Documentation

README

Syke

Read the user's memex before doing anything else. It is the current map of what is active, what changed, and where deeper evidence lives.

Canonical memex path: ~/.syke/MEMEX.md

When to Use

  • syke ask: deeper timeline and evidence-backed queries
  • syke memex: fastest read of the current memex
  • syke record: write observations back into memory
  • syke status: quick operational snapshot
  • syke doctor: deeper diagnostic when setup or runtime looks wrong
