Link

Link is newly public but already has early adoption signals: 65 GitHub stars, 10 forks, 4 watchers, public distribution through Homebrew, PyPI, and the MCP Registry, plus documentation on GitHub Pages and technical coverage on HackerNoon, Dev.to, Hashnode, RepoRanker, and the Karpathy gist discussion that inspired the project. The audience is developers and AI-agent power users testing local-first memory across Codex, Claude, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code, Copilot, Antigravity, and other MCP or CLI-based workflows. Recent external GitHub issues led directly to the v1.4.0 release, which improved the installed CLI name and added official CLI skills for users who prefer lazy-loaded workflows over MCP setup.

Link is for developers, researchers, technical writers, open-source builders, and agent-heavy teams who use more than one AI assistant and want one local memory layer shared across them. It helps users preserve project context, preferences, decisions, source notes, and reviewable memories in local files instead of locking that knowledge inside one vendor’s hidden cloud memory. It is especially useful for people who want cross-agent continuity while still being able to inspect, cite, edit, archive, or delete what their agents remember.

Other, Python, Markdown, SQLite FTS5, Model Context Protocol (MCP), Homebrew, PyPI, GitHub Pages, local HTTP server, shell and PowerShell installers, plain-file storage, Git-compatible wiki structure, CLI skills, and local-first agent workflows.

Link has public traction across multiple channels: 65 GitHub stars, 10 forks, 4 watchers, a Homebrew tap, a PyPI package, an MCP Registry listing, GitHub Pages docs, HackerNoon coverage, Dev.to/Hashnode posts, RepoRanker review coverage, and release notes shared in the Karpathy gist discussion that originally inspired the project. More importantly, external users have opened concrete GitHub issues after trying the product. Those issues directly shaped Link v1.4.0: the installed CLI moved from `link` to `lnk` to avoid Unix/macOS command conflicts, and official CLI skills were added for users who prefer lazy-loaded agent workflows instead of always configuring MCP.
