Star this repo!*\n\nLinkSense gives organizations one governed place to run agent tasks, share reusable Knowledge, Skills, Plugins, and Applications, and connect business systems without handing members the underlying credentials. Deploy it on your servers or private cloud, choose hosted or compatible local models, and keep task data and files on your own infrastructure.\n\nLinkSense supports Linux and macOS hosts with Docker. A Core evaluation needs at least 4 vCPU, 8 GiB of memory available to Docker, and 60 GiB of free SSD. Full adds built-in document parsing, indexing, and retrieval and needs more capacity.\n\nThe fastest installation path is to give a coding agent this prompt:\n\n```\nHelp me install and start LinkSense Core by following https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LingX-AI/linksense/main/Install.md\n```\n\nFor a manual installation, choose [Core](https://linksense.org/doc/deploy/core/) or [Full](https://linksense.org/doc/deploy/full/).
