CLI Companion Status

`ed companion status`

Reports how much the companion currently stores and when an episode was most recently ingested.

Usage:

ed companion status [--json] [--endpoint <url>]

Options:

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--json`	flag	off	Emits one JSON document on stdout.
`--endpoint`	URL	resolution order	Uses this Companion API base URL.

--json shape:

{
  "chunks": 126,
  "claims": 18,
  "episodes": 42,
  "latestIngestedAt": "2026-08-09T08:14:22.301Z",
  "observations": 64,
  "pendingEpisodes": 2,
  "sources": 39
}

sources counts unique ingested contents across notes and binary media, episodes counts appended memory events, and claims and observations count derived records. chunks counts embedded search chunks, and pendingEpisodes counts episodes that have no chunks yet. latestIngestedAt is the most recent ingest time as an ISO 8601 string, or null when no episode exists.

Examples:

$ ed companion status
RESOURCE          COUNT
sources           39
episodes          42
claims            18
observations      64
chunks            126
pending episodes  2
latest  2026-08-09T08:14:22.301Z

$ ed companion status --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:4821 --json
{
  "chunks": 126,
  "claims": 18,
  "episodes": 42,
  "latestIngestedAt": "2026-08-09T08:14:22.301Z",
  "observations": 64,
  "pendingEpisodes": 2,
  "sources": 39
}

Behaviour: this is a read-only GET /v1/status. A bare ed companion runs the same command. If no API answers at the resolved endpoint, stdout stays empty, the diagnostic names that endpoint on stderr, and the command exits 4.
