## 🚀 Quick Start Tutorial

### Step 1: Installation

Install Ruvector with a single npm command:

```bash
npm install ruvector
```

**What happens during installation:**
- npm automatically detects your platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- Downloads the correct native binary for maximum performance
- Falls back to WebAssembly if native binaries aren't available
- No additional setup, Docker, or external services required

**Windows Installation (without build tools):**
```bash
# Skip native compilation, use WASM fallback
npm install ruvector --ignore-scripts

# The ONNX WASM runtime (7.4MB) works without build tools
# Memory cache provides 40,000x speedup over inference
```

**Verify installation:**
```bash
npx ruvector info
```

You should see your platform and implementation type (native Rust or WASM fallback).

### Step 2: Your First Vector Database

Let's create a simple vector database and perform basic operations. This example demonstrates the complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) workflow:

```javascript
const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');

async function tutorial() {
  // Step 2.1: Create a new vector database
  // The 'dimensions' parameter must match your embedding model
  // Common sizes: 128, 384 (sentence-transformers), 768 (BERT), 1536 (OpenAI)
  const db = new VectorDb({
    dimensions: 128,           // Vector size - MUST match your embeddings
    maxElements: 10000,        // Maximum vectors (can grow automatically)
    storagePath: './my-vectors.db'  // Persist to disk (omit for in-memory)
  });

  console.log('✅ Database created successfully');

  // Step 2.2: Insert vectors
  // In real applications, these would come from an embedding model
  const documents = [
    { id: 'doc1', text: 'Artificial intelligence and machine learning' },
    { id: 'doc2', text: 'Deep learning neural networks' },
    { id: 'doc3', text: 'Natural language processing' },
  ];

  for (const doc of documents) {
    // Generate random vector for demonstration
    // In production: use OpenAI, Cohere, or sentence-transformers
    const vector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());

    await db.insert({
      id: doc.id,
      vector: vector,
      metadata: {
        text: doc.text,
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        category: 'AI'
      }
    });

    console.log(`✅ Inserted: ${doc.id}`);
  }

  // Step 2.3: Search for similar vectors
  // Create a query vector (in production, this would be from your search query)
  const queryVector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());

  const results = await db.search({
    vector: queryVector,
    k: 5,              // Return top 5 most similar vectors
    threshold: 0.7     // Only return results with similarity > 0.7
  });

  console.log('\n🔍 Search Results:');
  results.forEach((result, index) => {
    console.log(`${index + 1}. ${result.id} - Score: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}`);
    console.log(`   Text: ${result.metadata.text}`);
  });

  // Step 2.4: Retrieve a specific vector
  const retrieved = await db.get('doc1');
  if (retrieved) {
    console.log('\n📄 Retrieved document:', retrieved.metadata.text);
  }

  // Step 2.5: Get database statistics
  const count = await db.len();
  console.log(`\n📊 Total vectors in database: ${count}`);

  // Step 2.6: Delete a vector
  const deleted = await db.delete('doc1');
  console.log(`\n🗑️  Deleted doc1: ${deleted ? 'Success' : 'Not found'}`);

  // Final count
  const finalCount = await db.len();
  console.log(`📊 Final count: ${finalCount}`);
}

// Run the tutorial
tutorial().catch(console.error);
```

**Expected Output:**
```
✅ Database created successfully
✅ Inserted: doc1
✅ Inserted: doc2
✅ Inserted: doc3

🔍 Search Results:
1. doc2 - Score: 0.892
   Text: Deep learning neural networks
2. doc1 - Score: 0.856
   Text: Artificial intelligence and machine learning
3. doc3 - Score: 0.801
   Text: Natural language processing

📄 Retrieved document: Artificial intelligence and machine learning

📊 Total vectors in database: 3

🗑️  Deleted doc1: Success
📊 Final count: 2
```

### Step 3: TypeScript Tutorial

Ruvector provides full TypeScript support with complete type safety. Here's how to use it:

```typescript
import { VectorDb, VectorEntry, SearchQuery, SearchResult } from 'ruvector';

// Step 3.1: Define your custom metadata type
interface DocumentMetadata {
  title: string;
  content: string;
  author: string;
  date: Date;
  tags: string[];
}

async function typescriptTutorial() {
  // Step 3.2: Create typed database
  const db = new VectorDb({
    dimensions: 384,  // sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
    maxElements: 10000,
    storagePath: './typed-vectors.db'
  });

  // Step 3.3: Type-safe vector entry
  const entry: VectorEntry<DocumentMetadata> = {
    id: 'article-001',
    vector: new Float32Array(384),  // Your embedding here
    metadata: {
      title: 'Introduction to Vector Databases',
      content: 'Vector databases enable semantic search...',
      author: 'Jane Doe',
      date: new Date('2024-01-15'),
      tags: ['database', 'AI', 'search']
    }
  };

  // Step 3.4: Insert with type checking
  await db.insert(entry);
  console.log('✅ Inserted typed document');

  // Step 3.5: Type-safe search
  const query: SearchQuery = {
    vector: new Float32Array(384),
    k: 10,
    threshold: 0.8
  };

  // Step 3.6: Fully typed results
  const results: SearchResult<DocumentMetadata>[] = await db.search(query);

  // TypeScript knows the exact shape of metadata
  results.forEach(result => {
    console.log(`Title: ${result.metadata.title}`);
    console.log(`Author: ${result.metadata.author}`);
    console.log(`Tags: ${result.metadata.tags.join(', ')}`);
    console.log(`Similarity: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}\n`);
  });

  // Step 3.7: Type-safe retrieval
  const doc = await db.get('article-001');
  if (doc) {
    // TypeScript autocomplete works perfectly here
    const publishYear = doc.metadata.date.getFullYear();
    console.log(`Published in ${publishYear}`);
  }
}

typescriptTutorial().catch(console.error);
```

**TypeScript Benefits:**
- ✅ Full autocomplete for all methods and properties
- ✅ Compile-time type checking prevents errors
- ✅ IDE IntelliSense shows documentation
- ✅ Custom metadata types for your use case
- ✅ No `any` types - fully typed throughout

## 🎯 Platform Detection

Ruvector automatically detects the best implementation for your platform:

```javascript
const { getImplementationType, isNative, isWasm } = require('ruvector');

console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' or 'wasm'
console.log(isNative()); // true if using native Rust
console.log(isWasm()); // true if using WebAssembly fallback

// Performance varies by implementation:
// Native (Rust):  <0.5ms latency, 50K+ ops/sec
// WASM fallback:  10-50ms latency, ~1K ops/sec
```

### ⚡ ONNX WASM Embeddings (v2.0)

RuVector includes a pure JavaScript ONNX runtime for local embeddings - no Python, no API calls, no build tools required.

```bash
# Embeddings work out of the box
npx ruvector hooks remember "important context" -t project
npx ruvector hooks recall "context query"
npx ruvector hooks rag-context "how does auth work"
```

**Model**: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dimensions, 23MB)
- Downloads automatically on first use
- Cached in `.ruvector/models/`
- SIMD-accelerated when available

**Performance:**
| Operation | Time | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| Model load | ~2s | First use only |
| Embedding | ~50ms | Per text chunk |
| HNSW search | 0.045ms | 150x faster than brute force |
| Cache hit | 0.01ms | 40,000x faster than inference |

**Fallback Chain:**
1. Native SQLite → best persistence
2. WASM SQLite → cross-platform
3. Memory Cache → fastest (no persistence)

#### How Self-Learning Works

1. **Pattern Recording**: Every edit and command is recorded with context
2. **Q-Learning**: Success/failure updates agent routing weights
3. **AST Analysis**: Code complexity informs agent selection
4. **Diff Embeddings**: Change patterns improve risk assessment
5. **Coverage Routing**: Test coverage guides testing priorities
6. **Vector Memory**: Decisions and references stored for semantic recall (HNSW indexed)
7. **Continuous Improvement**: The more you use it, the smarter it gets

### When to Choose Ruvector

✅ **Perfect for:**
- **Node.js/TypeScript applications** needing embedded vector search
- **Serverless and edge computing** where external services aren't practical
- **Rapid prototyping and development** with minimal setup time
- **RAG systems** with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom implementations
- **Cost-sensitive projects** that can't afford cloud API pricing
- **Offline-first applications** requiring local vector search
- **Browser-based AI** with WebAssembly fallback
- **Small to medium scale** (up to 10M vectors per instance)

⚠️ **Consider alternatives for:**
- **Massive scale (100M+ vectors)** - Consider Pinecone, Milvus, or Qdrant clusters
- **Multi-tenancy requirements** - Weaviate or Qdrant offer better isolation
- **Distributed systems** - Milvus provides better horizontal scaling

**Prerequisites:**
```bash
npm install ruvector openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```

**Complete Implementation:**

```javascript
const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
const OpenAI = require('openai');

class RAGSystem {
  constructor() {
    // Initialize OpenAI client
    this.openai = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
    });

    // Create vector database for OpenAI embeddings
    // text-embedding-ada-002 produces 1536-dimensional vectors
    this.db = new VectorDb({
      dimensions: 1536,
      maxElements: 100000,
      storagePath: './rag-knowledge-base.db'
    });

    console.log('✅ RAG System initialized');
  }

  // Step 1: Index your knowledge base
  async indexDocuments(documents) {
    console.log(`📚 Indexing ${documents.length} documents...`);

    for (let i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
      const doc = documents[i];

      // Generate embedding for the document
      const response = await this.openai.embeddings.create({
        model: 'text-embedding-ada-002',
        input: doc.content
      });

      // Store in vector database
      await this.db.insert({
        id: doc.id || `doc_${i}`,
        vector: new Float32Array(response.data[0].embedding),
        metadata: {
          title: doc.title,
          content: doc.content,
          source: doc.source,
          date: doc.date || new Date().toISOString()

      });

      console.log(`  ✅ Indexed: ${doc.title}`);
    }

    const count = await this.db.len();
    console.log(`\n✅ Indexed ${count} documents total`);
  }

  // Step 2: Retrieve relevant context for a query
  async retrieveContext(query, k = 3) {
    console.log(`🔍 Searching for: "${query}"`);

    // Generate embedding for the query
    const response = await this.openai.embeddings.create({
      model: 'text-embedding-ada-002',
      input: query
    });

    // Search for similar documents
    const results = await this.db.search({
      vector: new Float32Array(response.data[0].embedding),
      k: k,
      threshold: 0.7  // Only use highly relevant results
    });

    console.log(`📄 Found ${results.length} relevant documents\n`);

    return results.map(r => ({
      content: r.metadata.content,
      title: r.metadata.title,
      score: r.score
    }));
  }

  // Step 3: Generate answer with retrieved context
  async answer(question) {
    // Retrieve relevant context
    const context = await this.retrieveContext(question, 3);

    if (context.length === 0) {
      return "I don't have enough information to answer that question.";
    }

    // Build prompt with context
    const contextText = context
      .map((doc, i) => `[${i + 1}] ${doc.title}\n${doc.content}`)
      .join('\n\n');

    const prompt = `Answer the question based on the following context. If the context doesn't contain the answer, say so.

Context:
${contextText}

Question: ${question}

Answer:`;

    console.log('🤖 Generating answer...\n');

    // Generate completion
    const completion = await this.openai.chat.completions.create({
      model: 'gpt-4',
      messages: [
        { role: 'system', content: 'You are a helpful assistant that answers questions based on provided context.' },
        { role: 'user', content: prompt }
      ],
      temperature: 0.3  // Lower temperature for more factual responses
    });

    return {
      answer: completion.choices[0].message.content,
      sources: context.map(c => c.title)
    };
  }
}

### Tutorial 2: Semantic Search Engine

**What you'll learn:** Build a semantic search engine that understands meaning, not just keywords.

**Prerequisites:**
```bash
npm install ruvector @xenova/transformers
```

**Complete Implementation:**

```javascript
const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
const { pipeline } = require('@xenova/transformers');

class SemanticSearchEngine {
  constructor() {
    this.db = null;
    this.embedder = null;
  }

  // Step 1: Initialize the embedding model
  async initialize() {
    console.log('🚀 Initializing semantic search engine...');

    // Load sentence-transformers model (runs locally, no API needed!)
    console.log('📥 Loading embedding model...');
    this.embedder = await pipeline(
      'feature-extraction',
      'Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2'
    );

    // Create vector database (384 dimensions for all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
    this.db = new VectorDb({
      dimensions: 384,
      maxElements: 50000,
      storagePath: './semantic-search.db'
    });

    console.log('✅ Search engine ready!\n');
  }

  // Step 2: Generate embeddings
  async embed(text) {
    const output = await this.embedder(text, {
      pooling: 'mean',
      normalize: true
    });

    // Convert to Float32Array
    return new Float32Array(output.data);
  }

  // Step 3: Index documents
  async indexDocuments(documents) {
    console.log(`📚 Indexing ${documents.length} documents...`);

    for (const doc of documents) {
      const vector = await this.embed(doc.content);

      await this.db.insert({
        id: doc.id,
        vector: vector,
        metadata: {

      console.log(`  ✅ ${doc.title}`);
    }

    const count = await this.db.len();
    console.log(`\n✅ Indexed ${count} documents\n`);
  }

  // Step 4: Semantic search
  async search(query, options = {}) {
    const {
      k = 5,
      category = null,
      threshold = 0.3
    } = options;

    console.log(`🔍 Searching for: "${query}"`);

    // Generate query embedding
    const queryVector = await this.embed(query);

    // Search vector database
    const results = await this.db.search({
      vector: queryVector,
      k: k * 2,  // Get more results for filtering
      threshold: threshold
    });

    // Filter by category if specified
    let filtered = results;
    if (category) {
      filtered = results.filter(r => r.metadata.category === category);
    }

    // Return top k after filtering
    const final = filtered.slice(0, k);

    console.log(`📄 Found ${final.length} results\n`);

    return final.map(r => ({
      id: r.id,

  async findSimilar(documentId, k = 5) {
    const doc = await this.db.get(documentId);

    if (!doc) {
      throw new Error(`Document ${documentId} not found`);
    }

    const results = await this.db.search({
      vector: doc.vector,
      k: k + 1  // +1 because the document itself will be included
    });

    // Remove the document itself from results
    return results
      .filter(r => r.id !== documentId)
      .slice(0, k);
  }
}

// Example Usage
async function main() {
  const engine = new SemanticSearchEngine();
  await engine.initialize();

  // Sample documents (in production, load from your database)
  const documents = [

      url: '/docs/deep-learning'
    }
  ];

  // Index documents
  await engine.indexDocuments(documents);

  // Example 1: Basic semantic search
  console.log('Example 1: Basic Search\n' + '='.repeat(60));
  const results1 = await engine.search('AI and neural nets');
  results1.forEach((result, i) => {
    console.log(`${i + 1}. ${result.title} (Score: ${result.score.toFixed(3)})`);

  metadata: { title: 'Document 1' }
});
```

#### search(query: SearchQuery): Promise<SearchResult[]>
Search for similar vectors.

```javascript
const results = await db.search({
  vector: new Float32Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...]),

## 🎨 Advanced Configuration

### HNSW Parameters

```javascript
const db = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 384,
  maxElements: 1000000,
  ef_construction: 200,  // Higher = better recall, slower build
  m: 16,                 // Higher = better recall, more memory
  storagePath: './large-db.db'
});
```

**Parameter Guidelines:**
- `ef_construction`: 100-400 (higher = better recall, slower indexing)
- `m`: 8-64 (higher = better recall, more memory)
- Default values work well for most use cases

### Distance Metrics

```javascript
// Cosine similarity (default, best for normalized vectors)
const db1 = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 128,
  distanceMetric: 'cosine'
});

// Euclidean distance (L2, best for spatial data)
const db2 = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 128,
  distanceMetric: 'euclidean'
});

// Dot product (best for pre-normalized vectors)
const db3 = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 128,
  distanceMetric: 'dot'
});
```

### Persistence

```javascript
// Auto-save to disk
const persistent = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 128,
  storagePath: './persistent.db'
});

// In-memory only (faster, but data lost on exit)
const temporary = new VectorDb({
  dimensions: 128
  // No storagePath = in-memory
});
```

## RVF Cognitive Containers

Ruvector integrates with [RVF (RuVector Format)](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector/tree/main/crates/rvf) — a universal binary substrate that stores vectors, models, graphs, compute kernels, and attestation in a single `.rvf` file.

### Enable RVF Backend

```bash
# Install the optional RVF package
npm install @ruvector/rvf

# Set backend via environment variable
export RUVECTOR_BACKEND=rvf

# Or detect automatically (native -> rvf -> wasm fallback)
npx ruvector info
```

```typescript
import { getImplementationType, isRvf } from 'ruvector';

console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' | 'rvf' | 'wasm'
console.log(isRvf()); // true if RVF backend is active
```

### RVF CLI Commands

8 RVF-specific subcommands are available through the ruvector CLI:

```bash
# Create an RVF store
npx ruvector rvf create mydb.rvf -d 384 --metric cosine

# Ingest vectors from JSON
npx ruvector rvf ingest mydb.rvf --input vectors.json --format json

# Query nearest neighbors
npx ruvector rvf query mydb.rvf --vector "[0.1,0.2,...]" --k 10

# File status and segment listing
npx ruvector rvf status mydb.rvf
npx ruvector rvf segments mydb.rvf

# COW branching — derive a child file
npx ruvector rvf derive mydb.rvf --output child.rvf

# Compact and reclaim space
npx ruvector rvf compact mydb.rvf

# Export to JSON
npx ruvector rvf export mydb.rvf --output dump.json
```

### RVF Platform Support

| Platform | Runtime | Backend |
|----------|---------|---------|
| Linux x86_64 / aarch64 | Node.js 18+ | Native (N-API) |
| macOS x86_64 / arm64 | Node.js 18+ | Native (N-API) |
| Windows x86_64 | Node.js 18+ | Native (N-API) |
| Any | Deno | WASM (`@ruvector/rvf-wasm`) |
| Any | Browser | WASM (`@ruvector/rvf-wasm`) |
| Any | Cloudflare Workers | WASM (`@ruvector/rvf-wasm`) |

### Working Examples: Cognitive Containers

#### Self-Booting Microservice

A single `.rvf` file that contains vectors AND a bootable Linux kernel:

```bash
# Build and run the self-booting example
cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example self_booting
# Output:
#   Ingested 50 vectors (128 dims)
#   Pre-kernel query: top-5 results OK (nearest ID=25)
#   Kernel: 4,640 bytes embedded (x86_64, Hermit)
#   Witness chain: 5 entries, all verified
#   File: bootable.rvf (31 KB) — data + runtime in one file
```

```rust
// The pattern: vectors + kernel + witness in one file
let mut store = RvfStore::create("bootable.rvf", options)?;
store.ingest_batch(&vectors, &ids, None)?;
store.embed_kernel(KernelArch::X86_64 as u8, KernelType::Hermit as u8,
    0x0018, &kernel_image, 8080, Some("console=ttyS0 quiet"))?;
// Result: drop on a VM and it boots as a query service
```

#### Linux Microkernel Distribution

20-package Linux distro with SSH keys and kernel in a single file:

```bash
cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example linux_microkernel
# Output:
#   Installed 20 packages as vector embeddings
#   Kernel embedded: Linux x86_64 (4,640 bytes)
#   SSH keys: Ed25519, signed and verified
#   Witness chain: 22 entries (1 per package + kernel + SSH)
#   File: microkernel.rvf (14 KB) — immutable bootable system
```

Features: package search by embedding similarity, Ed25519 signed SSH keys, witness-audited installs, COW-derived child images for atomic updates.

#### Claude Code AI Appliance

A sealed, bootable AI development environment:

```bash
cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example claude_code_appliance
# Output:
#   20 dev packages (rust, node, python, docker, ...)
#   Kernel: Linux x86_64 with SSH on port 2222
#   eBPF: XDP distance program for fast-path lookups
#   Witness chain: 6 entries, all verified
#   Crypto: Ed25519 signature
#   File: claude_code_appliance.rvf (17 KB)
```

#### CLI Full Lifecycle

```bash
# Create → Ingest → Query → Derive → Inspect
rvf create vectors.rvf --dimension 384
rvf ingest vectors.rvf --input data.json --format json
rvf query vectors.rvf --vector "0.1,0.2,..." --k 10
rvf derive vectors.rvf child.rvf --type filter
rvf inspect vectors.rvf

# Embed kernel and launch as microVM
rvf embed-kernel vectors.rvf --image bzImage
rvf launch vectors.rvf --port 8080

# Verify tamper-evident witness chain
rvf verify-witness vectors.rvf
rvf verify-attestation vectors.rvf
```

#### Integration Tests (46 passing)

cd crates/rvf
cargo test --workspace
# attestation .............. 6 passed
# crypto ................... 10 passed
# computational_container .. 8 passed
# cow_branching ............ 8 passed
# cross_platform ........... 6 passed
# lineage .................. 4 passed
# smoke .................... 4 passed
# Total: 46/46 passed
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Native Module Not Loading

If you see "Cannot find module 'ruvector-core-*'":

```bash
# Reinstall with optional dependencies
npm install --include=optional ruvector

# Verify platform
npx ruvector info

# Check Node.js version (18+ required)
node --version
```

### WASM Fallback Performance

If you're using WASM fallback and need better performance:

1. **Install native toolchain** for your platform
2. **Rebuild native module**: `npm rebuild ruvector`
3. **Verify native**: `npx ruvector info` should show "native (Rust)"

### Platform Compatibility

- **Alpine Linux**: Uses WASM fallback (musl not supported)
- **Windows ARM**: Not yet supported, uses WASM fallback
- **Node.js < 18**: Not supported, upgrade to Node.js 18+
