-# ClawhDF5 Documentation
+# clawhdf5 documentation
 
-## Getting Started
+Every document in the repository, one line each. Start with the
+[README](../README.md) and the [quick start](QUICKSTART.md).
 
-- **[Quickstart Guide](QUICKSTART.md)** — Get running in 5 minutes. Covers all use cases.
+## Using clawhdf5
 
-## Reference
+| Document | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| [README](../README.md) | What clawhdf5 is, the evidence, the feature matrix, install, quick starts, crate map |
+| [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) | Working examples: HDF5 in Rust and Python, remote files, SWMR, NetCDF-4, `h5rs`, agent memory, CLI |
+| [USE_CASES.md](USE_CASES.md) | Where clawhdf5 fits, and when to use something else |
+| [agent-memory.md](agent-memory.md) | The agent-memory store: search, durability, signing, modules, performance, schema, CLI, SQLite migration |
+| [known-issues.md](known-issues.md) | Open limits and fixed bugs, dated — read before relying on an edge case |
+| [openclaw.md](openclaw.md) | Why clawhdf5 is not an OpenClaw memory plugin, and what one would need |
+| [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md) | Every change by release, with upgrade notes; "Unreleased" is everything since v2.7.0 |

-- **[Roadmap](../ROADMAP.md)** — Implementation status and planned features
+## Evidence
 
-## Use Cases
+| Document | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| [CONFORMANCE.md](../CONFORMANCE.md) | Generated report: 697 public HDF5 files read by clawhdf5 and h5py and compared; the CVE corpus against h5dump and h5py |
+| [conformance/README.md](../conformance/README.md) | How the conformance sweep works and how to run it |
+| [BENCHMARKS.md](../BENCHMARKS.md) | Every measurement with date, machine and command: HDF5 reads and writes, concurrency, deflate backends, search, LongMemEval, footprint |
+| [benchmarks/longmemeval/README.md](../benchmarks/longmemeval/README.md) | Downloading the LongMemEval data |
+| [benchmarks/2026-03-01-oracle-xeon.md](../benchmarks/2026-03-01-oracle-xeon.md) | An early (March 2026) benchmark run on a Xeon server; superseded by BENCHMARKS.md |
 
-- **[Use Cases](USE_CASES.md)** — Detailed scenarios and how ClawhDF5 fits
+## Design
 
-## Architecture
+| Document | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| [design/range-reads.md](design/range-reads.md) | Reading through a `Storage` trait: milestones M1–M5 (storage, raw data, remote files, the browser, SWMR) |
+| [design/swmr.md](design/swmr.md) | Reading files a libhdf5 SWMR writer is appending to (M5) |
+| [design/tools/](design/tools/) | Scripts behind the range-read design's measurements (`inventory.py`, `libhdf5_reads.py`, `range-trace`) |
