# Brainy CLI 1.0 - Unified Command Interface 🧠 > **One CLI, All the Power - Simplified from 40+ commands to 9** The Brainy 1.0 CLI provides a clean, unified interface to manage your intelligent database. Every command follows the same unified philosophy as the API. ## 🎯 What's New in CLI 1.0 ### **Before (0.x): Command Chaos** ```bash brainy add-smart "data" brainy add-vector --literal "text" brainy search-similar "query" brainy neural-import data.csv # ... 40+ different commands ``` ### **After (1.0): Unified Simplicity** ```bash brainy add "data" # Smart by default brainy search "query" # Unified search brainy import data.csv # Neural import built-in # Just 9 core commands total ``` ## ⚡ Quick Start ### Installation ```bash npm install @soulcraft/brainy@rc ``` ### Initialize Your Brain ```bash brainy init # Interactive setup prompts: # ✓ Storage type (memory, filesystem, S3) # ✓ Encryption (recommended for sensitive data) # ✓ Performance tier (small, medium, large, enterprise) ``` ## 🧠 The 7 Core Data Commands ### 1. `brainy add` - Smart Data Addition ```bash # Smart mode (auto-detects and processes) brainy add "Elon Musk founded SpaceX in 2002" # With metadata brainy add "Customer feedback" --metadata '{"rating": 5, "source": "survey"}' # Encrypted storage brainy add "Sensitive data" --encrypt # Literal mode (bypass AI processing) brainy add "Raw text data" --literal ``` ### 2. `brainy search` - Unified Search ```bash # Semantic search brainy search "companies founded by Elon" # With filters brainy search "customer feedback" --filter '{"rating": {"$gte": 4}}' # Limit results brainy search "AI projects" --limit 5 # Include metadata in output brainy search "projects" --include-metadata ``` ### 3. `brainy import` - Bulk Data Import ```bash # CSV with automatic structure detection brainy import data.csv # JSON files brainy import documents.json --batch-size 100 # With neural processing (detects entities and relationships) brainy import data.csv --neural # Preview mode (analyze without importing) brainy import data.csv --preview-only ``` ### 4. `brainy update` - Smart Updates ```bash # Update by ID brainy update abc123 "Updated content" # Update with new metadata brainy update abc123 --metadata '{"status": "processed"}' # Batch updates brainy update --query "old content" --replace "new content" ``` ### 5. `brainy delete` - Smart Deletion ```bash # Soft delete (default - preserves indexes) brainy delete abc123 # Hard delete (permanent removal) brainy delete abc123 --hard # Delete by query brainy delete --query "outdated content" --confirm ``` ### 6. `brainy add-noun` - Create Typed Entities ```bash # Create person entity brainy add-noun "Sarah Thompson" --type Person # With rich metadata brainy add-noun "Project Apollo" --type Project --metadata '{ "status": "active", "budget": "$500K", "team_size": 12 }' ``` ### 7. `brainy add-verb` - Create Relationships ```bash # Create relationship between entities brainy add-verb person_sarah_123 project_apollo_456 --type WorksWith # With relationship metadata brainy add-verb person_sarah_123 project_apollo_456 --type WorksWith --metadata '{ "role": "Lead Designer", "allocation": "75%", "start_date": "2024-01-15" }' ``` ## 🎮 Interactive Commands ### `brainy chat` - Talk to Your Data ```bash # Start interactive chat session brainy chat # Single question mode brainy chat "What projects is Sarah working on?" # With specific AI provider brainy chat --provider anthropic "Analyze customer sentiment trends" # Export conversation brainy chat --export-session conversation.md ``` ### `brainy status` - System Overview ```bash # Complete system status brainy status # Per-service breakdown brainy status --detailed # Performance metrics brainy status --metrics # Storage utilization brainy status --storage ``` ## ⚙️ Configuration & Management ### `brainy config` - Configuration Management ```bash # View current configuration brainy config show # Set configuration values brainy config set storage.type filesystem brainy config set ai.provider openai # Encrypted configuration brainy config set api_key "secret-key" --encrypt # Reset to defaults brainy config reset ``` ## 🔍 Advanced Examples ### Entity and Relationship Management ```bash # Create a complete knowledge graph brainy add-noun "SoulCraft Labs" --type Organization brainy add-noun "Brainy Database" --type Product brainy add-noun "Sarah Johnson" --type Person # Connect them with relationships brainy add-verb org_soulcraft_123 product_brainy_456 --type Creates brainy add-verb person_sarah_789 org_soulcraft_123 --type WorksFor --metadata '{ "position": "CTO", "start_date": "2023-06-01" }' # Query the graph brainy search "SoulCraft team members" --include-relationships ``` ### Bulk Operations ```bash # Import and process a large dataset brainy import customer-data.csv --neural --batch-size 500 --progress # Update all records matching criteria brainy update --query '{"status": "pending"}' --set '{"status": "processed"}' --confirm # Export data with relationships brainy export --format json --include-relationships --output backup.json ``` ### Production Deployment ```bash # Initialize for production with encryption brainy init --storage s3 --encrypt --performance enterprise # Configure S3 storage brainy config set storage.s3.bucket my-production-brain brainy config set storage.s3.region us-east-1 # Health check for monitoring brainy status --health-check --json ``` ## 🔧 Environment Variables Configure Brainy using environment variables: ```bash # Storage Configuration export BRAINY_STORAGE_TYPE=s3 export BRAINY_S3_BUCKET=my-brainy-data export BRAINY_S3_REGION=us-east-1 # AI Provider Configuration export BRAINY_AI_PROVIDER=openai export BRAINY_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key # Performance Tuning export BRAINY_PERFORMANCE_TIER=large export BRAINY_CACHE_SIZE=1000000 # Security export BRAINY_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-32-char-encryption-key ``` ## 📊 Output Formats All commands support multiple output formats: ```bash # JSON output brainy search "projects" --format json # Table output (default) brainy status --format table # CSV export brainy search "customers" --format csv --output customers.csv # Markdown reports brainy status --format markdown --output report.md ``` ## 🚀 Performance Tips 1. **Use batch operations** for large datasets: ```bash brainy import large-file.csv --batch-size 1000 ``` 2. **Enable caching** for repeated queries: ```bash brainy config set cache.enabled true brainy config set cache.size 100000 ``` 3. **Use filters** to reduce result sets: ```bash brainy search "content" --filter '{"date": {"$gte": "2024-01-01"}}' ``` 4. **Monitor performance** with detailed status: ```bash brainy status --metrics --detailed ``` ## 🆘 Help & Troubleshooting ```bash # Get help for any command brainy --help brainy add --help brainy search --help # Verbose output for debugging brainy search "query" --verbose # Check system requirements brainy status --system-info # Validate configuration brainy config validate ``` ## 🔄 Migration from 0.x CLI | Old Command (0.x) | New Command (1.0) | Notes | |-------------------|-------------------|--------| | `cortex init` | `brainy init` | Same functionality | | `cortex add-smart "data"` | `brainy add "data"` | Smart by default | | `cortex search-similar "q"` | `brainy search "q"` | Unified search | | `cortex neural import file.csv` | `brainy import file.csv` | Neural processing built-in | | `cortex chat "question"` | `brainy chat "question"` | Same interface | | `cortex status --detailed` | `brainy status --detailed` | Enhanced metrics | ## 💡 Pro Tips 1. **Start with init**: Always run `brainy init` in new projects 2. **Use chat mode**: `brainy chat` is the fastest way to explore your data 3. **Enable encryption**: Use `--encrypt` for sensitive data 4. **Monitor status**: Regular `brainy status` checks keep you informed 5. **Batch operations**: Use `--batch-size` for large imports --- *For the complete API documentation, see [Brainy 1.0 Quick Start](getting-started/quick-start-1.0.md)*
