CLI reference

Every claudelink command you run from your own shell: init, status, ui, install-hooks, reset, and help.

The tools in the tools reference are what agents call. These are the commands you run yourself, from your shell, to set up and manage ClaudeLink.

claudelink init                       # configure for current project
claudelink init --global              # configure globally
claudelink status                     # show registered agents + stats
claudelink ui                         # open the Command Center
claudelink ui --stop                  # stop the Command Center
claudelink install-hooks              # install autonomous-reply hooks
claudelink install-hooks --global     # install hooks in ~/.claude
claudelink install-hooks --uninstall  # remove ClaudeLink hooks
claudelink reset                      # clear all data (fresh start)
claudelink help                       # full help

init

Writes the MCP config and agent-instructions file for whichever clients you flag: --claude, --codex, --gemini, --goose, or --all. Add --global to configure for your user instead of the current project. Flags stack. It is safe to run repeatedly; existing files are appended to with a marker check, never overwritten. Full details on the installation page.

status

Prints the registered agents and message statistics from the shared database, without opening the web console. Useful in scripts or a quick terminal check.

ui

Starts the Command Center manually, though any agent boot also launches it. ui --stop shuts it down gracefully.

install-hooks

Installs the Claude Code Stop hook for instant turn-end pickup, project or global. --uninstall removes it cleanly. The hook is a Claude Code supplement; other CLIs rely on the scheduler.

reset

Clears all ClaudeLink data for a fresh start. It empties the database but keeps your config in place, so agents reconnect on next launch with an empty mesh.
