| Argument | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
--limit | integer | No | 10 | Number of memories to show |
--project | string | No | All | Filter by project |
--tags | string | No | All | Filter by tags (comma-separated) |
--today | flag | No | - | Show only today's memories |
--week | flag | No | - | Show last 7 days |

| Memory Count | List Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | ~50ms | Instant |
| 100 | ~200ms | Fast |
| 1,000 | ~500ms | Acceptable |
| 10,000+ | ~1s | Use filters |
Optimization tips:
--limit to reduce results--project or --tags filters--today, --week)Cause: Empty database or filters too restrictive
Solution:
# Check total memory count
slm status | grep "Total Memories"
# Remove filters
slm list # No filters
# Try different project
slm list --project default
Cause: Large database, no filters
Solution:
# Use smaller limit
slm list --limit 5
# Add filters
slm list --today --project myapp
# Rebuild indexes
slm build-graph
Cause: System timezone changed
Solution:
# Check system timezone
date
# Timestamps are stored in UTC, displayed in local time
# No action needed usually

Build or rebuild the knowledge graph from existing memories using TF-IDF entity extraction and Leiden clustering. Use when search results seem poor, after bulk imports, or to optimize performance. Automatically discovers relationships between memories and creates topic clusters.
Search SuperLocalMemory for relevant facts, decisions, and past context. Use when the user asks to recall, search, find, or retrieve stored information. Invokes 5-channel retrieval with LightGBM reranking via MCP.
Save content to SuperLocalMemory with intelligent indexing and knowledge graph integration. Use when the user wants to remember information, save context, store coding decisions, or persist knowledge for future sessions. Automatically indexes, graphs, and learns patterns.
Check SuperLocalMemory system status, health, and statistics. Use when the user wants to know memory count, graph stats, patterns learned, database health, or system diagnostics. Shows comprehensive system health dashboard.
Switch between memory profiles for context isolation and management. Use when the user wants to change profile context, separate work/personal memories, or manage multiple independent memory spaces. Each profile has its own database, graph, and patterns.
