Knowledge-layer commands#
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
source |
add / list / remove / test / enable / disable knowledge-source connectors |
index |
Build the code/dependency graph (--workspace, incremental, --watch) |
connect |
Link repos to Atlassian / Figma / GitLab items (--watch to keep refreshing) |
enrich |
Query connected sources with codebase-derived terms and store enrichment docs (--workspace, incremental) |
embed |
Build semantic-search vectors (zero-config built-in CPU model, Ollama, or an API; incremental, --watch) |
ingest |
Aggregate external docs into the graph + semantic store (built-in files/web/api/mcp sources, or plugins) |
wiki |
LLM-synthesized, council-verified wiki pages (per-repo, or a cluster page with --namespace <prefix> / --namespaces --depth N); --llm builtin\|ollama\|openai\|anthropic\|cli enables the LLM tier inline |
query |
Search the index (--kind, --repo, --as-of <commit>) |
owners |
Likely owners / SMEs for a repo or path, ranked from git history (alias who-knows) |
impact |
Change-impact / blast radius: what depends on a symbol (alias blast-radius) |
graph |
Visualize the graph, offline interactive HTML / DOT / Mermaid / JSON, or a composed namespace C4 diagram with --c4 |
dashboard |
Local knowledge-system dashboard UI (--serve; --sample for a bundled demo) |
eval |
Measure retrieval quality: precision / recall / MRR against a golden-query set |
lint |
Graph health audit: stale repos, dangling edges |
doctor |
Environment check: FTS5, git, glab, the store, embeddings, per-source reachability |
bootstrap |
Run the whole pipeline end to end (sync, index, connect, embed, enrich, wiki, steer) |
serve |
Expose the graph over MCP (stdio or --transport http) |
steer |
Write per-editor steering (AGENTS.md, .mcp.json, and so on) |
The mirror-tier commands (fetch, clone, update, branches, verify, sync, status, audit)
are covered under Mirror repositories.
