Index 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 --file flag 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"
