Client — AI skill for Claude Code

AI community

Run Previously locally — an AI agent that remembers by when, not by chat thread.

How to install Client

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open previously-lab/client and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

What Client does

Run Previously locally — an AI agent that remembers by when, not by chat thread. One npm package: the same kernel on your machine, your memory as a plain git repo, BYOK or your existing Claude Code / Codex / Kimi Code subscription.

README

Previously Client

"node: =22.13" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/node-%3E%3D22.13-brightgreen">

The local client for [Previously](https://previously.ldwid.com) — an AI agent that remembers by *when*, not by chat thread. One npm package turns your machine into a full Previously instance: the same kernel, running locally, with your memory in a plain folder you own.

**Status: early preview.** The client is functional and tested, but the command surface and config format may still shift between preview releases.

What it does

Runs the Previously kernel locally — the prebuilt `@previously-lab/kernel` package, exact-version pinned. No build tools, no git required.
Your memory is a local git repository — plain Markdown time slices under ~/Documents/Previously (configurable), committed on the same cadence as the cloud version. Push it to a private GitHub repo if you like; a cloud deployment of Previously can read the same repo remotely. It's just files.
Two engines, your choice — bring your own API key (BYOK) for the full streaming experience identical to the cloud, or bridge the agent subscriptions you already have (Claude Code / Codex / Kimi Code) and pay nothing extra. The bridge is a compatibility path: some agent behavior is limited by the target CLI, so BYOK is what we recommend.
Transcribes your other agents' history — a scribe turns your existing Claude Code / Codex / Kimi Code / Gemini CLI sessions into time slices, and a memory skill lets those agents read you
