elips is a local command-line tool for inspection, maintenance, and EQL execution. No server. The build produces an elips binary you can drop on your PATH.

Shape

bash

elips <command> <db_path> [options]

When creating a new database, pass --dimension (and optionally --metric, --index). Existing databases read their identity from disk.

Inspect

bash

elips info /my_db
elips vaults /my_db
elips stats /my_db
elips verify /my_db          # replay WAL + validate; prints OK / CORRUPT

Query

bash

elips query /my_db --dimension 3 \
  --eql 'place in docs vector [0.1,0.2,0.3] data {"t":"a"}'

elips query /my_db --eql 'seek in docs nearest [0.1,0.2,0.3] top 5 project t yield'
elips query /my_db --file query.eql

Maintenance

bash

elips checkpoint /my_db

Import / Export

JSON Lines, one record per line: {"id","vector","data"}.

bash

elips export /my_db --vault docs --output docs.jsonl
elips import /my_db --vault docs --input docs.jsonl --dimension 3

Benchmark

bash

elips bench /tmp/bench_db --count 100000 --dim 768

Output

query prints one JSON object per result row:

json

{"id":"019e...","distance":0.0061,"data":{"t":"a"}}
