# 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"
