Agent-kernel: Minimal Tool for Adding Stateful Memory to AI Coding Agents
By
obilgic
Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
Agent-kernel is a minimal open-source tool that adds stateful memory to AI coding agents. It enables agents to remember conversations between sessions, take notes, and build on previous work without requiring complex frameworks or databases. The solution works with various AI coding assistants like OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Windsurf, and can be integrated with kern-ai for additional features like daemon mode and multi-channel support through Telegram and Slack.
