​
Config & UI

​
pmb config list

Every setting, its value, and where it comes from (--only-overridden).

​
pmb config get | set | reset <key> [value]

Read / change / reset a setting (workspace or --global).

​
pmb dashboard

Local web dashboard on 127.0.0.1:8765: graph, timeline, a live Settings editor (replaces the old tune/tui TUIs), an Errors view, perf, and a recall debugger.
pmb connect --active builds the agent’s proactive rules from the agent.* toggles (log_decisions, log_lessons, apply_lessons, …). Change them, then re-run pmb connect <agent> --active to regenerate.

​
Maintenance

​
pmb regraph · pmb prune-graph · pmb reindex

Rebuild the entity graph; drop weak edges to keep recall fast; re-embed all events (after switching the embedding model).

​
pmb rehearse

Spaced-repetition refresh of important-but-idle memories.

​
pmb session start | end | current | brief

Session management. brief = a digest of what was decided/done/learned this session (also the session_brief MCP tool). end can auto-distill lessons.

​
pmb sync [--days N] · pmb schedule

Capture git commits into memory; print OS scheduler config (cron / schtasks).

​
Ollama (optional, fully local)

​
pmb ollama status | use <profile> | test

Health-check + list models; select a profile (tiny/balanced/quality); smoke-test. Ollama is optional - PMB works fully offline without any LLM.

​
LLM-powered commands

These are the only commands that need an LLM backend (Claude CLI / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / Ollama). They run off the recall hot path - recall itself never calls an LLM.

​
pmb consolidate

Sleep-stage consolidation: cluster related memories, extract one rule per cluster.

​
pmb reflect

For each event, an LLM asks “why does this matter?” and stores searchable bridges for multi-hop queries.

​
pmb distill

Extract durable lessons/failures from a session’s events automatically.

​
pmb arcs cluster

Cluster events into narrative threads (“Postgres adoption journey”).

​
Entity-graph extractor

Swap how event text becomes graph nodes - regex (default, offline), spacy (POS + NER, no LLM), or llm:claude|ollama|codex.
