The elips binary is your maintenance toolbox. Built from src/ alongside the library.

bash

elips info /my_db
elips vaults /my_db
elips stats /my_db
elips verify /my_db                # replays WAL, prints OK / CORRUPT
elips checkpoint /my_db
elips export /my_db --vault docs --output docs.jsonl
elips import /my_db --vault docs --input docs.jsonl --dimension 768
elips bench /tmp/bench_db --count 100000 --dim 768

Output of elips query is one JSON object per result row — pipe it through jq, store it in files, diff between runs.
