 All notable changes to AiDex will be documented in this file.
 
+## [1.6.0] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Added
+- **Auto CLAUDE.md instructions**: `aidex setup` now installs AI instructions in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
+  - Tells Claude to auto-run `aidex_init` when no `.aidex/` exists
+  - Provides tool usage guide (prefer AiDex over Grep/Glob)
+  - `aidex unsetup` cleanly removes the instructions block
+- **Idempotent setup**: Re-running `aidex setup` updates existing config without errors
+
 ## [1.5.2] - 2026-02-01

+## AiDex - Persistent Code Index (MCP Server)
+
+AiDex provides fast, precise code search through a pre-built index. **Always prefer AiDex over Grep/Glob for code searches.**
+
+### Auto-Init Rule
+
+**At the start of every session, check if \`.aidex/\` exists in the project directory.**
+- If \`.aidex/\` does NOT exist → **automatically run \`aidex_init\`** to create the index. Do not ask, just do it.
+- If \`.aidex/\` exists → use AiDex tools for all code searches.
+
+### When to Use AiDex (instead of Grep/Glob)
+
+| Task | Do NOT use | Use instead |
+|------|-----------|-------------|
+| Find a function/class/variable | \`Grep pattern="name"\` | \`aidex_query term="name"\` |
+| See all methods in a file | \`Read entire_file.cs\` | \`aidex_signature file="..."\` |
+| Explore multiple files | Multiple Read calls | \`aidex_signatures pattern="src/**"\` |
+| Project overview | Many Glob/Read calls | \`aidex_summary\` + \`aidex_tree\` |
+| What changed recently? | \`git log\` + Read | \`aidex_query term="X" modified_since="2h"\` |
+
+### Available Tools
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| \`aidex_init\` | Index a project (creates \`.aidex/\`) |
+| \`aidex_query\` | Search by term (exact/contains/starts_with) |
+| \`aidex_signature\` | Get one file's classes + methods |
+| \`aidex_signatures\` | Get signatures for multiple files (glob) |
+| \`aidex_update\` | Re-index a single changed file |
+| \`aidex_summary\` | Project overview with entry points |
+| \`aidex_tree\` | File tree with statistics |
+| \`aidex_files\` | List project files by type |
+| \`aidex_session\` | Start session, detect external changes |
+| \`aidex_note\` | Read/write session notes |
+| \`aidex_viewer\` | Open interactive project tree in browser |
+
+### Why AiDex over Grep?
+
+- **~50 tokens** per search vs 2000+ with Grep
+- **Identifiers only** - no noise from comments/strings
+- **Persistent** - index survives between sessions
+- **Structure-aware** - knows methods, classes, types
