Commands
Daemon Control
start
Start the auto-discovery daemon
Usage:
ai-discovery start [OPTIONS]
Options:
-f, --foreground: Run the watch loop in this terminal instead of detaching (blocks until Ctrl+C)--json: Emit status, mode, binaries_watched, commands_indexed, pid and already_running as JSON
Examples:
sudo ai-discovery start
sudo ai-discovery start --foreground
sudo ai-discovery start --json
status
Show daemon status
Usage:
ai-discovery status [OPTIONS]
Options:
--json: Emit the status envelope as JSON (running, pid, binaries_watched, watch_paths)
Examples:
ai-discovery status
ai-discovery status --json
Registry Management
reindex
Force reindex all binaries
Usage:
ai-discovery reindex [OPTIONS]
Options:
--service <NAME>: Reindex only this service. NAME is the deployed binary filename and must match exactly--json: Emit status, binaries_scanned, commands_indexed and errors as JSON
Examples:
ai-discovery reindex
ai-discovery reindex --json
ai-discovery reindex --service health-control
Operational Scenarios
Scenario-oriented workflows generated from the binary's built-in -e --json examples.
Scenario 1: Quick Start
The three things you will actually run: check the daemon, start it, reindex.
Step 1: Check whether the discovery daemon is running
ai-discovery status
Step 2: Start the daemon in the background
sudo ai-discovery start
Note
Needs root: the PID file and daemon log are written under the install directory.
Step 3: Rescan every watched binary and count its commands
ai-discovery reindex
Scenario 2: Daemon Control
Start the auto-discovery daemon and check its state. The daemon watches the deployed Rust service binaries and re-reads their command lists when they change.
Step 1: Start the daemon detached in the background
sudo ai-discovery start
Note
Needs root (writes the PID file and log under the install directory). If a daemon is already running its PID is reused and 'Existing daemon reused' is printed.
Step 2: Run the watch loop in this terminal instead of detaching
sudo ai-discovery start --foreground
Note
Blocks until Ctrl+C. -f is the short form of --foreground.
Step 3: Start in the background and get the result as JSON
sudo ai-discovery start --json
Step 4: Check daemon liveness and the watch configuration
ai-discovery status
Note
Liveness is read from the PID file plus /proc, so a stale PID file still reports Stopped.
Step 5: Machine-readable daemon status for scripts and the dashboard
ai-discovery status --json
Scenario 3: Registry Management
Force a rescan of the watched binaries. Each binary is invoked with -e --json and its commands are extracted and deduplicated.
Step 1: Reindex every watched Rust service binary
ai-discovery reindex
Note
Per-binary progress goes to stderr so it does not pollute --json on stdout.
Step 2: Reindex everything and capture the totals as JSON
ai-discovery reindex --json
Step 3: Reindex a single service instead of the whole set
ai-discovery reindex --service health-control
Note
--service takes the deployed binary FILENAME and must match exactly. A name outside the configured indexable set is rejected before scanning.
Step 4: Targeted reindex of one service with structured output
ai-discovery reindex --service ai-monitor --json
