 Without Brain, Claude Code starts fresh every session. With Brain:
 
 - **Errors are solved faster** — Brain matches new errors against its database and suggests proven solutions with confidence scores
+- **Cross-project learning** — Brain remembers fixes from your other projects and suggests them automatically
 - **Code is never rewritten** — Before writing new code, Brain checks if similar modules already exist across your projects
 - **Patterns emerge automatically** — The research engine analyzes your codebase to find trends, gaps, and synergies
 - **Knowledge compounds** — Every fix, every module, every session makes Brain smarter
+- **Errors are caught automatically** — Hooks detect errors in real-time and report them to Brain without manual intervention
+- **Proactive prevention** — Brain warns you BEFORE an error occurs when it detects code matching known antipatterns
+- **Semantic search** — Local embeddings enable vector-based similarity search alongside TF-IDF matching
+- **Universal access** — REST API and MCP over HTTP make Brain available to any tool, IDE, or CI/CD pipeline
 
 ## Features
 
+### Core Intelligence
 - **Error Memory** — Track errors, match against known solutions, learn from successes and failures
 - **Code Intelligence** — Register and discover reusable code modules across projects
 - **Hebbian Synapse Network** — Weighted graph connecting errors, solutions, code modules, and concepts. Connections strengthen with use (like biological synapses)
 - **Spreading Activation** — Explore related knowledge by activating nodes in the synapse network
 - **Research Engine** — Automated analysis producing actionable insights: trends, gaps, synergies, template candidates
-- **Learning Engine** — Pattern extraction, rule generation, confidence decay, antipattern detection
-- **Interactive Dashboard** — HTML dashboard with live stats, language distribution, and categorized insights
-- **Full CLI** — Query, explore, and manage Brain from the terminal
-- **MCP Integration** — 13 tools exposed to Claude Code via Model Context Protocol
+- **Learning Engine** — Pattern extraction, rule generation, confidence decay, antipattern detection with adaptive thresholds
+
+### Smart Matching (v1.3+)
+- **Context Enrichment** — Errors are enriched with task context, working directory, and command information
+- **Error Chain Tracking** — Detects when errors cascade from fix attempts ("this error arose while fixing error #12")
+- **Module Similarity** — Pairwise similarity detection finds duplicate code across projects
+- **Cyclomatic Complexity** — Complexity metrics flow into reusability scores
+- **Source Hash Detection** — Skips re-analysis for unchanged modules, triggers re-analysis on changes
+- **Dependency Synapses** — Internal imports create `depends_on` synapses, enriching the network
+
+### Advanced Intelligence (v1.4+)
+- **Cross-Project Transfer Learning** — Matches errors against resolved errors from ALL projects, not just the current one
+- **Proactive Prevention** — Post-write hook checks new code against known antipatterns before errors occur
+- **Adaptive Thresholds** — Learning thresholds auto-calibrate based on data volume (10 errors vs. 500 errors need different sensitivity)
+- **User Feedback Loop** — Rate insights and rules as useful/not useful to improve future analysis
+
+### Visualization (v1.5+)
+- **Live Dashboard** — SSE-powered real-time dashboard with streaming stats
+- **Health Score** — Single-number indicator of how well Brain is performing
+- **Error Timeline** — Daily error counts over time, per project
+- **Error Explain** — Full "medical record" of any error: solutions, chains, related errors, rules, insights
+
+### Git Integration (v1.6+)
+- **Commit Linking** — Link errors to git commits (introduced_by, fixed_by)
+- **Diff-Aware Context** — Captures current git diff and branch when errors occur
+- **Commit History** — Track which commits introduced errors and which fixed them
+
+### Universal Access (v1.7+)
+- **REST API** — Full HTTP API on port 7777 with RESTful routes + generic RPC endpoint
+- **MCP over HTTP/SSE** — Standard MCP protocol over HTTP for Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, and other tools
+- **Batch RPC** — Send multiple API calls in a single request
+- **API Key Auth** — Optional authentication via `X-API-Key` header
+
+### Semantic Search (v1.8+)
+- **Local Embeddings** — all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (23MB) runs locally via ONNX, no cloud required
+- **Hybrid Search** — Triple-signal matching: TF-IDF + Vector Similarity + Synapse Boost
+- **Background Sweep** — Embeddings are computed automatically for all entries
+- **Graceful Fallback** — Works without embeddings; vector search enhances but isn't required

+
+### Authentication
+
+Set an API key via environment variable:
+
+```bash
+BRAIN_API_KEY=your-secret-key brain start
+```
+
+Then include it in requests:
+
+```bash
+curl -H "X-API-Key: your-secret-key" http://localhost:7777/api/v1/analytics/summary
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Brain is configured via `config.json` in the data directory or environment variables:
+
+| Env Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BRAIN_DATA_DIR` | `~/.brain` | Data directory |
+| `BRAIN_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Log level |
+| `BRAIN_API_PORT` | `7777` | REST API port |
+| `BRAIN_API_KEY` | — | API authentication key |
+| `BRAIN_MCP_HTTP_PORT` | `7778` | MCP HTTP/SSE port |
+| `BRAIN_API_ENABLED` | `true` | Enable REST API |
+| `BRAIN_MCP_HTTP_ENABLED` | `true` | Enable MCP HTTP |
+| `BRAIN_EMBEDDINGS_ENABLED` | `true` | Enable local embeddings |
+| `BRAIN_EMBEDDINGS_MODEL` | `Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | Embedding model |
+
+## Auto Error Detection
+
+When the PostToolUse hook is configured, Brain automatically:
+
+1. **Captures errors** — Detects errors from Bash command output (exit codes, error patterns like `TypeError`, `ENOENT`, `npm ERR!`, `BUILD FAILED`, etc.)
+2. **Reports to Brain** — Sends the error to the daemon for storage and matching
+3. **Suggests solutions** — If Brain has seen a similar error before, it outputs a hint via stderr
+4. **Checks antipatterns** — Warns if the error matches a known antipattern
+5. **Checks code** — PostWrite hook proactively checks new code against known error patterns
+
+This happens silently in the background — no manual intervention needed.
+
 ## How It Learns
 
-1. **Error Reported** — Claude encounters an error and reports it via `brain_report_error`
-2. **Solution Found** — When the error is fixed, `brain_report_solution` records the fix
-3. **Synapses Form** — Brain creates weighted connections: error <-> solution, error <-> code module
-4. **Confidence Updates** — Wilson Score Interval computes conservative confidence from success/fail history
-5. **Patterns Emerge** — Learning engine extracts recurring patterns and generates preventive rules
-6. **Research Runs** — Background analysis finds trends, gaps, and cross-project synergies
-7. **Next Time** — When a similar error appears, Brain instantly suggests the proven solution
+1. **Error Reported** — Claude encounters an error and reports it via `brain_report_error` (or the hook catches it automatically)
+2. **Context Enriched** — Brain captures task context, working directory, command, git branch, and diff

+4. **Solution Found** — When the error is fixed, `brain_report_solution` records the fix
