CLI Reference

IWE provides a powerful command-line interface for managing markdown-based knowledge graphs. The CLI enables you to initialize projects, normalize documents, explore connections, export visualizations, and create consolidated documents.

Quick start

1. Initialize a project: iwe init
2. Create a new document: iwe new "My Note"
3. Normalize all documents: iwe normalize
4. View document paths: iwe paths
5. Analyze your knowledge base: iwe stats
6. Export graph visualization: iwe export dot

Installation and setup

Before using the CLI, ensure IWE is installed and available in your PATH. Initialize any directory as an IWE project:

cd your-notes-directory
iwe init

This creates a .iwe/ directory with configuration files.
