Collection Management

Manage the vector database collections that store code embeddings for AI-powered semantic search.

bash

wdg collections <list|delete|validate|clean> [options]

Collection Naming

Collections are isolated and named by what they index:

Collection	Contents
`wdg_framework`	Wikit framework (blocks, core classes, theme utilities, faceted search)
`platform`	Platform code (MCP server, CLI, indexer, Docker configs)
`project_<name>`	Project-specific code, one per project

Collections are created automatically when you index. See Code Indexing for how content gets into them.

List Collections

bash

wdg collections list

Lists every collection currently in the vector database. Running wdg collections with no subcommand also lists.

Delete a Collection

bash

wdg collections delete <collection-name>

Deletes a single collection by name. You are prompted for confirmation (y/N) before anything is removed.

Example:

bash

wdg collections delete project_old_site

Deleting collection: project_old_site
Are you sure? This cannot be undone. (y/N)

To recreate a deleted project collection, re-index the project:

bash

wdg <project> index

Validate Collections

bash

wdg collections validate

Checks the collections against the projects and repositories on disk and reports inconsistencies (for example, collections that no longer have a corresponding project).

Clean Orphaned Collections

bash

wdg collections clean

Removes collections that no longer correspond to anything on disk. By default this runs interactively and prompts before removing. In a non-interactive context, pass --confirm to proceed without prompting:

bash

wdg collections clean --confirm
