basemind-stats

Show a quick dashboard of basemind activity in this session: how many code-map tool calls have run, the per-tool histogram, and the estimated tokens saved vs a hypothetical grep+Read baseline. Use when the user asks "what has basemind done?", "how much is basemind helping?", "show me basemind stats", or invokes `/bm-stats` directly.

basemind

Navigate large or unfamiliar codebases via the basemind MCP server — outlines, symbol search, reference/caller lookups, commit history, blame, and diffs without reading source files. Reach for it whenever the user asks "where is X defined", "what calls Y", "what changed recently in Z", or whenever you're about to grep or open many files to find structural information.

multi-agent-room

Orchestrate a team of named subagents in shared threads. One orchestrator drives multiple peers with distinct identities; each subagent sees its own inbox and can cross-check findings by posting to a thread the peer is a member of.

basemind-cli

Navigate codebases and manage caches via the basemind CLI — outlines, symbol search, reference/caller lookups, git history, blame, and diffs. For headless scripting, CI, or when driving the CLI more efficiently than interactive MCP calls. Shares the same index as the MCP server.

basemind-code-search

Find where code is defined and used without reading files — symbol search, file outlines, references, callers, call graphs, implementations, dependents, and indexed regex over content. Reach for it whenever the user asks "where is X defined", "what calls Y", "what implements Z", "what's the shape of this file", or whenever you're about to grep or open files to learn structure.

basemind-comms

Coordinate with other agents working the same repo via basemind's broker — scoped threads, a per-agent inbox, and two-tier messages. Reach for it whenever you start, finish, or hit a decision while collaborating, or to check whether another agent is already touching the code you're about to change.

basemind-doctor

Diagnose and recover basemind when it isn't working — MCP tools missing or erroring, "no index" / "no indexed files", empty results that shouldn't be empty, or the MCP server seems dead. Runs CLI checks (no MCP server required) and gives the client-specific way to reconnect the server.

Data & Documents Solid

basemind-documents

Semantic + full-text search over documents and the web via basemind's RAG store — PDFs, Office, HTML, email, images (OCR), plus scraped/crawled web pages, with cross-encoder reranking, keyword and named-entity (NER) filters, and per-document summaries. Reach for it whenever the user asks to "search the docs / PDFs", "find where a topic is discussed", "pull this URL into context", or "what does the documentation say about X".

Code & Development Solid

basemind-git-history

Explore git history without shelling out to git — recent commits, commits touching a path, per-line and per-symbol blame, structural diffs across revisions, churn ranking, and a symbol's history over time. Reach for it whenever the user asks "what changed recently", "who last touched this", "when did this symbol change", "what's the diff between these revs", or "where's the churn".

basemind-scan

Build or refresh the basemind index by running `basemind scan` via the CLI. Use this when basemind reports "no index" / "no indexed files", when the MCP server isn't available, or after large changes when the index is stale. Works without the MCP server — it shells the basemind binary directly.
