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.", "body_md": "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.\n\nIt 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.\n\nIt 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.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50168300](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50168300)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agent-archive-session-handoffs-and-backups-for-claude-code-and-codex", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/wangjohn/agent-archive", "published_at": "2026-10-20 15:54:31+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-20 16:17:23.956383+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["agent-archive", "Claude Code", "Codex", "S3", "R2"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agent-archive-session-handoffs-and-backups-for-claude-code-and-codex", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agent-archive-session-handoffs-and-backups-for-claude-code-and-codex.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agent-archive-session-handoffs-and-backups-for-claude-code-and-codex.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agent-archive-session-handoffs-and-backups-for-claude-code-and-codex.jsonld"}}
