CLI Knowledge & Context
The CLI is one of the clearest ways to see what Gestura already knows, what knowledge items are available, and how the context system is classifying a request before execution begins.
Knowledge commands
gestura knowledge list: list knowledge items.gestura knowledge show <id>: inspect one knowledge item.gestura knowledge search <query>: search relevant expertise.gestura knowledge categories: list knowledge categories when supported by your build.gestura knowledge status: check knowledge system status.
Context commands
gestura context analyze <request>: inspect how Gestura categorizes a request.gestura context status: show context-system status.gestura context categories: list known context categories.gestura context clear: clear context caches.
When these commands are useful
- You want to verify that built-in expertise is available.
- You want to inspect which knowledge item matched a topic.
- You want to understand why a request is being framed a certain way.
- You are debugging context drift, stale matches, or retrieval confusion.
Practical habit
If a task feels under-informed, start by checking the knowledge and context surfaces before changing models or permission levels. Many apparent reasoning problems are really knowledge-selection or context-shaping problems.
Version note
Some builds expose slightly different subcommands. If a command here is unavailable, run gestura knowledge --help or gestura context --help and follow the command surface your install exposes.
