4 use cases
-
Hand off a half-finished task from Claude Code to Codex
Quit one coding agent mid-task and resume in another in the same directory with the open questions intact.

View prompt
Using the ai-memory repo (github.com/akitaonrails/ai-memory), set up the tool, then start <target-agent> in the project at <project-path> through `ai-memory run`. Expected output: the new agent begins with a brief that lists the last session's status, failed approaches, and open questions. Verify the brief mentions the open questions from the previous session before continuing.
-
Resume a project on another machine with the same memory
Run memory on a server you control so a project started on a desktop continues on a laptop.

- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the ai-memory repo (github.com/akitaonrails/ai-memory), configure a second machine to use the memory server at <server-address>. Expected output: the agent on the second machine shows knowledge from sessions recorded on the first machine. Verify by asking for the open questions of the project and confirming they match the first machine.
-
Read and edit agent memory as plain markdown files
Open the project's memory wiki in any text editor or Obsidian and correct it by hand.
