Repo-native task continuity for AI coding agents: a reviewed task-state ledger served over MCP.
Repo-native task continuity for AI coding agents: a reviewed task-state ledger served over MCP.
Here it is live. Session 1: Claude Code investigates a flaky test and records what it learns through the Agentpack MCP tools. Session 2, next day, empty context: the agent loads the task state and picks up exactly where the first session stopped — no re-investigation:
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Local — first.** Plain files in your repo. No cloud, no telemetry, no network callsAgent — oriented.** A local MCP server plus generated project instructions (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules) tell agents when to load and record stateHuman — friendly.** The same state is available through the CLI for inspection, debugging, and manual handoffBest — effort redaction of secret-looking values in stored context and handoff outputCompare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
