CLI Examples
This guide gives example invocations for the citegeist CLI, including the major option combinations for each command.
Where a topic is named, this guide uses:
- topic phrase:
artificial life - topic slug:
artificial-life - topic name:
Artificial life
Assume:
cd citegeist
export PYTHONPATH=src

Harvest with default metadata prefix:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 harvest-oai https://example.edu/oai
Use an alternate metadata prefix:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 harvest-oai https://example.edu/oai --metadata-prefix mods
Restrict to a set:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 harvest-oai https://example.edu/oai --set artificial-life
Harvest a date range:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 harvest-oai https://example.edu/oai --from 2024-01-01 --until 2024-12-31
Limit harvested records and set review status:

Bootstrap
Seed from a BibTeX file:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --seed-bib artificial-life.bib
Seed from a topic phrase alone:

Use both a seed .bib and a topic phrase:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --seed-bib artificial-life.bib --topic "artificial life"
Store topic metadata while bootstrapping:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 \
bootstrap \
--topic "artificial life" \
--topic-slug artificial-life \
--topic-name "Artificial life" \
--store-topic-phrase "artificial life alife artificial organisms complex systems evolution simulation"
Control topic-search candidate count:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --topic "artificial life" --topic-limit 10
Control how many topic candidates are actually committed:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --topic "artificial life" --topic-commit-limit 5
Disable immediate expansion:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --topic "artificial life" --no-expand
Preview without writing:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --topic "artificial life" --preview
Set review status for imported entries:
.venv/bin/python -m citegeist --db library.sqlite3 bootstrap --topic "artificial life" --status reviewed

Notes
- Some commands depend on live source access.
- For topic-oriented examples, use preview mode before committing changes when possible.
- The older TalkOrigins alias commands remain available, but the example-prefixed names are the preferred surface.
