Open-source release

Shared Ops Memory For Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, And Custom Agents.

Agent Nerve is the small open-source layer we built because prompt history and vector memory do not solve cross-machine handoff, task continuity, or safe coordination between mixed agent sessions.

What problem it solves

When one agent starts the work, another one should not need a full recap prompt.

  • One Claude session can start the task.
  • Codex can pick it up later on another machine.
  • Hermes can do the heavy execution on server.
  • Everyone can see what happened, what is blocked, and what is next.
  • Claims reduce collision on risky shared resources like deploys or migrations.
Why it is different

Not just memory

This is not a vector-memory wrapper. It is a shared coordination layer with tasks, append-only events, and lease-based claims so multiple agents can work without trampling each other.

Why it is safe

Small surface area

Stdlib-only Python, SQLite, API-key protected writes, server-side redaction for common secrets, and short operational summaries instead of dumping raw prompts or credentials.

Best fit

Teams already using multiple agents

Best for people with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, or custom workers who already feel the pain of repeated prompt recaps and broken handoffs.

Upgrade path

Open source first, custom systems second

Use the repo if you want the core pattern. If you want a business-specific implementation around your agents, queues, review gates, and dashboards, that is build work.
