Vistabase (Implicit Context)

> PREREQUISITE: Read deepvista-shared for auth, profiles, and global flags.

Vistabase is the implicit context layer — automatically accumulated from Chat conversations. It is never directly editable. The AI surfaces relevant context in Chat when appropriate ("I remember you mentioned…"). Users can view and search it, but all updates happen through Chat.

Command: deepvista vistabase

> Backward compatibility: deepvista memory is a deprecated alias that works identically.

Commands

show

deepvista vistabase show [--limit N]

Show a summary of your accumulated memory context.

Read-only. Context is automatically built from Chat — this command never modifies it.

search

deepvista vistabase search "query text" [--limit N]

Search through your memory context using semantic search.

Read-only.

Design Principles

• Always implicit: Vistabase context is only written by Chat — there is no manual write entry point.
• Occasionally surfaces: The AI proactively hints at relevant context during Chat.
• Correctable: Tell the AI in Chat to correct a memory — it will update accordingly.
• Not directly editable: Users can view (CLI) but cannot directly modify entries.

Examples

# View context summary
deepvista vistabase show

# Show more entries
deepvista vistabase show --limit 50

# Search for specific context
deepvista vistabase search "project decisions"
deepvista vistabase search "team meeting Q1"
