Variables and Source Links

The Variables feature at /variables manages reusable path tokens used by memory source links.

What It Does

• Stores variable mappings such as %MemorySmithRepo% in Data/vars.json.
• Expands variables inside source link URIs.
• Supports source-link driven workflows across UI and MCP tools.
• Helps keep source links portable across local environments.

Why It Matters

Source links tie memory records to concrete code evidence. Variables make those links resilient when machine paths differ.

Key Capabilities

• Variable CRUD through the UI.
• Source-link line range support for focused snippets.
• Compatibility with source bundle and source lookup MCP tools.
• Guard rails for allowed source roots and maximum read sizes.
