TUI commands

The terminal UI keeps file management, retrieval mode, settings, and evidence inspection in one keyboard-friendly workspace.

Command reference

/clearClear chat history.
/quitExit the TUI.

Watching a directory

/files watch /path/to/directory\n/files list\n/files stop

Changes are debounced and serialized so a burst of filesystem events does not create competing index writes.

Choosing a retrieval mode

Standard RAG is a good default for general questions. Graph RAG adds entity relationships when a question depends on connections across documents.

Inspect the answer

Use source markers to open the originating file, page, or chunk. A mode changes retrieval; it does not remove the evidence trail.
