asobi 0.2.1

A persistent, project-local knowledge graph CLI for AI agents.
Documentation

Asobi

Asobi is a persistent, project-local knowledge graph CLI for AI agents. Agents use it to keep memory, track session state, and share context across conversations — stored in a local libSQL/SQLite file, no server required.

Features

  • Knowledge graph — entities, append-only (capped) observations, and directed relations.
  • Truths — durable key→value facts per entity for current state (status, version); status-as-truth makes a board a single search --where status=….
  • Fast search — search over FTS5 (porter stemming + BM25) with a substring fallback, plus --where key=value truth filters (the query term is optional).
  • Concurrency-safe — WAL + busy_timeout, so a lead agent and dispatched sub-agents can write the same graph without lock errors.
  • Lazy reads — graph/search return truths + counts; show returns the full body. Cheap to load, cheap on tokens.
  • Skills — install reusable agent instructions from a git repo or local path.
  • Document tier (optional, --features documents) — ingest + semantic query over Markdown.

Installation

From crates.io (recommended)

cargo install asobi
# with the optional document tier (semantic ingest + query):
cargo install asobi --features documents

Prebuilt binary (cargo-binstall)

No compile — cargo-binstall pulls the binary from the GitHub release:

cargo binstall asobi

From source

cargo install --git https://github.com/azusachino/asobi

Or build locally with make build (graph CLI) or make build-documents (adds ingest/query/compact). Requires Rust 1.85+, Edition 2024.

Quick Start

asobi init                  # one-time setup (XDG); use --local for a project-scoped graph

# Store and recall context (names are hierarchical, e.g. ame:mobile-support:task-1)
asobi obs "my-project" "Decided to use WAL mode for concurrency"
asobi truth "my-project" "status" "in-progress"
asobi search "WAL"
asobi show "my-project"

Common Commands

  • asobi graph / search <q> / search --where status=READY / show <name>... — read the graph.
  • asobi new <name> <type> --obs "..." / obs <name> "..." — create entities (optionally seeded) and append observations.
  • asobi truth <name> <key> <value> / rm-truth <name> <key> — manage truths.
  • asobi skills install <src> --all / update / skills / skills show <name> — manage skills (--all and update sync, pruning skills dropped upstream; --select is additive).
  • asobi stats / export -o graph.json / import graph.json / reset — inspect & manage.
