Link
Local memory for AI agents.
Link gives Codex, Claude, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code, Copilot, Antigravity, and other local agents the same source-backed memory, stored locally as Markdown.

Quick start
brew install gowtham0992/link/link # or: pip install link-mcp
lnk setup # wires every agent you haveThen work normally. Tell an agent "remember that we deploy on Tuesdays", approve it once, and every other agent recalls it in a new session tomorrow.
lnk status # is it wired up and being used?
lnk import claude-code # bring existing memory in
brew install --cask gowtham0992/link/linkbar # macOS menu bar appMemory lives in plain Markdown you can open, and nothing becomes durable without your approval.
What Is Link?
Link is an open-source memory layer for local AI agents. Raw sources become an inspectable Markdown wiki. Explicit "remember this" requests become reviewable memories. Agents retrieve compact, source-backed context through the CLI, MCP, official skills, or the local viewer without dumping the whole wiki into a chat window.
The wiki is the storage layer. The product is durable memory that stays on your machine, remains readable in plain files, and can be shared across multiple agents instead of locked inside one vendor profile.
Ask in your own words; Link matches by meaning, not keywords. All local, all plain files.
How It Works
