Coding agents keep losing context between tools, so I built a local-first handoff CLI
A developer has created a local-first command-line interface (CLI) called AgentContextBus (acb) to improve context handoff between coding agents. The tool aims to streamline the process of transferring workspace state information, reducing the need for repetitive explanations. It emphasizes user control and transparency by allowing manual inspection of handoff packets without relying on cloud services or third-party configurations.
- ▪AgentContextBus (acb) is designed to facilitate context handoff between coding agents.
- ▪The tool allows users to save and transfer workspace context through local handoff packets.
- ▪ACB prioritizes user control by enabling manual inspection of packets and avoiding cloud sync.
