Terraphim includes a terminal interface with three execution modes:
- Fullscreen TUI (
terraphim-agent) - server-backed interactive UI - REPL (
terraphim-agent repl) - offline-capable by default - CLI subcommands (
terraphim-agent <command>) - offline-capable by default unless--serveris used
Build from the workspace with optional feature flags:
# Build with all features (recommended)
cargo build -p terraphim_tui --features repl-full --release
# Build with specific features
cargo build -p terraphim_tui --features repl,repl-chat,repl-file,repl-mcp --release
# Build minimal TUI (basic functionality only)
cargo build -p terraphim_tui --releaseBinary: terraphim-agent
Set the server URL (defaults to http://localhost:8000):
export TERRAPHIM_SERVER=http://localhost:8000repl- Basic REPL functionality and search commandsrepl-chat- AI chat integration with OpenRouter and Ollamarepl-file- Enhanced file operations with semantic awarenessrepl-mcp- Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools integrationrepl-sessions- AI coding session history search (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider)repl-full- All features enabled (recommended)
# Fullscreen TUI (server-backed)
terraphim-agent
# REPL (offline-capable)
terraphim-agent replUse terraphim-agent repl --server --server-url http://localhost:8000 for server-backed REPL.
REPL mode provides access to all slash commands below:
Navigation and Help:
/help- Show all available commands/quit- Exit the REPL/clear- Clear the screen
Search and Knowledge:
/search "query"- Semantic search with role context/graph- Rolegraph visualization/roles list- List available roles/role select name- Switch role
VM Management (requires Firecracker):
/vm list- List all VMs/vm create name- Create new VM/vm start/stop name- Control VM lifecycle/vm status name- Check VM status
Web Operations (VM-sandboxed):
/web get URL- HTTP GET request/web post URL data- HTTP POST with data/web scrape URL selector- Web scraping/web screenshot URL- Capture screenshot/web history- View operation history
File Operations (semantic analysis):
/file search "query"- Semantic file search/file classify path- Content-based classification/file analyze file- Multi-type analysis/file summarize file- Content summarization/file tag file tags- Semantic tagging
AI Chat:
/chat "message"- Interactive AI conversation
Session Search (requires repl-sessions feature):
/sessions sources- Detect available session sources/sessions import [source] [--limit N]- Import sessions/sessions list [source] [--limit N]- List imported sessions/sessions search "query"- Full-text search across sessions/sessions stats- Show session statistics/sessions show <id>- Show session details/sessions concepts "term"- Knowledge graph concept search/sessions related <id> [--min N]- Find related sessions/sessions timeline [--group day|week|month]- Timeline view/sessions export [--format json|md] [--output file]- Export sessions/sessions enrich [id]- Enrich with knowledge graph concepts
Traditional CLI commands are also supported:
-
Search
terraphim-agent search --query "terraphim-graph" --role "Default" --limit 10
-
Roles
terraphim-agent roles list terraphim-agent roles select "Default"
-
Config
terraphim-agent config show terraphim-agent config set selected_role=Default terraphim-agent config set global_shortcut=Ctrl+X terraphim-agent config set role.Default.theme=spacelab
-
Rolegraph (ASCII)
terraphim-agent graph --role "Default" --top-k 10 # Prints: - [rank] label -> neighbor1, neighbor2, ...
-
Chat (OpenRouter/Ollama)
terraphim-agent chat --role "Default" --prompt "Summarize terraphim graph" --model anthropic/claude-3-sonnet
terraphim-agent(no args) runs fullscreen TUI and requires a reachable server.terraphim-agent replruns REPL offline by default (or server mode with--server).- CLI subcommands (for example
search,config,roles) run offline-capable mode by default. - Uses
/config,/config/selected_role,/documents/search, and/rolegraphendpoints. - Chat posts to
/chat(requires server compiled with openrouter feature and configured role orOPENROUTER_KEY). - VM operations require Firecracker integration and proper system permissions.
- Web operations run in isolated microVMs for security.
- File operations use semantic analysis and content understanding.
- Suggestions source labels from
/rolegraphfor the selected role.
- Firecracker microVM integration for secure isolation
- VM lifecycle management (create, start, stop, delete)
- Resource monitoring and metrics
- VM pool management for scaling
- Secure web requests through VM sandboxing
- HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
- Web scraping and screenshot capture
- PDF generation and content extraction
- Operation history and status tracking
- Semantic file search and classification
- Content analysis and metadata extraction
- File relationship discovery
- Intelligent tagging and suggestions
- Reading time estimation and complexity scoring
- OpenRouter and Ollama model support
- Context-aware conversations
- Role-based AI interactions
- Streaming responses (planned)
- Multi-source support: Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, OpenCode
- Full-text search across all messages and metadata
- Knowledge graph concept enrichment for semantic search
- Related session discovery by shared concepts
- Timeline visualization by day, week, or month
- Export to JSON or Markdown formats
- Session statistics and analytics

/sessions import --limit 100 # Import sessions
/sessions search "rust async" # Search for topics
/sessions concepts "error" # Concept-based search
/sessions timeline --group week # View timeline- Enhanced VM management (snapshots, cloning)
