Version 0.2.4 release

Release v0.2.1

What's New in v0.2.1

Enhanced Tool Discoverability 🎯

This release dramatically improves how Claude Code discovers and uses fd-mcp tools through better descriptions, documentation, and examples.

Added

• 📖 Comprehensive CLAUDE.md: Educational guide with usage patterns, decision trees, and before/after examples showing why fd-mcp tools are better than bash alternatives
• ⚡ Slash commands: Added /find-py, /search-code, /recent, /count-files, and /demo-mcp for quick demonstrations
• 🚀 Claude Code integration guide: Enhanced README with best practices, performance comparisons, and tool selection guidance

Changed

• 🎨 Supercharged tool descriptions: All tool descriptions now feature:
  • Eye-catching emojis and action-oriented language
  • Performance metrics upfront (5-10x faster, 10-100x faster for content search)
  • Clear "WHEN TO USE" sections
  • Inline examples for quick reference
  • Psychological triggers to make tools more discoverable

Documentation Improvements

• Performance comparison tables with concrete speed improvements
• Decision tree for choosing the right tool
• 5 detailed usage patterns with bash vs MCP comparisons
• Advanced tips and best practices
• Quick reference guides and mental model shift guidance

Why This Release Matters

fd-mcp tools are now self-promoting through better descriptions and documentation, making them the obvious choice for file operations in Claude Code without needing restrictive permissions.
