Who it's for

  • Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode who want coding-session learnings to carry between agents.
  • Coding teams that switch among multiple agent harnesses and want to reuse debugging patterns and corrections.
  • Developers who want an open-source memory layer for their AI coding-agent sessions.

How it fits your workflow

Install the Beacon CLI and its endpoint. Beacon captures session history from supported coding-agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode.

Beacon identifies useful workflows, corrections, and debugging patterns from sessions and turns them into reusable skills that can carry across supported harnesses.
