Open-source, cross-harness memory for AI agents trending on X
TL;DR
Earlier this year, my co-founder and I found ourselves frequently switching between different coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) anytime we ran out of shaky usage limits or a newer, better model came out. We became increasingly frustrated with having to re-explain our tasks, workflows, common mistake patterns, etc. anytime we switched agents. We found no good free alternatives out there, so we built our own and fully open-sourced it!
Nauti's Take
The first useful test is a contained project that uses several agents: check whether Beacon produces genuinely reusable skills and whether another agent reaches reliable results faster with them. Before using it in production, a small team should verify data handling, secret filtering, storage location, and deletion controls, since prompts and terminal commands may contain sensitive information.
