Pattern: Agent Memory Has Consolidated Into a Cross-Harness Layer Nobody Owns
Memory is no longer a per-tool feature. claude-mem (89.3K stars) targets seven harnesses, lean-ctx (3.5K stars, Rust, 76 MCP tools) claims 60-90% token reduction as its metric, and Wienerdog surfaced on Hacker News on 2026-08-02 offering memory plus self-improving skills for both Claude Code and Codex. All three are harness-neutral by design because users run more than one agent. The practical implication: pick a memory layer before picking a harness, because switching harnesses is now cheaper than losing your accumulated context.
