Open-source, cross-harness memory for AI agents

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! Beacon hooks into 20+ different agent harnesses, captures session telemetry (prompts, tool calls, command executions, etc) in one normalized format, and distills it into common patterns and repeatable workflows with a human-approval step. This compounded knowledge is then accessible to any future agent via skills / MCP. We believe your agent data is yours to own and should not be locked behind any fro

We've tackled the core problem of agent telemetry normalization with our open-source project Beacon! https://github.com/Asymptote-Labs/agent-beacon Beacon is a harness-agnostic, environment-agnostic framework for capturing, normalizing, and storing the full session history of AI agents. We extend the OpenTelemetry GenAI standard and have done the heavy lifting of integrating with 25+ agent harnesses through a combination of OTel instrumentation, hooks, and local session database capture. This gives you a unified view of agent activity across environments, including local agents, cloud agents, browser-based chat, and agent SDKs, with the ability to track and retain complete session histories across all of them. Would love your feedback!
