Show HN: Agent Archive – Session Handoffs and Backups for Claude Code and Codex

A developer released agent-archive, an open-source tool that lets users or coding agents find past coding sessions and hand conversation context between Claude Code and Codex, including when usage limits are hit. The tool supports local handoffs without setup or connection to a user's own S3/R2 bucket for automatic archiving and cross-machine access, and it tracks usage across agents while keeping a full archive of session transcripts. The developer said the archive has helped iterate on AGENTS.md files and lint rules.

I often switch between Claude Code and Codex throughout the week, and between my laptop and an older machine I leave running at home. I built agent-archive to make it easier to pick up where I left off, especially when i hit usage limits.

It lets you (or a coding agent) find past coding sessions and hand their conversation context to another agent. You can try local handoffs without setup, or connect your own S3/R2 bucket for automatic archiving and access from other machines.

It also tracks usage across agents and gives you a full archive of your session transcripts across agents, which I've found useful to iterating and improving my AGENTS.md and lint rules.
