title: "Overview"
description: "Command map and shared options for the KTX CLI."
---
The `ktx` CLI sets up local projects, builds agent-ready context, checks
connections, queries semantic-layer sources, searches wiki pages, and manages
the bundled Python runtime.
## Command Map
```text
ktx
setup
connection
list
test [connectionId]
ingest [connectionId]
text [files...]
wiki
list
search <query>
sl
list
search <query>
validate <sourceName>
query
status
dev
init [directory]
schema
runtime
install
start
stop
status
```
The public context-build entrypoint is `ktx ingest [connectionId]` or
`ktx ingest --all`. Legacy command shapes such as `ktx scan`, `ktx ingest run`,
`ktx ingest status`, `ktx ingest replay`, `ktx ingest watch`, and
`ktx setup status` are not part of the current public CLI.
## Global Options
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--project-dir <path>` | KTX project directory. Defaults to `KTX_PROJECT_DIR`, then the nearest `ktx.yaml`, then the current working directory. |
| `--debug` | Print diagnostic dispatch and project-resolution details to stderr. |
| `-v`, `--version` | Show the CLI package name and version. |
| `-h`, `--help` | Show help for the current command. |
## Project Resolution
Most commands are project-aware. Pass `--project-dir <path>` when scripting or
when you are outside the project directory. If you omit it, KTX checks
`KTX_PROJECT_DIR`, then walks upward for the nearest `ktx.yaml`, then falls back
to the current directory.
## Common Workflows
```bash
# Start or resume setup
ktx setup
# Check readiness
ktx status
# Build one configured connection
ktx ingest warehouse
# Build every configured connection
ktx ingest --all
# Search semantic-layer sources and wiki pages
ktx sl search "revenue"
ktx wiki search "revenue recognition"
```
