That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
mnemonic
On-device hybrid search for markdown knowledge bases. BM25 + vector + LLM reranking with link graphs, time decay, and HyDE. Designed for pi coding agent.
npm install -g @pi/mnemonic
mne init
mne collection add ~/notes --name notes
mne index
mne embed
mne query "what was the Q4 planning discussion"Features
Hybrid search — BM25 (FTS5) + Vector embeddings + RRF fusion
Structured queries —
intent:,lex:,vec:,hyde:fields for deliberate retrievalQuery expansion — LLM generates alternative phrasings for better recall
HyDE — Hypothetical Document Embeddings
LLM reranking — Cross-encoder re-ranks top candidates with position-aware blending
Link graph — Wikilinks, backlinks, orphan detection, link boosting
Time decay — Exponential recency weighting (favor recent notes)
Tagging — Manual + frontmatter auto-parse
Context tree — Hierarchical metadata (
mne://virtual paths)Smart chunking — Markdown heading-aware boundaries
Dual LLM backend — Ollama (default) or node-llama-cpp (self-contained GGUF models)
