ContextKit

Persistent engineering memory across Codex, Claude Code

ContextKit launched on May 12, 2026 with 1 votes.

What it does

ContextKit is an open-source context engineering framework that gives AI coding tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini persistent project understanding, structured memory, and architecture-aware workflows to generate more accurate and consistent code.

ContextKit gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and other coding agents persistent project memory across sessions.

ContextKit turns your repository into a living project brain, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and OpenCode stop forgetting architecture, conventions, bugs, and hard-won decisions between sessions. The agent forgets your architecture. It repeats bugs you already fixed. It suggests banned patterns. It wastes your time rebuilding context you already taught it yesterday. Your first 20 minutes go to re-onboarding instead of building. Switch from Codex to Claude or Cursor and the project memory disappears. Without a memory layer, fixes do not become reusable defensive knowledge. `ctx init` creates a `.ctx/` directory in your repo with human-readable memory files plus a fast SQLite index.…from anasnafees1802.github.io

    We built an open-source proxy that sits between coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) and the LLM, compressing tool outputs before they enter the context window. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vFZ6MPrwjw#t=9s. Motivation: Agents are terrible at managing context. A single file read or grep can dump thousands of tokens into the window, most of it noise. This isn't just expensive — it actively degrades quality. Long-context benchmarks consistently show steep accuracy drops as context grows (OpenAI's GPT-5.4 eval goes from 97.2% at 32k to 36.6% at 1M…

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
