About index-at-creation
A workflow skill for indexing artifacts as they are created, intended for systems whose downstream logic needs newly written artifacts to be queryable promptly.
Key features
- 01Index artifacts immediately on creation
- 02Use --file for single-file indexing
- 03Trigger indexing from the artifact creation event
Use cases
- 01Index handoffs after a write hook
- 02Make new artifacts available to downstream logic promptly
Install

Details
From the project READMEIndex at Creation Time
Index artifacts when they're created, not at batch boundaries.
Pattern
If downstream logic depends on artifacts being queryable, index immediately at write time.
DO
- Index handoffs in PostToolUse Write hook (immediately after creation)
- Use
--fileflag for fast single-file indexing - Trigger indexing from the same event that creates the artifact
DON'T
- Wait for SessionEnd to batch-index
- Rely on cron/scheduled jobs for time-sensitive data
- Assume data will be available "soon enough"
