The Memory Loop

sibyl recall "goal"                          # Agent-ready context before work
sibyl remember "title" "content" --kind decision  # Capture durable memory
sibyl reflect "raw notes" --persist          # Distill notes into candidates
sibyl capture "content"                      # Fast verbatim capture
sibyl search "query"                         # Semantic search
sibyl session bundle                         # Wake up with active context

Task Workflow

sibyl task list --status todo,doing          # List tasks
sibyl task start <id>                        # Start a task
sibyl task complete <id> --learnings "..."   # Complete with learnings

add	Add structured knowledge
capture	Fast verbatim capture from arguments or stdin
note	Add a task note or capture a free note memory

synthesis	Source-grounded synthesis (plan, draft, verify, remember)
archive	Browse archived raw quick captures

Memory governance

Command	Purpose
memory-audit	Inspect memory audit receipts
memory-inspect	Inspect a memory source and its audit trail

System

Command	Purpose
show	Resolve any entity or raw memory by ID
health	Check API connectivity and health
auth	Login, logout, tokens, API keys
org	Organization switching and member management
context	Multi-server context bundles
config	CLI configuration
serve / stop	Start or stop the local embedded daemon
docker	Manage a self-hosted Docker deployment
local	Legacy local Docker stack commands
pending-writes	Inspect and replay locally buffered writes
logs	Tail server logs (requires OWNER role)
debug	Debug tools for development (requires OWNER role)
dev	Devcontainer shell and lifecycle commands
skill	Print or install the canonical Sibyl skill
update	Update Sibyl components
version	Show CLI version information

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.

Capturing Memory

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
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.

Context System

# Override for a 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 and IDs
• #f1fa8c Electric Yellow: warnings and timestamps
• #50fa7b Success Green
• #ff6363 Error Red

Dependencies

Depends on sibyl-core for shared models.
