- ## 🌟 Why Ruvector?
121
-
122
- ### The Problem with Existing Vector Databases
123
-
124
- Most vector databases force you to choose between three painful trade-offs:
125
-
126
- 1. **Cloud-Only Services** (Pinecone, Weaviate Cloud) - Expensive, vendor lock-in, latency issues, API rate limits
127
- 2. **Python-First Solutions** (ChromaDB, Faiss) - Poor Node.js support, require separate Python processes
128
- 3. **Self-Hosted Complexity** (Milvus, Qdrant) - Heavy infrastructure, Docker orchestration, operational overhead
129
-
130
- **Ruvector eliminates these trade-offs.**
131

192
-
193
- **Windows Installation (without build tools):**
194
- ```bash
195
- # Skip native compilation, use WASM fallback
196
- npm install ruvector --ignore-scripts
197
-
198
- # The ONNX WASM runtime (7.4MB) works without build tools
199
- # Memory cache provides 40,000x speedup over inference
200
- ```
201
-
202
- **Verify installation:**
203
- ```bash
204

205
- ```
206
-
207
- You should see your platform and implementation type (native Rust or WASM fallback).
208
-
209
- ### Step 2: Your First Vector Database
210
-
211
- Let's create a simple vector database and perform basic operations. This example demonstrates the complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) workflow:
212
-
213
- ```javascript
214
- const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
215
-
216
- async function tutorial() {
217
- // Step 2.1: Create a new vector database
218
- // The 'dimensions' parameter must match your embedding model
219
- // Common sizes: 128, 384 (sentence-transformers), 768 (BERT), 1536 (OpenAI)
220
- const db = new VectorDb({
221
- dimensions: 128, // Vector size - MUST match your embeddings
222
- maxElements: 10000, // Maximum vectors (can grow automatically)
223
- storagePath: './my-vectors.db' // Persist to disk (omit for in-memory)
224
- });
225
-
226
- console.log('✅ Database created successfully');
227
-
228
- // Step 2.2: Insert vectors
229
- // In real applications, these would come from an embedding model
230
- const documents = [
231
- { id: 'doc1', text: 'Artificial intelligence and machine learning' },
232
- { id: 'doc2', text: 'Deep learning neural networks' },
233
- { id: 'doc3', text: 'Natural language processing' },
234
- ];
235
-
236
- for (const doc of documents) {
237
- // Generate random vector for demonstration
238
- // In production: use OpenAI, Cohere, or sentence-transformers
239
- const vector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());
240
-
241
- await db.insert({
242
- id: doc.id,
243
- vector: vector,
244
- metadata: {
245
- text: doc.text,
246
- timestamp: Date.now(),
247
- category: 'AI'
248
- }
249
- });
250
-
251
- console.log(`✅ Inserted: ${doc.id}`);
252
- }
253
-
254
- // Step 2.3: Search for similar vectors
255
- // Create a query vector (in production, this would be from your search query)
256
- const queryVector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());
257
-
258
- const results = await db.search({
259
- vector: queryVector,
260
- k: 5, // Return top 5 most similar vectors
261
- threshold: 0.7 // Only return results with similarity > 0.7
262
- });
263
-
264
- console.log('\n🔍 Search Results:');
265
- results.forEach((result, index) => {
266
- console.log(`${index + 1}. ${result.id} - Score: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}`);
267
- console.log(` Text: ${result.metadata.text}`);
268
- });
269
-
270
- // Step 2.4: Retrieve a specific vector
271
- const retrieved = await db.get('doc1');
272
- if (retrieved) {
273
- console.log('\n📄 Retrieved document:', retrieved.metadata.text);
274
- }
275
-
276
- // Step 2.5: Get database statistics
277
- const count = await db.len();
278
- console.log(`\n📊 Total vectors in database: ${count}`);
279
-
280
- // Step 2.6: Delete a vector
281
- const deleted = await db.delete('doc1');
282
- console.log(`\n🗑️ Deleted doc1: ${deleted ? 'Success' : 'Not found'}`);
283
-
284
- // Final count
285
- const finalCount = await db.len();
286
- console.log(`📊 Final count: ${finalCount}`);
287
- }
288
-
289
- // Run the tutorial
290
- tutorial().catch(console.error);
291
- ```
292
-
293
- **Expected Output:**

319
-
320
- ```typescript
321
- import { VectorDb, VectorEntry, SearchQuery, SearchResult } from 'ruvector';
322
-
323
- // Step 3.1: Define your custom metadata type
324
- interface DocumentMetadata {
325
- title: string;
326
- content: string;
327
- author: string;
328
- date: Date;
329
- tags: string[];
330
- }
331
-
332
- async function typescriptTutorial() {
333
- // Step 3.2: Create typed database
334
- const db = new VectorDb({
335
- dimensions: 384, // sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
336
- maxElements: 10000,
337
- storagePath: './typed-vectors.db'
338
- });
339
-
340
- // Step 3.3: Type-safe vector entry
341
- const entry: VectorEntry<DocumentMetadata> = {
342
- id: 'article-001',
343
- vector: new Float32Array(384), // Your embedding here
344
- metadata: {
345
- title: 'Introduction to Vector Databases',
346
- content: 'Vector databases enable semantic search...',
347
- author: 'Jane Doe',
348
- date: new Date('2024-01-15'),
349
- tags: ['database', 'AI', 'search']
350
- }
351
- };
352
-
353
- // Step 3.4: Insert with type checking
354
- await db.insert(entry);
355
- console.log('✅ Inserted typed document');
356
-
357
- // Step 3.5: Type-safe search
358
- const query: SearchQuery = {
359
- vector: new Float32Array(384),
360
- k: 10,
361
- threshold: 0.8
362
- };
363
-
364
- // Step 3.6: Fully typed results
365
- const results: SearchResult<DocumentMetadata>[] = await db.search(query);
366
-
367
- // TypeScript knows the exact shape of metadata
368
- results.forEach(result => {
369
- console.log(`Title: ${result.metadata.title}`);
370
- console.log(`Author: ${result.metadata.author}`);
371
- console.log(`Tags: ${result.metadata.tags.join(', ')}`);
372
- console.log(`Similarity: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}\n`);
373
- });
374
-
375
- // Step 3.7: Type-safe retrieval
376
- const doc = await db.get('article-001');
377
- if (doc) {
378
- // TypeScript autocomplete works perfectly here
379
- const publishYear = doc.metadata.date.getFullYear();
380
- console.log(`Published in ${publishYear}`);
381
- }
382
- }
383

- ## 🎯 Platform Detection
395
-
396
- Ruvector automatically detects the best implementation for your platform:
397
-
398
- ```javascript
399
- const { getImplementationType, isNative, isWasm } = require('ruvector');
400
-
401
- console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' or 'wasm'
402
- console.log(isNative()); // true if using native Rust
403
- console.log(isWasm()); // true if using WebAssembly fallback
404
-
405
- // Performance varies by implementation:
406
- // Native (Rust): <0.5ms latency, 50K+ ops/sec
407
- // WASM fallback: 10-50ms latency, ~1K ops/sec
408
- ```

- #### Hooks Configuration
903
-
904
- The hooks integrate with Claude Code via `.claude/settings.json`:
905
-
906
- ```json
907
- {
908
- "env": {
909
- "RUVECTOR_INTELLIGENCE_ENABLED": "true",

- "RUVECTOR_SECURITY_SCAN": "true"
916
- },
917
- "hooks": {
918
- "PreToolUse": [
919
- {
920
- "matcher": "Edit|Write|MultiEdit",
921
- "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "npx ruvector hooks pre-edit \"$TOOL_INPUT_file_path\"" }]
922
- },
923
- {
924
- "matcher": "Bash",
925
- "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "npx ruvector hooks pre-command \"$TOOL_INPUT_command\"" }]
926
- }
927
- ],
928
- "PostToolUse": [
929
- {
930
- "matcher": "Edit|Write|MultiEdit",
931
- "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "npx ruvector hooks post-edit \"$TOOL_INPUT_file_path\"" }]
932
- }
933
- ],
934
- "SessionStart": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "npx ruvector hooks session-start" }] }],
935
- "Stop": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "npx ruvector hooks session-end" }] }]
936
- }
937
- }
938
- ```
939
-
940
- #### How Self-Learning Works
941
-
942
- 1. **Pattern Recording**: Every edit and command is recorded with context
943
- 2. **Q-Learning**: Success/failure updates agent routing weights
944
- 3. **AST Analysis**: Code complexity informs agent selection
945
- 4. **Diff Embeddings**: Change patterns improve risk assessment
946
- 5. **Coverage Routing**: Test coverage guides testing priorities
947
- 6. **Vector Memory**: Decisions and references stored for semantic recall (HNSW indexed)
948
- 7. **Continuous Improvement**: The more you use it, the smarter it gets

1029
- ### When to Choose Ruvector
1030
-
1031
- ✅ **Perfect for:**
1032
- - **Node.js/TypeScript applications** needing embedded vector search
1033
- - **Serverless and edge computing** where external services aren't practical
1034
- - **Rapid prototyping and development** with minimal setup time
1035
- - **RAG systems** with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom implementations
1036
- - **Cost-sensitive projects** that can't afford cloud API pricing
1037
- - **Offline-first applications** requiring local vector search
1038
- - **Browser-based AI** with WebAssembly fallback
1039
- - **Small to medium scale** (up to 10M vectors per instance)
1040
-
1041
- ⚠️ **Consider alternatives for:**
1042
- - **Massive scale (100M+ vectors)** - Consider Pinecone, Milvus, or Qdrant clusters
1043
- - **Multi-tenancy requirements** - Weaviate or Qdrant offer better isolation
1044
- - **Distributed systems** - Milvus provides better horizontal scaling
1045
- - **Zero-ops cloud solution** - Pinecone handles all infrastructure
1046
-
1047

1058
- - ✅ True Node.js support (not HTTP API)
1059
- - ✅ Better TypeScript integration
1060
- - ✅ Lower memory usage
1061
- - ❌ Smaller ecosystem and community
1062
-
1063

1064
- - ✅ Zero infrastructure setup
1065
- - ✅ Embedded in your app (no Docker)
1066
- - ✅ Better for serverless environments
1067
- - ✅ Native Node.js bindings
1068
- - ❌ No built-in clustering or HA
1069
-
1070

1870
-
1871
- ## 🎨 Advanced Configuration
1872
-
1873
- ### HNSW Parameters
1874
-
1875
- ```javascript
1876
- const db = new VectorDb({
1877
- dimensions: 384,
1878
- maxElements: 1000000,
1879
- ef_construction: 200, // Higher = better recall, slower build
1880
- m: 16, // Higher = better recall, more memory
1881
- storagePath: './large-db.db'
1882
- });
1883
- ```
1884
-
1885
- **Parameter Guidelines:**
1886
- - `ef_construction`: 100-400 (higher = better recall, slower indexing)
1887
- - `m`: 8-64 (higher = better recall, more memory)
1888
- - Default values work well for most use cases
1889
-
1890
- ### Distance Metrics
1891
-
1892
- ```javascript
1893
- // Cosine similarity (default, best for normalized vectors)
1894
- const db1 = new VectorDb({
1895
- dimensions: 128,
1896
- distanceMetric: 'cosine'
1897
- });
1898
-
1899
- // Euclidean distance (L2, best for spatial data)
1900
- const db2 = new VectorDb({
1901
- dimensions: 128,
1902
- distanceMetric: 'euclidean'
1903
- });
1904
-
1905
- // Dot product (best for pre-normalized vectors)
1906
- const db3 = new VectorDb({
1907
- dimensions: 128,
1908
- distanceMetric: 'dot'
1909
- });
1910
- ```
1911
-
1912
- ### Persistence
1913
-
1914
- ```javascript
1915
- // Auto-save to disk
1916
- const persistent = new VectorDb({
1917
- dimensions: 128,
1918
- storagePath: './persistent.db'
1919
- });
1920
-
1921
- // In-memory only (faster, but data lost on exit)
1922
- const temporary = new VectorDb({
1923
- dimensions: 128
1924
- // No storagePath = in-memory
1925
- });
1926
- ```
1927
-
1928

- ## RVF Cognitive Containers
2000
-
2001
- 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.
2002
-
2003
- ### Enable RVF Backend
2004
-
2005
- ```bash
2006
- # Install the optional RVF package
2007
- npm install @ruvector/rvf
2008
-
2009
- # Set backend via environment variable
2010
- export RUVECTOR_BACKEND=rvf
2011
-
2012
- # Or detect automatically (native -> rvf -> wasm fallback)
2013
- npx ruvector info
2014
- ```
2015
-
2016
- ```typescript
2017
- import { getImplementationType, isRvf } from 'ruvector';
2018
-
2019
- console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' | 'rvf' | 'wasm'
2020
- console.log(isRvf()); // true if RVF backend is active
2021
- ```
2022
-
2023

2086
- #### Self-Booting Microservice
2087
-
2088
- A single `.rvf` file that contains vectors AND a bootable Linux kernel:
2089
-
2090
- ```bash
2091
- # Build and run the self-booting example
2092
- cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example self_booting
2093
- # Output:
2094
- # Ingested 50 vectors (128 dims)
2095
- # Pre-kernel query: top-5 results OK (nearest ID=25)
2096
- # Kernel: 4,640 bytes embedded (x86_64, Hermit)
2097
- # Witness chain: 5 entries, all verified
2098
- # File: bootable.rvf (31 KB) — data + runtime in one file
2099
- ```
2100
-
2101
- ```rust
2102
- // The pattern: vectors + kernel + witness in one file
2103
- let mut store = RvfStore::create("bootable.rvf", options)?;
2104
- store.ingest_batch(&vectors, &ids, None)?;
2105
- store.embed_kernel(KernelArch::X86_64 as u8, KernelType::Hermit as u8,
2106
- 0x0018, &kernel_image, 8080, Some("console=ttyS0 quiet"))?;
2107
- // Result: drop on a VM and it boots as a query service
2108
- ```
2109
-
2110
- #### Linux Microkernel Distribution

2175
- ## 🐛 Troubleshooting
2176
-
2177
- ### Native Module Not Loading
2178
-
2179
- If you see "Cannot find module 'ruvector-core-*'":
2180
-
2181
- ```bash
2182
- # Reinstall with optional dependencies
2183
- npm install --include=optional ruvector
2184
-
2185
- # Verify platform
2186
- npx ruvector info
2187
-
2188
- # Check Node.js version (18+ required)
2189
- node --version
2190
- ```
2191
-
2192
- ### WASM Fallback Performance
2193
-
2194
- If you're using WASM fallback and need better performance:
2195
-
2196
- 1. **Install native toolchain** for your platform
2197
- 2. **Rebuild native module**: `npm rebuild ruvector`
2198
- 3. **Verify native**: `npx ruvector info` should show "native (Rust)"
2199
-
2200
- ### Platform Compatibility
2201
-
2202
- - **Alpine Linux**: Uses WASM fallback (musl not supported)
2203
- - **Windows ARM**: Not yet supported, uses WASM fallback
2204
- - **Node.js < 18**: Not supported, upgrade to Node.js 18+

120
+ ## 🌟 Why Ruvector?
121
+
122
+ ### The Problem with Existing Vector Databases
123
+
124
+ Most vector databases force you to choose between three painful trade-offs:
125
+
126
+ 1. **Cloud-Only Services** (Pinecone, Weaviate Cloud) - Expensive, vendor lock-in, latency issues, API rate limits
127
+ 2. **Python-First Solutions** (ChromaDB, Faiss) - Poor Node.js support, require separate Python processes
128
+ 3. **Self-Hosted Complexity** (Milvus, Qdrant) - Heavy infrastructure, Docker orchestration, operational overhead
129

178
+
179
+ ### Step 1: Installation
180
+
181
+ Install Ruvector with a single npm command:
182
+
183
+ ```bash
184
+ npm install ruvector
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ **What happens during installation:**
188
+ - npm automatically detects your platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
189
+ - Downloads the correct native binary for maximum performance
190
+ - Falls back to WebAssembly if native binaries aren't available
191
+ - No additional setup, Docker, or external services required
192
+
193
+ **Windows Installation (without build tools):**
194
+ ```bash
195
+ # Skip native compilation, use WASM fallback
196
+ npm install ruvector --ignore-scripts
197
+
198
+ # The ONNX WASM runtime (7.4MB) works without build tools
199
+ # Memory cache provides 40,000x speedup over inference
200
+ ```
201
+
202
+ **Verify installation:**
203
+ ```bash
204
+ npx ruvector info
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ You should see your platform and implementation type (native Rust or WASM fallback).
208
+
209
+ ### Step 2: Your First Vector Database
210
+
211
+ Let's create a simple vector database and perform basic operations. This example demonstrates the complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) workflow:
212
+
213
+ ```javascript
214
+ const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
215
+
216
+ async function tutorial() {
217
+ // Step 2.1: Create a new vector database
218
+ // The 'dimensions' parameter must match your embedding model
219
+ // Common sizes: 128, 384 (sentence-transformers), 768 (BERT), 1536 (OpenAI)
220
+ const db = new VectorDb({
221
+ dimensions: 128, // Vector size - MUST match your embeddings
222
+ maxElements: 10000, // Maximum vectors (can grow automatically)
223
+ storagePath: './my-vectors.db' // Persist to disk (omit for in-memory)
224
+ });
225
+
226
+ console.log('✅ Database created successfully');
227
+
228
+ // Step 2.2: Insert vectors
229
+ // In real applications, these would come from an embedding model
230
+ const documents = [
231
+ { id: 'doc1', text: 'Artificial intelligence and machine learning' },
232
+ { id: 'doc2', text: 'Deep learning neural networks' },
233
+ { id: 'doc3', text: 'Natural language processing' },
234
+ ];
235
+
236
+ for (const doc of documents) {
237
+ // Generate random vector for demonstration
238
+ // In production: use OpenAI, Cohere, or sentence-transformers
239
+ const vector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());
240
+
241
+ await db.insert({
242
+ id: doc.id,
243
+ vector: vector,
244
+ metadata: {
245
+ text: doc.text,
246
+ timestamp: Date.now(),
247
+ category: 'AI'
248
+ }
249
+ });
250
+
251
+ console.log(`✅ Inserted: ${doc.id}`);
252
+ }
253
+
254
+ // Step 2.3: Search for similar vectors
255
+ // Create a query vector (in production, this would be from your search query)
256
+ const queryVector = new Float32Array(128).map(() => Math.random());
257
+
258
+ const results = await db.search({
259
+ vector: queryVector,
260
+ k: 5, // Return top 5 most similar vectors
261
+ threshold: 0.7 // Only return results with similarity > 0.7
262
+ });
263
+
264
+ console.log('\n🔍 Search Results:');
265
+ results.forEach((result, index) => {
266
+ console.log(`${index + 1}. ${result.id} - Score: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}`);
267
+ console.log(` Text: ${result.metadata.text}`);
268
+ });
269
+
270
+ // Step 2.4: Retrieve a specific vector
271
+ const retrieved = await db.get('doc1');
272
+ if (retrieved) {
273
+ console.log('\n📄 Retrieved document:', retrieved.metadata.text);
274
+ }
275
+
276
+ // Step 2.5: Get database statistics
277
+ const count = await db.len();
278
+ console.log(`\n📊 Total vectors in database: ${count}`);
279
+
280
+ // Step 2.6: Delete a vector
281
+ const deleted = await db.delete('doc1');
282
+ console.log(`\n🗑️ Deleted doc1: ${deleted ? 'Success' : 'Not found'}`);
283
+
284
+ // Final count
285
+ const finalCount = await db.len();
286
+ console.log(`📊 Final count: ${finalCount}`);
287
+ }
288
+
289
+ // Run the tutorial
290
+ tutorial().catch(console.error);
291
+ ```
292
+
293
+ **Expected Output:**
294
+ ```
295
+ ✅ Database created successfully

315
+
316
+ ### Step 3: TypeScript Tutorial
317
+
318
+ Ruvector provides full TypeScript support with complete type safety. Here's how to use it:
319
+
320
+ ```typescript
321
+ import { VectorDb, VectorEntry, SearchQuery, SearchResult } from 'ruvector';
322
+
323
+ // Step 3.1: Define your custom metadata type
324
+ interface DocumentMetadata {
325
+ title: string;
326
+ content: string;
327
+ author: string;
328
+ date: Date;
329
+ tags: string[];
330
+ }
331
+
332
+ async function typescriptTutorial() {
333
+ // Step 3.2: Create typed database
334
+ const db = new VectorDb({
335
+ dimensions: 384, // sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
336
+ maxElements: 10000,
337
+ storagePath: './typed-vectors.db'
338
+ });
339
+
340
+ // Step 3.3: Type-safe vector entry
341
+ const entry: VectorEntry<DocumentMetadata> = {
342
+ id: 'article-001',
343
+ vector: new Float32Array(384), // Your embedding here
344
+ metadata: {
345
+ title: 'Introduction to Vector Databases',
346
+ content: 'Vector databases enable semantic search...',
347
+ author: 'Jane Doe',
348
+ date: new Date('2024-01-15'),
349
+ tags: ['database', 'AI', 'search']
350
+ }
351
+ };
352
+
353
+ // Step 3.4: Insert with type checking
354
+ await db.insert(entry);
355
+ console.log('✅ Inserted typed document');
356
+
357
+ // Step 3.5: Type-safe search
358
+ const query: SearchQuery = {
359
+ vector: new Float32Array(384),
360
+ k: 10,
361
+ threshold: 0.8
362
+ };
363
+
364
+ // Step 3.6: Fully typed results
365
+ const results: SearchResult<DocumentMetadata>[] = await db.search(query);
366
+
367
+ // TypeScript knows the exact shape of metadata
368
+ results.forEach(result => {
369
+ console.log(`Title: ${result.metadata.title}`);
370
+ console.log(`Author: ${result.metadata.author}`);
371
+ console.log(`Tags: ${result.metadata.tags.join(', ')}`);
372
+ console.log(`Similarity: ${result.score.toFixed(3)}\n`);
373
+ });
374
+
375
+ // Step 3.7: Type-safe retrieval
376
+ const doc = await db.get('article-001');
377
+ if (doc) {
378
+ // TypeScript autocomplete works perfectly here
379
+ const publishYear = doc.metadata.date.getFullYear();
380
+ console.log(`Published in ${publishYear}`);
381
+ }
382
+ }
383
+
384
+ typescriptTutorial().catch(console.error);
385
+ ```
386
+
387
+ **TypeScript Benefits:**
388
+ - ✅ Full autocomplete for all methods and properties
389
+ - ✅ Compile-time type checking prevents errors
390
+ - ✅ IDE IntelliSense shows documentation
391
+ - ✅ Custom metadata types for your use case
392
+ - ✅ No `any` types - fully typed throughout
393
+
394
+ ## 🎯 Platform Detection
395
+
396
+ Ruvector automatically detects the best implementation for your platform:
397
+
398
+ ```javascript
399
+ const { getImplementationType, isNative, isWasm } = require('ruvector');
400
+
401
+ console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' or 'wasm'
402
+ console.log(isNative()); // true if using native Rust
403
+ console.log(isWasm()); // true if using WebAssembly fallback
404
+
405
+ // Performance varies by implementation:
406
+ // Native (Rust): <0.5ms latency, 50K+ ops/sec
407
+ // WASM fallback: 10-50ms latency, ~1K ops/sec
408
+ ```
409
+
410

+ ### ⚡ ONNX WASM Embeddings (v2.0)
707
+
708
+ RuVector includes a pure JavaScript ONNX runtime for local embeddings - no Python, no API calls, no build tools required.
709
+
710
+ ```bash
711
+ # Embeddings work out of the box
712
+ npx ruvector hooks remember "important context" -t project
713
+ npx ruvector hooks recall "context query"
714
+ npx ruvector hooks rag-context "how does auth work"
715
+ ```
716
+
717
+ **Model**: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (384 dimensions, 23MB)
718
+ - Downloads automatically on first use
719
+ - Cached in `.ruvector/models/`
720
+ - SIMD-accelerated when available
721
+
722
+ **Performance:**
723
+ | Operation | Time | Notes |
724
+ |-----------|------|-------|
725
+ | Model load | ~2s | First use only |
726
+ | Embedding | ~50ms | Per text chunk |
727
+ | HNSW search | 0.045ms | 150x faster than brute force |
728
+ | Cache hit | 0.01ms | 40,000x faster than inference |
729
+
730
+ **Fallback Chain:**
731
+ 1. Native SQLite → best persistence
732
+ 2. WASM SQLite → cross-platform
733
+ 3. Memory Cache → fastest (no persistence)
734
+
735
+ ### 🧠 Self-Learning Hooks v2.0

940
+ #### How Self-Learning Works
941
+
942
+ 1. **Pattern Recording**: Every edit and command is recorded with context
943
+ 2. **Q-Learning**: Success/failure updates agent routing weights
944
+ 3. **AST Analysis**: Code complexity informs agent selection
945
+ 4. **Diff Embeddings**: Change patterns improve risk assessment
946
+ 5. **Coverage Routing**: Test coverage guides testing priorities
947
+ 6. **Vector Memory**: Decisions and references stored for semantic recall (HNSW indexed)
948
+ 7. **Continuous Improvement**: The more you use it, the smarter it gets

1029
+ ### When to Choose Ruvector
1030
+
1031
+ ✅ **Perfect for:**
1032
+ - **Node.js/TypeScript applications** needing embedded vector search
1033
+ - **Serverless and edge computing** where external services aren't practical
1034
+ - **Rapid prototyping and development** with minimal setup time
1035
+ - **RAG systems** with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom implementations
1036
+ - **Cost-sensitive projects** that can't afford cloud API pricing
1037
+ - **Offline-first applications** requiring local vector search
1038
+ - **Browser-based AI** with WebAssembly fallback
1039
+ - **Small to medium scale** (up to 10M vectors per instance)
1040
+
1041
+ ⚠️ **Consider alternatives for:**
1042
+ - **Massive scale (100M+ vectors)** - Consider Pinecone, Milvus, or Qdrant clusters
1043
+ - **Multi-tenancy requirements** - Weaviate or Qdrant offer better isolation
1044
+ - **Distributed systems** - Milvus provides better horizontal scaling
1045
+ - **Zero-ops cloud solution** - Pinecone handles all infrastructure
1046
+
1047
+ ### Why Choose Ruvector Over...
1048
+
1049
+ **vs Pinecone:**
1050
+ - ✅ No API costs (save $1000s/month)
1051
+ - ✅ No network latency (10x faster queries)
1052
+ - ✅ No vendor lock-in
1053
+ - ✅ Works offline and in restricted environments
1054
+ - ❌ No managed multi-region clusters
1055
+
1056
+ **vs ChromaDB:**
1057
+ - ✅ 50x faster queries (native Rust vs Python)
1058
+ - ✅ True Node.js support (not HTTP API)
1059
+ - ✅ Better TypeScript integration
1060
+ - ✅ Lower memory usage
1061
+ - ❌ Smaller ecosystem and community
1062
+
1063
+ **vs Qdrant:**
1064
+ - ✅ Zero infrastructure setup
1065
+ - ✅ Embedded in your app (no Docker)
1066
+ - ✅ Better for serverless environments
1067
+ - ✅ Native Node.js bindings
1068
+ - ❌ No built-in clustering or HA
1069
+
1070
+ **vs Faiss:**
1071
+ - ✅ Full Node.js support (Faiss is Python-only)
1072
+ - ✅ Easier API and better developer experience
1073
+ - ✅ Built-in persistence and metadata
1074
+ - ⚠️ Slightly lower recall at same performance

+ ### Tutorial 2: Semantic Search Engine
1287
+
1288
+ **What you'll learn:** Build a semantic search engine that understands meaning, not just keywords.
1289
+
1290
+ **Prerequisites:**
1291
+ ```bash
1292
+ npm install ruvector @xenova/transformers
1293
+ ```
1294
+
1295
+ **Complete Implementation:**
1296
+
1297
+ ```javascript
1298
+ const { VectorDb } = require('ruvector');
1299
+ const { pipeline } = require('@xenova/transformers');

1870
+
1871
+ ## 🎨 Advanced Configuration
1872
+
1873
+ ### HNSW Parameters
1874
+
1875
+ ```javascript
1876
+ const db = new VectorDb({
1877
+ dimensions: 384,
1878
+ maxElements: 1000000,
1879
+ ef_construction: 200, // Higher = better recall, slower build
1880
+ m: 16, // Higher = better recall, more memory
1881
+ storagePath: './large-db.db'
1882
+ });
1883
+ ```
1884
+
1885
+ **Parameter Guidelines:**
1886
+ - `ef_construction`: 100-400 (higher = better recall, slower indexing)
1887
+ - `m`: 8-64 (higher = better recall, more memory)
1888
+ - Default values work well for most use cases
1889
+
1890
+ ### Distance Metrics
1891
+
1892
+ ```javascript
1893
+ // Cosine similarity (default, best for normalized vectors)
1894
+ const db1 = new VectorDb({
1895
+ dimensions: 128,
1896
+ distanceMetric: 'cosine'
1897
+ });
1898
+
1899
+ // Euclidean distance (L2, best for spatial data)
1900
+ const db2 = new VectorDb({
1901
+ dimensions: 128,
1902
+ distanceMetric: 'euclidean'
1903
+ });
1904
+
1905
+ // Dot product (best for pre-normalized vectors)
1906
+ const db3 = new VectorDb({
1907
+ dimensions: 128,
1908
+ distanceMetric: 'dot'
1909
+ });
1910
+ ```
1911
+
1912
+ ### Persistence
1913
+
1914
+ ```javascript
1915
+ // Auto-save to disk
1916
+ const persistent = new VectorDb({
1917
+ dimensions: 128,
1918
+ storagePath: './persistent.db'
1919
+ });
1920
+
1921
+ // In-memory only (faster, but data lost on exit)
1922
+ const temporary = new VectorDb({
1923
+ dimensions: 128
1924
+ // No storagePath = in-memory
1925
+ });
1926
+ ```
1927
+
1928
+ ## 📦 Platform Support
1929
+
1930
+ Automatically installs the correct implementation for:
1931
+
1932
+ ### Native (Rust) - Best Performance
1933
+ - **Linux**: x64, ARM64 (GNU libc)
1934
+ - **macOS**: x64 (Intel), ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
1935
+ - **Windows**: x64 (MSVC)
1936
+
1937
+ Performance: **<0.5ms latency**, **50K+ ops/sec**
1938
+
1939
+ ### WASM Fallback - Universal Compatibility
1940
+ - Any platform where native module isn't available
1941
+ - Browser environments (experimental)
1942
+ - Alpine Linux (musl) and other non-glibc systems
1943
+
1944
+ Performance: **10-50ms latency**, **~1K ops/sec**
1945
+
1946
+ **Node.js 18+ required** for all platforms.
1947
+
1948
+ ## 🔧 Building from Source

+ ## RVF Cognitive Containers
2000
+
2001
+ 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.
2002
+
2003
+ ### Enable RVF Backend
2004
+
2005
+ ```bash
2006
+ # Install the optional RVF package
2007
+ npm install @ruvector/rvf
2008
+
2009
+ # Set backend via environment variable
2010
+ export RUVECTOR_BACKEND=rvf
2011
+
2012
+ # Or detect automatically (native -> rvf -> wasm fallback)
2013
+ npx ruvector info
2014
+ ```
2015
+
2016
+ ```typescript
2017
+ import { getImplementationType, isRvf } from 'ruvector';
2018
+
2019
+ console.log(getImplementationType()); // 'native' | 'rvf' | 'wasm'
2020
+ console.log(isRvf()); // true if RVF backend is active
2021
+ ```
2022
+
2023
+ ### RVF CLI Commands
2024
+
2025
+ 8 RVF-specific subcommands are available through the ruvector CLI:
2026
+
2027
+ ```bash
2028
+ # Create an RVF store
2029
+ npx ruvector rvf create mydb.rvf -d 384 --metric cosine
2030
+
2031
+ # Ingest vectors from JSON
2032
+ npx ruvector rvf ingest mydb.rvf --input vectors.json --format json
2033
+
2034
+ # Query nearest neighbors
2035
+ npx ruvector rvf query mydb.rvf --vector "[0.1,0.2,...]" --k 10
2036
+
2037
+ # File status and segment listing
2038
+ npx ruvector rvf status mydb.rvf
2039
+ npx ruvector rvf segments mydb.rvf
2040
+
2041
+ # COW branching — derive a child file
2042
+ npx ruvector rvf derive mydb.rvf --output child.rvf
2043
+
2044
+ # Compact and reclaim space
2045
+ npx ruvector rvf compact mydb.rvf
2046
+
2047
+ # Export to JSON
2048
+ npx ruvector rvf export mydb.rvf --output dump.json
2049
+ ```

+ ### Working Examples: Cognitive Containers
2085
+
2086
+ #### Self-Booting Microservice
2087
+
2088
+ A single `.rvf` file that contains vectors AND a bootable Linux kernel:
2089
+
2090
+ ```bash
2091
+ # Build and run the self-booting example
2092
+ cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example self_booting
2093
+ # Output:
2094
+ # Ingested 50 vectors (128 dims)
2095
+ # Pre-kernel query: top-5 results OK (nearest ID=25)
2096
+ # Kernel: 4,640 bytes embedded (x86_64, Hermit)
2097
+ # Witness chain: 5 entries, all verified
2098
+ # File: bootable.rvf (31 KB) — data + runtime in one file
2099
+ ```
2100
+
2101
+ ```rust
2102
+ // The pattern: vectors + kernel + witness in one file
2103
+ let mut store = RvfStore::create("bootable.rvf", options)?;
2104
+ store.ingest_batch(&vectors, &ids, None)?;
2105
+ store.embed_kernel(KernelArch::X86_64 as u8, KernelType::Hermit as u8,
2106
+ 0x0018, &kernel_image, 8080, Some("console=ttyS0 quiet"))?;
2107
+ // Result: drop on a VM and it boots as a query service
2108
+ ```
2109
+
2110
+ #### Linux Microkernel Distribution
2111
+
2112
+ 20-package Linux distro with SSH keys and kernel in a single file:
2113
+
2114
+ ```bash
2115
+ cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example linux_microkernel
2116
+ # Output:
2117
+ # Installed 20 packages as vector embeddings
2118
+ # Kernel embedded: Linux x86_64 (4,640 bytes)
2119
+ # SSH keys: Ed25519, signed and verified
2120
+ # Witness chain: 22 entries (1 per package + kernel + SSH)
2121
+ # File: microkernel.rvf (14 KB) — immutable bootable system
2122
+ ```
2123
+
2124
+ Features: package search by embedding similarity, Ed25519 signed SSH keys, witness-audited installs, COW-derived child images for atomic updates.
2125
+
2126
+ #### Claude Code AI Appliance
2127
+
2128
+ A sealed, bootable AI development environment:
2129
+
2130
+ ```bash
2131
+ cd crates/rvf && cargo run --example claude_code_appliance
2132
+ # Output:
2133
+ # 20 dev packages (rust, node, python, docker, ...)
2134
+ # Kernel: Linux x86_64 with SSH on port 2222
2135
+ # eBPF: XDP distance program for fast-path lookups
2136
+ # Witness chain: 6 entries, all verified
2137
+ # Crypto: Ed25519 signature
2138
+ # File: claude_code_appliance.rvf (17 KB)
2139
+ ```
2140
+
2141
+ #### CLI Full Lifecycle
2142

2174
+
2175
+ ## 🐛 Troubleshooting
2176
+
2177
+ ### Native Module Not Loading
2178
+
2179
+ If you see "Cannot find module 'ruvector-core-*'":
2180
+
2181
+ ```bash
2182
+ # Reinstall with optional dependencies
2183
+ npm install --include=optional ruvector
2184
+
2185
+ # Verify platform
2186
+ npx ruvector info
2187
+
2188
+ # Check Node.js version (18+ required)
2189
+ node --version
2190
+ ```
2191
+
2192
+ ### WASM Fallback Performance
2193
+
2194
+ If you're using WASM fallback and need better performance:
2195
+
2196
+ 1. **Install native toolchain** for your platform
2197
+ 2. **Rebuild native module**: `npm rebuild ruvector`
2198
+ 3. **Verify native**: `npx ruvector info` should show "native (Rust)"
2199
+
2200
+ ### Platform Compatibility
2201
+
2202
+ - **Alpine Linux**: Uses WASM fallback (musl not supported)
2203
+ - **Windows ARM**: Not yet supported, uses WASM fallback
2204
+ - **Node.js < 18**: Not supported, upgrade to Node.js 18+
