What it does

Link Memory is an agent skill from gowtham0992/link. Use after important user-approved decisions, when durable context should be proposed or reviewed, and for explicit Link memory lifecycle work: remember, recall, review, update, archive, restore, forget, or explain local memories through the CLI without requiring MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Local personal memory for LLM agents. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/link-memory”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Prime before work
  2. Recall specific memory
  3. End a session with proposal-only memory candidates
  4. Save an explicit memory

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc92f36. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Link Memory loads about 664 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 229 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~664

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use after important user-approved decisions, when durable context should be proposed or reviewed, and for explicit Link memory lifecycle work: remember, recall, review, update, archive, restore, forget, or explain local memories through the CLI without requiring MCP.

Use this skill after important user-approved decisions, preference changes, project conventions, or long work sessions that may deserve durable context. In a source checkout, replace lnk with python3 link.py. Do not silently save durable memory; propose first unless the user directly asks to remember, approves a proposal, or explicitly confirms an important decision should become durable memory.

If Link session hooks are installed for this agent, the memory brief is injected automatically at session start — skip step 1 and go straight to task-specific recall.

  1. Prime before work:

    bash
    lnk brief "<current task>" [link-root]

  2. Recall specific memory:

    bash
    lnk recall "<topic>" [link-root]

  3. End a session with proposal-only memory candidates:

    bash
    lnk session-end <session-notes-or-transcript> [link-root] --limit 3

    Use - as the input when piping a transcript on stdin. Show the proposals to the user; do not save durable memory until the user approves one.

  4. Save an explicit memory:

    bash
    lnk remember "<user-approved memory>" [link-root] --type note --scope user

    Use --project <slug> for project-scoped memory, --visibility private|project|team for sharing intent, --review-after YYYY-MM-DD for stale-risk memories, and --expires-at YYYY-MM-DD for temporary context. When a brief or recall reports a memory backlog (pending captures or reviews above threshold), offer the user a short consolidation pass:

    bash
    lnk consolidate [link-root]

    The plan is read-only: it groups duplicates and recurring themes and prints accept/discard/review commands. Apply an action only after the user approves it.

  5. Review and explain before trusting uncertain memory:

    bash
    lnk memory-inbox [link-root]
lnk explain-memory <name-or-title> [link-root]
lnk review-memory <name-or-title> [link-root]

  6. Change lifecycle safely:

    bash
    lnk update-memory <name-or-title> "<new text>" [link-root]
lnk archive-memory <name-or-title> [link-root] --reason "<why>"
lnk restore-memory <name-or-title> [link-root]
lnk forget-memory <name-or-title> [link-root] --confirm

When duplicate or conflict warnings appear, prefer updating, reviewing, or archiving existing memory over creating another page.

How do I install Link Memory in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add gowtham0992/link --skill link-memory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/link-memory in gowtham0992/link) into .claude/skills/link-memory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Link Memory in Codex?

Run `npx skills add gowtham0992/link --skill link-memory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/link-memory in gowtham0992/link) into .agents/skills/link-memory in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Link Memory in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add gowtham0992/link --skill link-memory -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/link-memory, .gemini/skills/link-memory, .github/skills/link-memory and .opencode/skills/link-memory in your project.

What does Link Memory need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Link Memory needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Link Memory access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Link Memory safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Link Memory use?

Link Memory is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Link Memory use?

About 664 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Link Memory?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Link Memory: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), MCP Server Builder (shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code, 78k stars), MCP Integration for Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars) and Figma use_figma Plugin API Rules (warpdotdev/warp, 65k stars).
