arkeon

A knowledge base that runs on your machine. Build a structured knowledge graph that transcends individual repositories — connecting concepts, patterns, and relationships across all of your code and documents.

See the full documentation for details.

Install

npm install -g arkeon

Requires Node.js 18.17+. No Docker, no external services.

Quick start

Open your AI coding assistant in any repository and run:

/arkeon-ingest

This starts Arkeon, analyzes the codebase, and builds a knowledge graph. Repeat in other repos, then run /arkeon-connect to link them together. Skills are installed automatically — currently supports Claude Code, with Cursor and Codex coming soon.

Open http://localhost:8000/explore to see the graph.

CLI

You can also use Arkeon directly from the command line:

arkeon init                # Generate secrets and state directory
arkeon up                  # Start the stack
arkeon status              # Check health
arkeon entities list       # List entities
arkeon search "query"      # Full-text search
arkeon down                # Stop

All API endpoints are available as CLI commands, auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec:

arkeon <resource> <action> [args]

Configuration

export ARKE_API_URL="http://localhost:8000"
export ARKE_API_KEY="ak_..."
export ARKE_SPACE_ID="01ABC..."   # optional: default space

Override the state directory with ARKEON_HOME (default: ~/.arkeon/).
