+# Prompts Index - Implementation Complete
+
+## Overview
+
+The `entire prompts` feature provides offline-first, searchable prompt history from checkpoint data. This document captures the complete implementation.
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+| Command | File | Description |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| `entire prompts search [query]` | `search.go` | Full-text search with filters |
+| `entire prompts list` | `list.go` | List recent prompts |
+| `entire prompts show <checkpoint-id>` | `show.go` | Show full prompt for checkpoint |
+| `entire prompts index` | `index_cmd.go` | Index management (rebuild, status) |
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+Checkpoint Metadata (entire/checkpoints/v1)
+        ↓
+   Index Builder (walks shards, extracts prompts)
+        ↓
+Index Store (.entire/prompts/index.ndjson)
+        ↓
+Search/Rank (tokenize, score, filter)

+
+### Index Format
+
+**Location:** `.entire/prompts/index.ndjson` (gitignored)
+
+**Format:** Newline-delimited JSON (appendable, no compression)
+
+```json
+{"version":1,"created_at":"2026-05-13T10:00:00Z","repo_root":"/path/to/repo"}
+{"checkpoint_id":"a3b2c4d5e6f7","session_index":0,"turn_index":0,"kind":"session","prompt_text":"...","prompt_truncated":false,"commit_hash":"abc123","commit_message":"feat: add search","branch":"main","agent":"Claude Code","model":"haiku","token_count":150,"files_touched":["main.go"],"created_at":"2026-05-13T09:30:00Z"}
+```
+
+## Key Decisions
+
+1. **NDJSON over SQLite** - Appendable, no external deps, simple
+2. **Porter Stemmer** - Improves recall (caching→cache, authenticated→authent)
+3. **NFC Unicode Normalization** - Handles "café" = "cafe\u0301"
+4. **Weighted Scoring** - Phrase(+10), all tokens(+5), any token(+1), density(*2)
+5. **File Locking** - 3x retry with 50ms backoff, 0o600 permissions
+6. **2000 char truncation** - Full text via `show` command
+7. **Query guards** - Strip regex metacharacters, min 2 chars
+
+## Algorithms
+
+### Tokenization (rank.go)
+
+```go
+func Tokenize(text string) []string {
+    // 1. NFC unicode normalization
+    // 2. Lowercase
+    // 3. Split on word boundaries
+    // 4. Remove stopwords (a, an, the, is, etc.)
+    // 5. Stem with Porter stemmer
+}
+```
+
+### Scoring (rank.go)
+
+```
+Phrase match: +10 points
+All tokens found: +5 points  
+Any token found: +1 point
+Term density: matches / total_tokens * 2
+```
+
+### Filtering (rank.go)
+
+- `--agent`: Filter by agent name
+- `--branch`: Filter by branch
+- `--kind`: Filter by kind (session, agent_review)
+- `--after`: Filter by date (YYYY-MM-DD)
+- `--files`: Filter by files touched
+
+### Search Algorithm
+
+1. Parse query: extract phrase (quoted), tokenize remaining
+2. For each entry:
+   - Skip if filter doesn't match
+   - Score using weighted algorithm
+   - Keep if score > 0
+3. Sort by score descending, then by time
+4. Apply limit
+
+## Test Results
+
+**Unit tests:** 16 tests - all passing
+
+| Test | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| TestTokenize_stemming | Verify Porter stemmer |
+| TestTokenize_stopwords | Verify stopword removal |
+| TestTokenize_unicode | Verify NFC normalization |
+| TestTokenize_specialChars | Verify special char handling |
+| TestParseQuery_basic | Verify basic query parsing |
+| TestParseQuery_phrase | Verify phrase extraction |
+| TestParseQuery_specialChars | Verify regex stripping |
+| TestParseQuery_tooShort | Verify min length check |
+| TestScore_exactPhrase | Verify phrase scoring |
+| TestScore_allTokens | Verify all-tokens scoring |
+| TestScore_termDensity | Verify density calculation |
+| TestSearch_returnsRanked | Verify ranking |
+| TestSearch_emptyQuery | Verify empty query handling |
+| TestSearch_filters | Verify filter application |
+
+**Benchmarks:**
+
+| Benchmark | Result | Target |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| BenchmarkTokenize | ~0.1ms per call | <1ms ✓ |
+| BenchmarkSearch1K (1K entries) | 5.6ms | <100ms ✓ |
+
+**Live testing:**
+- 4 checkpoints, 94 prompts indexed
+- 98.2 KB index size
+
+## Edge Cases Handled
+
+### Query Edge Cases
+- Empty queries return no results
+- Queries < 2 chars rejected
+- Regex metacharacters stripped (`${}[]()....*+?^|\\`)
+- Quoted phrases extracted for exact matching
+
+### Index Edge Cases
+- Missing index: auto-rebuild on search
+- Corrupt index: rebuild with warning
+- Empty index: graceful "no prompts" message
+- Concurrent writes: file locking with retry
+
+### Display Edge Cases
+- Truncated prompts: "(truncated)" suffix shown
+- Ambiguous checkpoint IDs: show disambiguation list
+- Missing fields: show available info only
+
+### Search Edge Cases
+- Agent filter case-insensitive
+- Files filter partial match
+- Date filter parses YYYY-MM-DD format
+- Zero results: helpful message
+
+## Type Stuttering Fixes
+
+Fixed revive lint errors:
+
+| Old Type | New Type | Reason |
+|----------|----------|--------|
+| `PromptEntry` | `Entry` | "prompt entry entry" stuttering |
+| `IndexStore` | `Store` | "index store store" stuttering |
+| `IndexHeader` | `Header` | "index header header" stuttering |
+| `IndexStats` | `Stats` | "index stats stats" stuttering |
+| `IndexBuilder` | `Builder` | "index builder builder" stuttering |
+
