memstead-cli

Command-line interface for Memstead — the schema-agnostic graph engine that gives AI agents a durable, typed memory stored as plain markdown in git.

The memstead binary queries and mutates typed entity graphs from the shell: bootstrap a workspace (memstead quickstart), create and search entities, manage mems and schemas (memstead mem <verb>, memstead schema new), inspect history, and publish/install packaged mems.

Install

From the GitHub release (installer script or Homebrew — see the repo README), or from this repo:

cargo install --path crates/memstead-cli

Once the crate is published to crates.io, cargo install memstead-cli will work too. Either way this installs the memstead binary. The default build is the full surface (multi-mem, git-backed via the mem-repo feature); --no-default-features builds the lean folder-only surface.

Start

mkdir my-graph && cd my-graph
memstead quickstart

(On the v0.1.0 release binaries, which predate quickstart, use memstead init --name my-graph --schema default@1.0.0 instead.)

One run leaves a working graph: a workspace, a mem pinned to the built-in default schema, a seed entity, and MCP wiring for the agent targets you pick. Full documentation lives at the Memstead repository.
