All Commands

Command	Purpose
health	Check API connectivity and health

archive	Browse archived raw captures
session	Package wake-up context for a session or agent
entity	Entity CRUD

Output Formats

sibyl task list              # Table output (default)
sibyl task list --json       # JSON for scripts
sibyl task list --csv        # Spreadsheets

Source Ingestion

sibyl crawl list
sibyl crawl add "https://nextjs.org/docs" --include "docs/**"
sibyl crawl ingest <source_id>
sibyl crawl documents list --source <source_id>

--include is the preferred spelling for crawl filters. --pattern still works for backward compatibility.

Capture And Archive

sibyl recall "ship the SurrealDB-native memory path" --intent build
sibyl capture "Redis TTL mismatch caused the stale auth token bug"
sibyl remember "Token TTL decision" "Keep refresh token TTL longer than access token TTL." --kind decision --domain auth
sibyl remember "Worker routing decision" "Verifier agents run after non-trivial patches." --kind decision --task task_abc
echo "Raw planning notes..." | sibyl reflect --title "Planning session" --persist --review --task task_abc
sibyl archive list --surface cli
sibyl archive show <capture_id>

In a linked project, sibyl remember also links to the single active doing task when exactly one exists. Use --task for explicit links or --no-active-task to capture project memory without a task edge. Persisted sibyl reflect output follows the same task-linking rules for its raw session source and extracted candidates.

sibyl reflect accepts either an argument or stdin. With --persist --review, Sibyl stores the raw notes and extracted candidates in the review queue with source IDs, confidence, extraction metadata, and suggested memory scope. Without --review, persisted reflection follows the server's active write mode. Add --no-source when the raw transcript is too noisy or sensitive, but the extracted candidates should still be saved.

Persisted reflect output prints the source ID when one is stored, the candidate count, and each persisted candidate or review-capture ID:

cat session-notes.md | sibyl reflect --title "Build checkpoint" --intent build --persist --review
cat session-notes.md | sibyl reflect --title "Private checkpoint" --persist --no-source

Context System

# Override for single command
sibyl --context myproject task list
SIBYL_CONTEXT=myproject sibyl task list

# Priority: --context flag > SIBYL_CONTEXT env > active context > path link

Development

moon run cli:lint         # Ruff check
moon run cli:typecheck    # ty
moon run cli:test         # Tests

SilkCircuit Colors

Terminal output uses the SilkCircuit palette:

• #e135ff Electric Purple: Headers
• #80ffea Neon Cyan: Interactions
• #ff6ac1 Coral: Data/IDs
• #50fa7b Success Green
• #ff6363 Error Red

Dependencies

Depends on sibyl-core for shared models.
