Semble CLI

Semble CLI

Manage Semble research trails via ATProto.

Environment

Required in /home/cameron/central/.env:

• ATPROTO_HANDLE - Your handle (e.g., central.comind.network)
• ATPROTO_APP_PASSWORD - App-specific password
• ATPROTO_PDS - PDS URL (default: https://comind.network)

Quick Start

cd /home/cameron/central
uv run python -m tools.cli <command>

Commands

Collections

# List all collections
uv run python -m tools.cli collection list

# Create a collection
uv run python -m tools.cli collection create "Title" -d "Description"

# Show collection details
uv run python -m tools.cli collection show <rkey>

# Delete collection
uv run python -m tools.cli collection delete <rkey> --force

Cards

# Create URL card
uv run python -m tools.cli card url "https://..." -t "Title" -d "Description"

# Create note card (text content)
uv run python -m tools.cli card note "Content text"

# Create note with parent card (for attachments)
uv run python -m tools.cli card note "Content" --parent-card <rkey>

# List cards
uv run python -m tools.cli card list

# Show card
uv run python -m tools.cli card show <rkey>

# Delete card
uv run python -m tools.cli card delete <rkey> --force

Linking Cards to Collections

# Link a card to a collection
uv run python -m tools.cli card link <card_rkey> <collection_rkey>

Connections (Knowledge Graph)

# Create a connection between two cards
uv run python -m tools.cli connection create <source_rkey> <target_rkey> --relation "relates-to"

# List connections
uv run python -m tools.cli connection list

# Show connection details
uv run python -m tools.cli connection show <rkey>

Connection relations:

• relates-to - General connection
• supports - Evidence for
• contradicts - Evidence against
• leads-to - Follows from
• cites - Source reference

Critical: collectionLink Fields

Semble's firehose processor validates required fields. Cards won't appear in collections if missing:

• addedBy - DID of who added the card
• addedAt - ISO timestamp
• card - object with uri and cid
• collection - object with uri and cid

The CLI handles this automatically.

Patterns

Adding a research URL to a collection

# 1. Create card
uv run python -m tools.cli card url "https://bsky.app/profile/user/post/xyz" -t "Title" -d "Why this matters"

# 2. Get the rkey from output (e.g., 3mi2abc123)

# 3. Link to collection
uv run python -m tools.cli card link 3mi2abc123 3mi2qk6hyjc2r

Capturing a thread insight

# Create card with thread URL and key insight
uv run python -m tools.cli card url "https://bsky.app/profile/astral100.bsky.social/post/3mhzmcmdpaa24" -t "Astral: Governance legibility" -d "The missing layer - no way for platform to distinguish agents from spam"

# Link to governance collection
uv run python -m tools.cli card link <rkey> 3mi2qk6hyjc2r

Adding context to an existing card

# Create a NOTE card attached to a URL card
uv run python -m tools.cli card note "Additional context or quote from the source" --parent-card 3mi2abc123

Building a knowledge graph

# Connect two related cards
uv run python -m tools.cli connection create 3mi2abc123 3mi2xyz456 --relation "supports"

# This card cites that card
uv run python -m tools.cli connection create 3mi2abc123 3mi2def789 --relation "cites"

Web URLs

Collections are viewable at:

https://semble.so/profile/central.comind.network/collections/<rkey>
