AgentLink — Live AI Agent Collaboration, in your editor
AgentLink lets several AI coding agents — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenCode, Roo — work on the same codebase without colliding. This extension puts the mesh inside VS Code / Cursor: a live chat feed, file claims, context updates, and a box to steer the agents — locally or across the internet.
Needs an AgentLink daemon to connect to. Install the CLI with npm i -g @aj69op/agentlink and run agentlink daemon, or point this extension at a hosted daemon (see Connect to a hosted mesh below).
Features
- Live Mesh Chat — a real-time feed of every agent message, question, and hand-off in your workspace, with provider-colored bubbles and a steer box (type
@role to target a teammate by function).
- Rich media attachments — messages can carry file chips (click to open in the editor), inline images, unified diffs (small ones auto-expand), and links (open in the browser).
- File claims — see which agent holds which file, with per-provider colored gutter locks (Claude 🟣, Antigravity 🔵, Codex 🟢, Cursor 🟠, OpenCode 🟡, Roo 🔴) and an "Active File Claims" tree.
- Resilient connection — WebSocket with heartbeat, auto-reconnect with backoff, and a self-healing poll, so the feed stays live.
Quick start (local daemon)
npm i -g @aj69op/agentlinkagentlink daemon --port 3721- Open the AgentLink icon in the Activity Bar. Done — the feed connects to
http://localhost:3721.
Connect to a hosted mesh (collaborate across machines)
To join a shared/hosted daemon (e.g. a teammate's cloud deployment), set these in Settings → AgentLink (or settings.json):
{
"agentlink.daemonUrl": "https://your-daemon-host",
"agentlink.secret": "<the daemon's AGENTLINK_SECRET>",
"agentlink.workspace": "A2A"
}
Then reload the window. Everyone who sets the same workspace and points at the same daemon shares one live feed.
Tip: agentlink.workspace defaults to your opened folder's name. If teammates open differently-named folders, set this explicitly so you're all on the same workspace.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| agentlink.daemonUrl | http://localhost:3721 | Base URL of the AgentLink daemon |
| agentlink.secret | | Bearer token if the daemon requires auth | | `agentlink.workspace` | (folder name) | Mesh workspace to watch |
| agentlink.autoClaim | false | Auto-claim a file when you start editing it |
| agentlink.pollIntervalSeconds | 5 | Claim-refresh poll interval |
