sibyl-memory-cli

Command-line interface for the Sibyl Memory Plugin.

pip install sibyl-memory-cli

This pulls in sibyl-memory-client (the local SDK) and sibyl-memory-hermes (the Hermes provider) automatically.

Commands

sibyl init                    Open the browser activation page. Writes ~/.sibyl-memory/credentials.json.
sibyl migrate                 Guided onboarding: back up your existing memory/agent files, wire Sibyl
                              into every detected harness, populate Sibyl Memory from the backup, and
                              optionally slim the originals. Backup-first, never destructive.
sibyl setup [target]          Wire Sibyl as the memory provider for Hermes, Claude Code, and/or Codex.
                              target is one of: hermes | claude-code | codex (default: detect all).
sibyl status                  Show local credentials, DB size, and the server's view of your tier.
sibyl whoami                  One-line account summary (masked by default).
sibyl devices                 List the devices (active tokens) bound to your account.
sibyl devices revoke N        Revoke a device by index (run `sibyl devices` to see the indexes).
sibyl dashboard               Open the account dashboard (delegates to `sibyl status` for now).
sibyl upgrade                 Open the tier/billing flow: stake $SIBYL or subscribe in USDC.
sibyl update                  Check PyPI for newer sibyl-memory-* package releases.
sibyl update --apply          Update the installed Sibyl packages in place (pip install -U). This is the
                              canonical way to update the plugin, distinct from `sibyl upgrade` (which is
                              the tier/billing flow, not a package update).
sibyl health                  Run the SibylMemoryProvider self-check (schema version, DB path, tenant).
sibyl logout                  Remove local credentials (your memory.db is left untouched).
sibyl memory list [category]  List stored entities, optionally filtered by category (--limit N).
sibyl memory search <query>   Full-text search across entities, state, reference, and journal (--limit N).
sibyl memory recall <cat> <name>
                              Recall a single entity by category + name.

Migrate (guided onboarding)

$ sibyl migrate

sibyl migrate moves your accumulated agent memory into Sibyl without risking your existing files:

1. Back up first. Every memory/agent file it finds (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .codex/config.toml, .hermes/*, and similar) is copied to a timestamped backup folder and byte-verified before anything else happens.
2. Wire Sibyl into every detected harness — Claude Code (via claude mcp add --scope user), Codex (via ~/.codex/config.toml), Hermes.
3. Extract — it prints a prompt you run in your own agent. The agent reads only from the backup and writes structured memory through the sibyl-memory tool. The extraction runs locally on your machine; Sibyl Labs never sees your files or memory.
4. Verify the new entries that landed in your local DB.
5. Optionally trim the originals — only if you confirm, and only because a verified backup exists. Your full pre-migration files are always preserved.

Flags: --backup-dir PATH (default: home), --no-debloat (skip the trim step), --yes (skip the initial confirm; the trim step still asks separately).

No warranty. Keep your backup until you've confirmed everything migrated. Sibyl Labs is not responsible for data loss.

Activation

$ sibyl init

  Sibyl Memory Plugin · activation

  Session:     a1b2c3d4…e5f6
  Opening:     https://sibyllabs.org/plugin/activate?session=a1b2c3d4-…

  Sign in with your wallet in the browser. This terminal will pick up automatically.

  ⠹ waiting for browser activation … 9:42 left

The browser opens. Sign a SIWE message with your wallet. The terminal picks up the moment the binding lands. Credentials are written to ~/.sibyl-memory/credentials.json at mode 0600.

Upgrade

$ sibyl upgrade

  Sibyl Memory Plugin · upgrade

  Account            a1b2c3d4…e5f6
  Current tier       FREE
  Opening            https://sibyllabs.org/plugin/upgrade?session=…

  Two paths in your browser:
    1. Stake $SIBYL on Base (free unlimited if you qualify)
    2. Subscribe in USDC (monthly / quarterly / annual)

In the browser:

• Stake: connect your wallet (browser or Coinbase Smart Wallet), sign to bind, and the page checks your $SIBYL balance on Base. If you hold the threshold (default 100,000 $SIBYL liquid+staked, configurable), the local cap lifts.
• Subscribe: pick monthly ($29) / quarterly ($79) / annual ($290) USDC, sign the transfer, the server records the subscription. Tier flips immediately.

On either path, the CLI sees the tier change, rewrites credentials.json, and clears tier_cache.json so your next write picks up the new entitlement without delay.

Security

• credentials.json is written atomically at mode 0600.
• session_token is never printed in full: only a short slice.
• No memory content ever transits these endpoints. The CLI never reads memory.db content; it only checks file size.
• Wallet operations happen in the browser. The CLI sees only the resulting tier change.
