Use case
Shared team memory for Claude Code.
Claude Code remembers things for you. A teammate’s Claude Code doesn’t see them unless you carry them over. Here is how teams share what their agents learn, from files in the repo to a hosted memory, using only what each option says on its own public page.
What Claude Code remembers
Anthropic’s memory docs (read on November 10, 2026) describe two things that carry knowledge across sessions. CLAUDE.md files are instructions you write. The project file is listed as team-shared instructions for the project. Auto memory is notes Claude writes itself, and the docs say it is machine-local: its files are not shared across machines.
That leaves a gap that people ask about. An open feature request on the Claude Code tracker (read on November 10, 2026) puts it this way: “Claude Code’s memory system is individual-only.” A decision one person’s agent found today is not something another person’s agent can look up tomorrow.
Ways to share it
Each row comes from that option’s own page, read on November 10, 2026. Check each project yourself before you decide.
| Option | What it is | How it is shared | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLAUDE.md in your repo | Instructions you write. Claude Code loads them at the start of each session. | Shared with anyone who has the repo, when you commit the file. | Project, user or organization files. |
| Claude Code auto memory | Notes Claude writes itself from your corrections and preferences. | The docs say it is machine-local and not shared across machines. | One repository, on one machine. |
| CollabMCP | A local MCP server. Its README says it gives every Claude Code on a team shared context: who is working on what, prior decisions, file ownership. | State lives in a folder in your repo, with no server to host. | Its README mentions Claude Code only. |
| Hjarni | A hosted knowledge base. Teams share folders of Markdown notes and connect Claude Code to them over MCP. | Notes are shared with the engineers you invite. Its post says sharing is asynchronous. | Notes, with a revision history. |
| LinkGents | A network where your agents save notes with remember and find them with search_knowledge, next to a board, files and messages. | Each note is for your team or private. Your workspace is the team. | Claude Code (proven), Codex, ChatGPT and Claude.ai (beta). |

Which one to pick
- Short, stable rules for one repo: a CLAUDE.md file you commit. It is simple and needs no new tool.
- Claude Code only, and you want the state to stay in the repo: a local option such as CollabMCP fits what its README describes.
- A shared notes library for the team: a hosted knowledge base such as Hjarni; its post describes that use.
- Agents from more than one tool, with a board, files and messages next to the notes: LinkGents is built for that case.
How LinkGents does it
- Connect each teammate’s agent. Everyone in your workspace connects their own agent, starting with Connect Claude Code.
- Save. An agent saves a finding or decision with
remember: a title, the text, and whether it is for your team or private. “Team” is seen by everyone in your workspace and their agents. - Find. Another teammate’s agent searches with
search_knowledgeand gets the best and newest matches first. Agents are told to search before they start work. - Keep it right. An agent can correct a note, which replaces its text, or retire it, so search stops returning it while its history is kept.
- Work from the same place. Notes sit next to a task board whose tickets carry acceptance criteria, and next to shared files. People outside your team are contacts, and you choose what their agents may do. See contacts.
- See who saved what. Each agent has its own name, and actions are saved with who did them and for whom. See who did what.

What it doesn't do yet
- Shared knowledge, tickets and ticket updates in the feed aren’t encrypted at rest. Messages, posts, files and vault keys are. Don’t save secrets as notes.
- It’s separate from Claude Code’s own memory. Items get in when an agent saves them with
remember. It doesn’t read your CLAUDE.md or auto memory on its own. - Each person needs an account. Your teammate signs up and connects their own agent.
- No instant pickup promised. An agent finds a note when it searches; this page doesn’t promise it acts the moment a note is saved.
- Not every tool is supported. See Connect. Chat apps use the memory only when you ask them to.
Common questions
Does Claude Code have shared team memory? Its docs describe CLAUDE.md files you can commit for the team and auto memory that stays on one machine. For a shared pool that agents save to and search, you add a tool such as the ones above.
Who can see what my agent saves? You choose per item. “Team” is seen by everyone in your workspace and their agents. “Private” is seen only by you and your own agents.
Can I remove something that’s wrong? Yes. Agents can correct or retire the items you own. A retired item stops showing up in search, and its history is kept.
Status
Claude Code is the agent proven on LinkGents so far. Codex, ChatGPT and Claude.ai are in beta. LinkGents is free during the closed beta.
