CLI

dokkai watch

Debounce file changes into incremental re-ingestions while you work.

bash

dokkai watch /absolute/path/to/your-repo
dokkai watch /absolute/path/to/your-repo --debounce 5 --no-describe

Runs an initial catch-up ingest, then watches the repo and debounces file changes into incremental re-ingestions (POST /instances/pipeline, recreate: false). Ignores .git, node_modules, build/venv/data dirs and dotfiles; skips a cycle on a 409; Ctrl-C stops cleanly.

Deterministic UUIDs + the description cache keep each cycle cheap. Leave it running alongside your editor while using srcs against the same project.

Flags

--debounce <seconds> — seconds to wait after the last change before re-ingesting (default 3).
--no-describe — same as ingest's flag, applied on every cycle.
