Continuity for Agent Work
The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Aug 2026
Kungfu tackles the thing that quietly breaks long agent sessions: context loss on a handoff. It's a continuity layer that preserves task state and context so agents like Codex, Claude, OpenCode, and Amp can pause, hand off, and resume without forgetting what they were doing. The project wraps this in unusually formal governance, cryptographic "Release Passports" and a written qualification spec.
It's a real, deep monorepo spanning TypeScript, Rust, and C++, with a serious commit history behind it. This is not a thin repo coasting on a good README, the code is there and the engineering is deliberate.
For teams running agents on multi-step work, the promise is fewer dropped threads and cleaner resumption. Solo or team, the license cost is zero.
The catch is timing. Kungfu is alpha. The public packaging hasn't shipped ("v4 coming soon"), so today you're building from source, not running an install command. The ideas are strong and the foundation looks solid, but this is one to watch and test, not to put in front of production work yet.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree and open source under Apache 2.0, with no paid tier announced. The practical cost right now is effort: packages aren't published, so you build it from source until the v4 release lands.
Free and open source, but still pre-release. Build from source for now.
