VS Code Extension

The l0-memory VS Code extension provides a powerful graphical interface to manage and visualize your memories. It complements the MCP tools by offering a human-friendly way to inspect and edit the store.

Sidebar Panes

The extension adds an l0-memory activity bar icon, which opens a sidebar with two primary views:

1. Pinned

Displays all memories you have marked as pinned. This view provides quick access to your most important context. You can unpin items directly from this pane.

2. Memories

A complete, searchable list of all memories (excluding archived ones).

• Toolbar Actions: Add new memory, Search, Filter by scope, Toggle grouping by scope, Change sort order, and Refresh.
• Grouping: Group memories by scope for easier navigation in large stores.
• Sorting: Sort by recently updated, created, or alphabetically by key.

Context Actions

Right-clicking an item in the tree provides a rich set of actions:

• Open in Editor: Edit the memory value as a standard text file.
• Verify: Mark the memory as current.
• Supersede: Replace the key with a new one while archiving the old record.
• Knowledge Graph: Open the graph viewer rooted at this specific memory.
• Link to...: Interactively create a typed link to another memory.

Knowledge Graph Viewer

The Graph Viewer is a side-by-side webview that renders your memory store as a D3.js force-directed graph.

• Dynamic Interaction: Nodes represent memories, and edges represent links.
• Navigation: Click a node to focus it in the sidebar, or double-click to re-root the graph traversal.
• Controls: Adjust the traversal depth and direction directly from the graph UI.

Status Bar

A status bar item (usually on the right) displays the total count of memories ($(database) l0: N) and the number of pinned items ($(pinned) K). Clicking this item quickly reveals the l0-memory sidebar.

Settings & Discovery

The extension automatically manages the lifecycle of the ltm binary.

• Auto-Discovery: It searches common paths (/usr/local/bin, ~/.local/bin, etc.) and the extension's own bundled binaries.
• Configuration: You can manually set the binaryPath or dbPath in VS Code settings if you use a custom setup.
