CLI Overview¶

The CLI has two groups of commands.

Host-only commands¶

These work on local files, Docker, or config:

lerim init
lerim project
lerim connect
lerim mcp
lerim up
lerim down
lerim logs
lerim trace import
lerim profile list
lerim profile show
lerim profile validate
lerim profile register
lerim query
lerim queue
lerim retry
lerim skip
lerim skill
lerim auth
lerim context-brief show
lerim context-brief status
lerim context-brief path
lerim context-brief refresh
lerim working-memory show
lerim working-memory status
lerim working-memory path
lerim working-memory refresh
lerim clinic show
lerim clinic status
lerim clinic path
lerim clinic refresh
lerim context records

Server-backed commands¶

These talk to the running Lerim service:

lerim ingest
lerim curate
lerim answer
lerim status
lerim unscoped

Durable context¶

The CLI works with the global context database. Project commands register scope only.

Context Brief is a generated long-term Markdown view of the global context database. Working Memory is a separate short-term generated view of recent record-version movement. Both are useful at agent startup, but ~/.lerim/context.sqlite3 remains the source of truth.

lerim skill has two roles: it installs Lerim's own agent skill, and it registers external skill or instruction targets that Lerim can monitor for evidence-backed update proposals.
