Lectern 0.6.0 sharpens the brain, makes providers a click to set up, and documents how the whole thing works.

Smarter, leaner memory

Recall used to return the top-scoring files for any message, so a greeting in a broad workspace could surface unrelated files — noise that also risked sending the agent off to read them.

  • Relevance floor — a file has to clear a similarity threshold to be recalled. Small talk now recalls nothing; genuine matches still surface.
  • Snippets, not whole files — when memory content is actually needed, only the most relevant window of a file enters context. On a typical task that cuts recalled context by roughly 9×.
  • The agentic path already passes recalled paths, not file contents, so the agent reads only what it needs. Memory no longer drains tokens.

One-click provider setup

Each provider in Settings (Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, OpenRouter, Ollama) now expands an OS-aware setup panel: the exact install command for your platform, a Copy button, an auth next-step, and links to the full guide and the provider's official page. For the safe user-space installers (OpenCode, Ollama) there's a one-click Install that runs it and streams the output. The one-click path only runs vetted, hardcoded commands.

Documentation

New feature-level docs at getlectern.vercel.app/docs: chat commands and skill replay, the Conductor and how model routing works, the brain and recall, scheduling, and creating/importing/sharing Hub skills.

Fixes

  • schedule cancel accepts the short id that schedule list prints, and reports a real miss instead of silently succeeding.
  • Recall no longer indexes graphify's own cache into results.
