`npx continues` – resume same session Claude, Gemini, Codex when limited
i kept hitting rate limits in Claude Code mid-debugging, then hopping to Gemini or Codex. the annoying part wasn't switching tools (copy-pasting terminal output doesn't bring tool-use context with it) — it was losing the full conversation and spending 10 minutes re-explaining what i was doing. so i built *continues*. it finds your existing AI coding sessions across five tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode), lets you pick one, and generates a structured handoff so you can continue in another tool without starting from zero. npx continues # interactive TUI:…
`npx continues` – resume same session Claude, Gemini, Codex when limited launched on February 19, 2026 with 15 votes, #834 of 16,627 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
npx continues helps developers switch between AI coding tools without losing context. It scans for existing sessions across Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, and OpenCode, then generates a structured handoff to resume work in a different tool. Developers facing rate limits or tool-specific issues can pick a session and continue debugging or coding in their preferred AI assistant without re-explaining their progress or copying terminal output manually.

Continue – Open-source coding autopilot2023 · github.com · ▲298Hi HN, we’re Nate and Ty, co-founders of Continue, an open-source autopilot for software development built to be deeply customizable and continuously learn from development data. It consists of an extended language server and (to start) a VS Code extension. Our GitHub is https://github.com/continuedev/continue. You can watch a demo of Continue and download the extension at https://continue.dev — — — A growing number of developers are replacing Google + Stack Overflow with Large Language Models (LLMs) as their primary approach to get help, similar to how…
Stop Claude Code from forgetting everythingDec 2025 · github.com · ▲202I got tired of Claude Code forgetting all my context every time I open a new session: set-up decisions, how I like my margins, decision history. etc. We built a shared memory layer you can drop in as a Claude Code Skill. It’s basically a tiny memory DB with recall that remembers your sessions. Not magic. Not AGI. Just state. Install in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mutable-state-inc/ensue-skill /plugin install ensue-memory # restart Claude Code What it does: (1) persists context between sessions (2) semantic & temportal search (not just…
Ctx – a /resume that works across Claude Code and CodexApr 2026 · github.com · ▲72ctx is a local SQLite-backed skill for Claude Code and Codex that stores context as a persistent workstream that can be continued across agent sessions. Each workstream can contain multiple sessions, notes, decisions, todos, and resume packs. It essentially functions as a /resume that can work across coding agents. Here is a video of how it works: https://www.loom.com/share/5e558204885e4264a34d2cf6bd488117 I initially built ctx because I wanted to try a workstream that I started on Claude and continue it from Codex. Since then, I’ve added a few quality of life…
Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessionsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲105I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…
Retain – A unified knowledge base for all your AI coding conversationsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲45Hey 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…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
