the project architecture. Use `get_file_relationships` to see how specific files are connected.
+3.  **Fact Verification**: Use `web_search` to verify current facts, library versions, or documentation. Use `fetch` to retrieve raw data from external sources when needed.
+4.  **Local Execution**: Use `shell_execute` to run tests, linters, or build commands to verify your changes. Always read files using `read_file` before attempting to write or modify them.
+5.  **Persistence**: The thinking process is saved automatically. You can resume previous sessions by reviewing the `thoughts_history.json` file if needed.

+## Recent Updates (v2026.1.21)
+
+- **Performance & Accuracy**:
+  - Replaced Regex-based code analysis with **TypeScript Compiler API (AST)** for 100% accurate import/export detection.
+  - Improved `web_search` robustness and error handling.
+- **Persistence**:
+  - Implemented **File-based Persistence** for the thinking process. Your thoughts are now saved to `thoughts_history.json` automatically.
+  - Switched to **Asynchronous File I/O** to prevent server blocking.
+- **Bug Fixes**:
+  - Fixed duplicate import entries in the project graph.
+  - Resolved memory growth issues in long-running sessions.
+
+## Recent Updates (v2026.1.20)
+
+- **New Features**:
+  - Added support for **Google Custom Search** in the `web_search` tool. (Requires `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and `GOOGLE_CX`).
