Documentation
Everything you need to get started with HelixMind.
Getting Started
Getting Started
Install HelixMind and start coding with persistent AI memory in under 2 minutes.
Authentication
Log in to the HelixMind web platform, manage API keys, and understand feature gating by subscription tier.
Project Setup
Initialize HelixMind in your project. create local memory, configure context, and feed your codebase.
CLI Usage
CLI Reference
Complete reference for all HelixMind CLI commands, flags, and options.
Slash Commands
Complete reference for all interactive slash commands available during a HelixMind chat session.
Autonomous Modes
Let HelixMind scan, fix, and improve your codebase autonomously. security audits, bug fixes, and more.
Three Modes
Jarvis — Autonomous Assistant
Jarvis thinks, plans, and acts on your behalf. in the CLI terminal or the web dashboard. Task queues, proposals, and multi-phase reasoning.
Coding Agent — 22 Tools
Your AI coding partner with 22 built-in tools. in the terminal or the web console. Reads, writes, tests, and commits with persistent spiral memory.
Security Monitor — Guardian
Continuous security monitoring with three protection modes. Scans for vulnerabilities, blocks threats, rotates secrets. in the CLI or the web dashboard.
Core Concepts
Spiral Memory
Deep dive into HelixMind's 6-level spiral memory. how context promotes, decays, compresses, and evolves across sessions.
Brain Visualization
Real-time 3D visualization of your spiral memory. nodes, edges, and live updates as the AI works.
Validation Matrix
How HelixMind validates AI output with a 3-phase pipeline. classify, work, validate. before applying changes.
Permission System
HelixMind's 3-tier permission system. safe, ask, dangerous. and how to control what the AI can do.
Checkpoints & Undo
Automatic snapshots at every operation. browse, compare, and revert any change the AI makes.
Web Knowledge Enricher
How HelixMind automatically fetches relevant documentation and web knowledge while you work.
Bug Tracking & Journal
How HelixMind automatically detects bugs, tracks them across sessions, and maintains a persistent bug journal.
Sessions & Background Tasks
Run multiple AI sessions simultaneously. security audits, autonomous fixes, and more in background tabs.
Browser Automation & Vision
How HelixMind controls Chrome via Puppeteer for web automation, screenshots, and visual analysis.
Web Integration
Integrations
MCP Integration
Use HelixMind's spiral memory in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex, and JetBrains IDEs.
Providers
Configure HelixMind with Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Groq, DeepSeek, Together AI, or OpenRouter.
Ollama & Offline Mode
Run HelixMind fully offline with Ollama. no API key, no data leaves your machine.
Configuration
All HelixMind configuration options. global settings, project context, and environment variables.
Feed Pipeline
Feed files and directories into HelixMind's spiral memory for the AI to learn from your codebase.
Export & Import
Back up, share, and migrate your spiral memory with ZIP archives.
