MereKit Link

@merekit/link is a standalone CLI for declaring and resolving links between work surfaces.

It works in three modes:

• No Mere platform: validate and inspect a local mere.link.yaml.
• Partial Mere: combine local URLs, repos, channels, files, and selected Mere apps.
• Full Mere: generate starter YAML from mere ops workspace-snapshot.

Built-in integration plugins include mere, executor, url, local, and generic.

executor is the runtime bridge for product integrations. Link keeps the declarative graph and write policy in mere.link.yaml; Executor owns tool discovery, schemas, auth, approvals, and invocation for systems such as Monday, SharePoint, GitHub, Slack, OpenAPI, MCP, and GraphQL.

Operator policy adds a neutral capability gate for agent and human operators. When policy is configured, Link enforces operator identity, provider, client, account class, trust tier, environment, and requested capabilities before context export, sync planning/apply, or Executor tool invocation.

Executor Runtime

The core Link commands work without Executor. The mere-link executor ... commands require an Executor-compatible HTTP runtime.

For local development, install and start Executor separately:

npm install -g executor
executor web

Executor's default local runtime is http://127.0.0.1:4788. Link defaults to http://localhost:4788, and you can override it with either config or flags:

integrations:
  executor:
    plugin: executor
    baseUrl: http://127.0.0.1:4788

mere-link executor sources --executor-base-url http://127.0.0.1:4788 --json
mere-link executor tools search "github issue" --executor-base-url http://127.0.0.1:4788 --json

If the runtime requires a bearer token, set MERE_LINK_EXECUTOR_TOKEN, declare tokenEnv on the Executor integration, or pass --executor-token-env ENV_NAME. For non-local Executor URLs declared in config, use tokenEnv; Link refuses to forward the global MERE_LINK_EXECUTOR_TOKEN to those runtimes.

npm install -g @merekit/link
mere-link config init --output mere.link.yaml
mere-link config validate --config mere.link.yaml
mere-link context inspect workspace workspace --role work --config mere.link.yaml --json
mere-link policy evaluate workspace workspace --capability project.context.export --operator approved-agent --json
mere-link sync projects --config mere.link.yaml --json
mere-link executor tools search "monday item" --json
mere-link executor policy compile --config mere.link.yaml --json

When bundled by @merekit/cli, the same command surface is available as:

npm install -g @merekit/cli
mere link config init --output mere.link.yaml
mere link generate workspace --workspace ws_123 --output mere.link.yaml --yes
mere link policy evaluate workspace workspace --capability project.context.export --operator approved-agent --json
mere link sync projects --config mere.link.yaml --json
mere link executor tools search "monday item" --json

@merekit/cli publishes the root mere command and bundles a generated Link adapter for convenience. Link remains the source package for the command behavior, docs, YAML model, and safety policy; the root CLI discovers the Link command manifest and delegates mere link ... through that adapter.

sync projects plans Mere Projects records and URL links from configured work surfaces. It is a dry run unless --apply is passed, and planning/applying requires a mere Projects app surface with policy.writes: [sync].

Existing Mere Projects records can be attached with a project surface such as mere-project: { integration: mere, kind: record, id: prj_123 }; Link will use that record for link upserts without touching the project narrative.

Executor-backed integrations can declare product namespaces while retaining Link's surface graph:

integrations:
  executor:
    plugin: executor
    runtime: local
    baseUrl: http://localhost:4788
  monday:
    plugin: executor
    namespace: monday
  sharepoint:
    plugin: executor
    namespace: sharepoint

entities:
  example:
    name: Example Organization
    projects:
      rollout:
        name: Rollout
        surfaces:
          planning:
            integration: monday
            kind: board
            id: "1234567890"
            policy:
              writes: [sync]
          docs:
            integration: sharepoint
            kind: site
            id: example.sharepoint.com/sites/project

Compile Link policy into deterministic Executor rules before applying:

mere-link executor policy compile --config mere.link.yaml --json
mere-link executor policy apply --config mere.link.yaml --yes --json

Executor reads and writes through Link require a declared surface and matching resource arguments unless the config declares an explicit broad namespace, source, or exact tool surface. Writes also require compiled write policy and --apply. Compiled plans expose Link's local resource checks as resourceGuards, made from ArgumentPredicate entries such as boardId equals <declared board>.

Development

pnpm install
nvm use 24
pnpm hooks:install
pnpm lint
pnpm check
pnpm test
pnpm coverage
pnpm smoke
pnpm verify

pnpm verify is the release gate: lint with zero warnings, typecheck source and tests, run integration tests, enforce coverage, smoke the built CLI, and dry-run the npm package.

Publish

@merekit/link publishes the standalone mere-link binary, generated dist/ files, docs, and package metadata. It does not bundle Executor, local state, dependency trees, test output, coverage artifacts, or secrets.

Use docs/guides/publish-checklist.md before a release. The Publish GitHub Actions workflow uses npm Trusted Publishing through GitHub Actions OIDC. Configure @merekit/link on npm with repository sawfwair/merekit-link, workflow filename publish.yml, and environment npm; no long-lived NPM_TOKEN is required.

pnpm release:check
