ByteRover Knowledge Management

Use the brv CLI to manage your own knowledgebase. ByteRover maintains a context tree that stores patterns, decisions, and implementation details about a project.

IMPORTANT: For headless/automated use, always add --headless --format json flags to get machine-parseable JSON output.

Setup (Headless)

• ByteRover can be fully set up in headless mode. If user has not logged in or initialized .brv/ in the current working directory (check via projectInitialized and and authStatus in brv status --headless --format json response), ask them to provide:

1. API key - for authentication (obtain from https://app.byterover.dev/settings/keys)
2. Team and space - names or IDs for project initialization

Login with API Key

Authenticate using an API key:

brv login --api-key <key>
