 ## Repository configuration
 
-TrueRef supports a repository-local config file named `trueref.json`.
+You can place a `trueref.json` file at the **root** of any repository you index. TrueRef reads it during every indexing run to control what gets indexed and what gets shown to AI assistants.
 
-For compatibility with existing context7-style repositories, `context7.json` is also supported.
+For backward compatibility with repositories that already have a `context7.json`, that file is also supported. When both files are present, `trueref.json` takes precedence.
 
-### What the config controls
+### Where to place it
 
-- project display title
-- project description
-- included folders
-- excluded folders
-- excluded file names
-- assistant-facing usage rules
-- previously released versions
+```
+my-library/
+├── trueref.json   ← here, at the repository root
+├── src/
+├── docs/
+└── ...
+```
 
-### Example `trueref.json`
+For GitHub repositories, TrueRef fetches the file from the default branch root. For local repositories, it reads it from the filesystem root of the indexed folder.
+
+### Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `$schema` | string | No | URL to the live JSON Schema for editor validation |
+| `projectTitle` | string | No | Display name override (max 100 chars) |
+| `description` | string | No | Library description used for search ranking (10–500 chars) |
+| `folders` | string[] | No | Path prefixes or regex strings to **include** (max 50 items). If absent, all folders are included |
+| `excludeFolders` | string[] | No | Path prefixes or regex strings to **exclude** after the `folders` allowlist (max 50 items) |
+| `excludeFiles` | string[] | No | Exact filenames to skip — no path, no glob (max 100 items) |
+| `rules` | string[] | No | Best-practice rules prepended to every `query-docs` response (max 20 rules, 5–500 chars each) |
+| `previousVersions` | object[] | No | Version tags to register when the repository is indexed (max 50 entries) |
+
+`previousVersions` entries each require a `tag` (e.g. `"v1.2.3"`) and a `title` (e.g. `"Version 1.2.3"`).
+
+The parser is intentionally lenient: unknown keys are silently ignored, mistyped values are skipped with a warning, and oversized strings or arrays are truncated. Only invalid JSON or a non-object root is a hard error.

-### JSON schema
+### How `folders` and `excludeFolders` are matched
 
-You can point your editor to the live schema served by TrueRef:
+Both fields accept strings that are matched against the full relative file path within the repository. A string is treated as a path prefix unless it starts with `^`, in which case it is compiled as a regex:
 
-```text
+```json
+{
+	"folders": ["src/", "docs/", "^packages/core"],
+	"excludeFolders": ["src/internal/", "__tests__"]
+}
+```
+
+- `"src/"` — includes any file whose path starts with `src/`
+- `"^packages/core"` — regex, includes only `packages/core` not `packages/core-utils`
+
+`excludeFolders` is applied **after** the `folders` allowlist, so you can narrow a broad include with a targeted exclude.
+
+### How `rules` are used
+
+Rules are stored in the database at index time and automatically prepended to every `query-docs` response for that library (and version). This means AI assistants receive them alongside the retrieved snippets without any extra configuration.
+
+When a version is indexed, the rules from the config found at that version's checkout are stored separately. Different version tags can therefore carry different rules.
+
+Example context response with rules prepended:
+
+```
+RULES:
+- Prefer named imports over wildcard imports.
+- Use the async client API for all network calls.
+
+LIBRARY DOCUMENTATION:
+...
+```
+
+### How `previousVersions` works
+
+When TrueRef indexes a repository and finds `previousVersions`, it registers those tags in the versions table. The tags are then available for version-specific indexing and queries without any further manual registration.
+
+This is useful when you want all historical releases available from a fresh TrueRef setup without manually triggering one indexing job per version.
+
+### JSON Schema for editor support
+
+TrueRef serves a live JSON Schema at:
+
+```
 http://localhost:5173/api/v1/schema/trueref-config.json
 ```
 
-That enables validation and autocomplete in editors that support JSON Schema references.
+Add it to your `trueref.json` via the `$schema` field to get inline validation and autocomplete in VS Code, IntelliJ, and any other editor that supports JSON Schema Draft 07:
+
+```json
+{
+	"$schema": "http://localhost:5173/api/v1/schema/trueref-config.json"
+}
+```
+
+If you are running TrueRef on a server, replace `localhost:5173` with your actual host and port. The schema endpoint always reflects the version of TrueRef you are running.
