Overwhelmed and disorganized working with agents? Your agent distills what you worked on into a wiki of plain markdown files: a Home page, the decisions you made and why, open questions with owners, and the things you track. You read and edit it in your browser, and every agent you use works on the same files.
Files in your repo Text pages are markdown files in your project. By default the wiki lives in nimbalyst-local/wiki , kept out of git so it stays private to you. Put it in a checked-in folder like docs/wiki to diff and commit it like code.
Stays on your machine A local wiki needs no account and no server. The browser view listens on your machine only and is protected by a token.
One wiki across every agent Claude Code, Codex, Cowork, Cursor and VS Code all use the same tools on the same files, so you can switch agents without losing what they wrote.
Drawings, sheets and mockups too Drawings, mind maps, spreadsheets, data models, mockups and canvases are pages too. Each keeps its own file, such as .excalidraw , .csv , .prisma or .mockup.html , so other tools can still open it.

The wiki in Claude Code and your browser, from installing the plugin to editing a page.
## Get started
You need Node.js 22 or later on your PATH, with the npm that comes with it. You don't need the Nimbalyst app or an account.
### 1. Install the plugin
#### Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add nimbalyst/nimbalyst-wiki
/plugin install nimbalyst-wiki@nimbalyst-wiki
#### Codex
sh
codex plugin marketplace add nimbalyst/nimbalyst-wiki
codex plugin add nimbalyst-wiki@nimbalyst-wiki
Using Cursor, VS Code, Cowork or the Codex app? See Other agents. The team wiki's add-on comes later, only when you share the wiki with your team.
### 2. Build the wiki
/nimbalyst-wiki:setup
Claude asks who the wiki is for, then writes a Home page, a writing guide and starter pages from your README and docs, as markdown files in your repo. In Codex, ask it to "set up a wiki for this repo." For a short tour first, run /nimbalyst-wiki:start.
### 3. Capture what you decided
/nimbalyst-wiki:capture
At the end of a session, capture writes each decision into the page it affects, with who decided, when and what was passed over, and records open questions with their owners. Claude Code reminds the agent once to capture after a session with a commit, a plan or several file edits.
### 4. Open it in your browser
Ask your agent to "open the wiki in my browser," with nothing to install. You get the page tree and the page editor, and you can edit pages, drawings, mind maps, spreadsheets and mockups. Edits save straight to the files, and what your agent writes shows up live. From a terminal, run nim wiki serve (see nim command line).
