| description | BM25 keyword search for agent-memory. Use when asked to "find exact terms", "keyword search", "search for specific function names", "locate exact phrase", or when semantic search returns too many results. Provides fast BM25 full-text search via Tantivy index. |
Fast full-text keyword search using BM25 scoring in the agent-memory system.
| Use Case | Best Search Type |
|---|---|
| Exact keyword match | BM25 (teleport search) |
| Function/variable names | BM25 (exact terms) |
| Error messages | BM25 (specific phrases) |
| Technical identifiers | BM25 (case-sensitive) |
| Conceptual similarity | Vector search instead |
| Command | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
teleport search | BM25 keyword search | teleport search "ConnectionTimeout" |
teleport stats | BM25 index status | teleport stats |
teleport rebuild | Rebuild index | teleport rebuild --force |
memory-daemon status # Check daemon
memory-daemon start # Start if needed
# Simple keyword search
memory-daemon teleport search "JWT token"
# Search with options
memory-daemon teleport search "authentication" \
--top-k 10 \
--target toc
# Phrase search (exact match)
memory-daemon teleport search "\"connection refused\""
| Pattern | Example | Matches |
|---|---|---|
| Single term | JWT | All docs containing "JWT" |
| Multiple terms | JWT token | Docs with "JWT" AND "token" |
| Phrase | "JWT token" | Exact phrase "JWT token" |
| Prefix | auth* | Terms starting with "auth" |
| Error | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Connection refused | memory-daemon start |
| BM25 index unavailable | teleport rebuild or wait for build |
| No results | Check spelling, try broader terms |
| Slow response | Rebuild index or check disk |

Query past conversations from the agent-memory system. Use when asked to "recall what we discussed", "search conversation history", "find previous session", "what did we talk about last week", or "get context from earlier". Provides tier-aware retrieval with automatic fallback chains, intent-based routing, and full explainability. Includes command-equivalent instructions for search, recent, and context operations.
Agent retrieval policy for intelligent memory search. Use when implementing memory queries to detect capabilities, classify intent, route through optimal layers, and handle fallbacks. Provides tier detection, intent classification, fallback chains, and full explainability for all retrieval operations.
Topic graph exploration for agent-memory. Use when asked to "explore topics", "show related concepts", "what themes have I discussed", "find topic connections", or "discover patterns in conversations". Provides semantic topic extraction with time-decayed importance scoring.
Semantic vector search for agent-memory. Use when asked to "find similar discussions", "semantic search", "find related topics", "what's conceptually related to X", or when keyword search returns poor results. Provides vector similarity search and hybrid BM25+vector fusion.
Wizard-style configuration guidance for a single-agent agent-memory setup. Shows defaults inline, provides a full sample config, and includes a dry-run config check step. Always confirm before creating or editing files.
Wizard-style installation guide for agent-memory (macOS/Linux). Helps users choose an install path, check prerequisites, and set PATH. Always confirm before any file edits or copying binaries. Provide verification commands only.
