proovance

The shared knowledge layer for AI/ML. Index your work from the terminal, then search the world's AI work the way you search Hugging Face — every result shows the methods, results, and failures behind it.

Install

npm install -g proovance

Requires Node.js 20+.

Use

proovance login                 # browser login → stores a token locally
cd ~/your-ml-project
proovance index                 # summarize this repo and add it to the index
proovance scan                  # find prior work related to the current project
proovance search "memory recall collapses past 8k context"

Your raw source never leaves your machine — only plain-language summaries are uploaded.

Configuration

The CLI talks to the hosted Proovance backend by default. Point it elsewhere (e.g. a local dev server) with an environment variable:

PROOVANCE_API_URL=http://localhost:3001 proovance login

Config and your auth token are stored in ~/.proovance/config.json.
