  • Track agent changes by linking commits to specific sessions, prompts, and tool calls.
  • Run multiple coding agents side-by-side on the same codebase without losing context.
  • Query agent history months later to understand the 'why' behind code changes.
  • Supports Claude Code, Codex, and agents from the ACP registry.
  • Shared memory allows switching agents mid-task without starting over.
