claude-mem (89.3K stars) targets seven harnesses. lean-ctx (3.5K stars, Rust, 76 MCP tools) uses 60-90% token reduction as its headline metric. Wienerdog surfaced on HN August 2 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. Practical implication: pick a memory layer before picking a harness, because switching harnesses is now cheaper than losing your accumulated context.
