+# Claude Code x LEANN 集成指南
+
+## ✅ 现状：已经可以工作！
+
+好消息：LEANN CLI已经完全可以在Claude Code中使用，无需任何修改！
+
+## 🚀 立即开始
+
+### 1. 激活环境
+```bash
+# 在LEANN项目目录下
+source .venv/bin/activate.fish  # fish shell
+# 或
+source .venv/bin/activate       # bash shell
+```
+
+### 2. 基本命令
+
+#### 查看现有索引
+```bash
+leann list
+```
+
+#### 搜索文档
+```bash
+leann search my-docs "machine learning" --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+#### 问答对话
+```bash
+echo "What is machine learning?" | leann ask my-docs --llm ollama --model qwen3:8b --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+#### 构建新索引
+```bash
+leann build project-docs --docs ./src --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+## 💡 Claude Code 使用技巧
+
+### 在Claude Code中直接使用
+
+1. **激活环境**：
+   ```bash
+   cd /Users/andyl/Projects/LEANN-RAG
+   source .venv/bin/activate.fish
+   ```
+
+2. **搜索代码库**：
+   ```bash
+   leann search my-docs "authentication patterns" --recompute-embeddings --top-k 10
+   ```
+
+3. **智能问答**：
+   ```bash
+   echo "How does the authentication system work?" | leann ask my-docs --llm ollama --model qwen3:8b --recompute-embeddings
+   ```
+
+### 批量操作示例
+
+```bash
+# 构建项目文档索引
+leann build project-docs --docs ./docs --force
+
+# 搜索多个关键词
+leann search project-docs "API authentication" --recompute-embeddings
+leann search project-docs "database schema" --recompute-embeddings
+leann search project-docs "deployment guide" --recompute-embeddings
+
+# 问答模式
+echo "What are the API endpoints?" | leann ask project-docs --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+## 🎯 Claude 可以立即执行的工作流
+
+### 代码分析工作流
+```bash
+# 1. 构建代码库索引
+leann build codebase --docs ./src --backend hnsw --recompute-embeddings
+
+# 2. 分析架构
+echo "What is the overall architecture?" | leann ask codebase --recompute-embeddings
+
+# 3. 查找特定功能
+leann search codebase "user authentication" --recompute-embeddings --top-k 5
+
+# 4. 理解实现细节
+echo "How is user authentication implemented?" | leann ask codebase --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+### 文档理解工作流
+```bash
+# 1. 索引项目文档
+leann build docs --docs ./docs --recompute-embeddings
+
+# 2. 快速查找信息
+leann search docs "installation requirements" --recompute-embeddings
+
+# 3. 获取详细说明
+echo "What are the system requirements?" | leann ask docs --recompute-embeddings
+```
+
+## ⚠️ 重要提示
+
+1. **必须使用 `--recompute-embeddings`** - 这是关键参数，不加会报错
+2. **需要先激活虚拟环境** - 确保有LEANN的Python环境
+3. **Ollama需要预先安装** - ask功能需要本地LLM
+
+## 🔥 立即可用的Claude提示词
+
+```
+Help me analyze this codebase using LEANN:
+
+1. First, activate the environment:
+   cd /Users/andyl/Projects/LEANN-RAG && source .venv/bin/activate.fish
+
+2. Build an index of the source code:
+   leann build codebase --docs ./src --recompute-embeddings
+
+3. Search for authentication patterns:
+   leann search codebase "authentication middleware" --recompute-embeddings --top-k 10
+
+4. Ask about the authentication system:
+   echo "How does user authentication work in this codebase?" | leann ask codebase --recompute-embeddings
+
+Please execute these commands and help me understand the code structure.
+```
+
+## 📈 下一步改进计划
+
+虽然现在已经可以用，但还可以进一步优化：
+
+1. **简化命令** - 默认启用recompute-embeddings
+2. **配置文件** - 避免重复输入参数
+3. **状态管理** - 自动检测环境和索引
+4. **输出格式** - 更适合Claude解析的格式
+
+但这些都是锦上添花，现在就能用起来！
+
+## 🎉 总结
+
+**LEANN现在就可以在Claude Code中完美工作！**
+
+- ✅ 搜索功能正常
+- ✅ RAG问答功能正常
+- ✅ 索引构建功能正常
+- ✅ 支持多种数据源
+- ✅ 支持本地LLM
+
+只需要记住加上 `--recompute-embeddings` 参数就行！
