Reference
Use this section when you already know what you need to look up. It is denser than the guides: commands, config ownership, files, environment variables, storage model, and script behavior.
Fast lookup
| Need | Start here |
|---|---|
| Exact command groups, read/write behavior, project resolution | CLI reference |
| Packaged service settings, database URL, providers, MCP, retention | Global config |
| Repo markers, user-local project overrides, agent behavior | Project config |
| Runtime and secret variables used by scripts, services, and providers | Environment variables |
| Where config, env files, runtime state, caches, skills, and docs live | Files and directories |
| PostgreSQL table groups, migrations, pgvector, and inspection guidance | Database schema |
| How to interpret success, usage errors, and operational failures | Exit codes |
Source-of-truth rule
The current binary is authoritative for flags and subcommands:
memory --help
memory <command> --help
memory <command> <subcommand> --helpThe markdown docs remain the deeper workflow reference. The website reference should be scriptable and current, not a copy of every guide.
