TUI

Query tab

The Query tab lets you ask a question in plain language and see which memories match, how they rank, and what evidence backs each result.

Query tab

Asking a question

Press Enter or / to start a new query. Type your question — for example, "What is the main driver for coding agent interaction with Memory Layer?" — and press Enter to search.

The search runs against all active memories using keyword, vector similarity, and graph-aware retrieval in parallel. A progress indicator shows elapsed time while results stream in.

Returned memories

The bottom-left panel lists all matching memories, ranked by relevance. Each row shows:

  • Rank — position in the result set
  • Summary — the memory title
  • Type — memory classification
  • Match — which retrieval strategy found it (keyword, vector, graph, hybrid)
  • Score — the combined relevance score

Use j/k to move between results.

Result detail

Selecting a returned memory shows its full content in the bottom-right panel, including the canonical text, evidence citations, and the retrieval diagnostics that explain why this memory was selected and how it scored.
