# `mix llm_db.build`
[🔗](https://github.com/agentjido/llm_db/blob/main/lib/mix/tasks/llm_db.build.ex#L1)

Builds a canonical `snapshot.json` from configured sources.

The snapshot is always written to a local build output directory. Use
`--install` to also copy it into `priv/llm_db/snapshot.json` for local runtime
loading or packaging.

## Usage

    mix llm_db.build
    mix llm_db.build --install
    mix llm_db.build --check
    mix llm_db.build --output-dir tmp/llm_db/build

## Options

  * `--check` - Verify the generated snapshot artifacts already match the
    expected output.
  * `--install` - Also install the built snapshot into
    `priv/llm_db/snapshot.json`.
  * `--output-dir` - Directory for local snapshot build artifacts.
