In package terms it sits between personal knowledge management and developer workflow tooling. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in 2023, and the crate was published on crates.io soon after. The README describes bkmr as 'Knowledge Management for Humans and Agents' and highlights local full-text and semantic search, JSON output, a built-in LSP server, and structured agent-memory workflows. ### Adoption history bkmr remains a relatively small but active package, distributed through crates.io and Homebrew. Its README notes appearance as This Week in Rust crate of the week 482, which helped place it in the Rust CLI ecosystem. ### How it is used Users add URLs, snippets, shell commands, markdown, text, local files, or agent memories with tags, then search or dispatch them through commands such as search, hsearch, sem-search, add, open, import-files, tags, and lsp. Configuration is generated to ~/.config/bkmr/config.toml, with a local database created by the user. ### Why package nerds care bkmr is interesting because it combines older bookmark-manager and snippet-manager ideas with newer local embeddings and AI-agent memory conventions. For package watchers it is a compact Rust example of the 'local knowledge base as CLI primitive' trend. ### Timeline - 2023: bkmr repository is created on GitHub. - 2023: bkmr crate is published on crates.io. - 2023: The project is featured as This Week in Rust crate of the week 482. - 2020s: bkmr adds agent-memory, semantic-search, JSON, and LSP-oriented workflows. ### Related projects - bkmr overlaps with bookmark managers, snippet managers, local note systems, and command launchers, but differs by exposing its store through a scriptable CLI and JSON output. - The README positions its agent-memory mode as a reusable protocol, including a bundled bkmr-memory skill. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for bkmr. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.config/bkmr/config.toml ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** bkmr - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Productivity CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/productivity-cli-packages/) - Matched curated productivity category metadata from av.db. - [openssl@3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/openssl-3/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [apparix](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/apparix/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [buku](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/buku/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [cdargs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdargs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [intelli-shell](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/intelli-shell/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, snippets. - [jpdfbookmarks](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jpdfbookmarks/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [karakeep](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/karakeep/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [nb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: bookmarks, cli, productivity. - [pet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pet/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, productivity, snippets. - [far2l-tty](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/far2l-tty/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
