…1024) The post-install banner advertised `gaia chat init` as the way to "Setup document folder" — but the chat subparser only defines flags (`--query`, `--index`, `--watch`, ...), never a positional `init` action. Following the banner produced `error: unrecognized arguments: init`. Replace the bogus line with three concrete, shell-safe examples that match the user's actual intent (bringing documents into RAG): gaia chat Start interactive chat with RAG gaia chat --index report.pdf Index a PDF for Q&A gaia chat --watch ./docs Auto-index a folder of docs Use `report.pdf` / `./docs` rather than `<placeholder>` syntax — `<` is a reserved redirection operator in PowerShell (the platform on the original report) and would have re-broken the same Windows users on a different parse error. Also fix a CLAUDE.md example that propagated the same fake commands (`gaia chat init`, `gaia chat status`) to anyone training agents off this repo. Replaced with `gaia init --profile chat` and `gaia diagnostics`, which are real and actually diagnostic.
The post-install banner now points users at `gaia chat --watch ./docs` but the docs only documented `--index`. Add a "Watch Folder" example in `docs/guides/chat.mdx` (Tabs alongside Single/Multiple/One-shot/Voice) and `docs/reference/cli.mdx` (CodeGroup alongside the existing chat examples), plus a one-line snippet in `docs/reference/features.mdx`. The `--watch` flag itself was already in the cli.mdx options table — this just adds runnable examples so users following the banner have something to copy.

Before: After
gaia init, the post-install banner advertisedgaia chat initas the way to "Setup document folder". That command never existed — the chat subparser only defines flags (--query,--index,--watch, …). Following the banner's own instructions printederror: unrecognized arguments: initand stopped the user cold (Windows 11 / PowerShell, but reproducible everywhere).After: The banner shows three real, working commands that match the user's actual intent (bringing documents into RAG):
```
gaia chat Start interactive chat with RAG
gaia chat --index report.pdf Index a PDF for Q&A
gaia chat --watch ./docs Auto-index a folder of docs
```
