Decision brief

Optimizes AI coding agent context windows via sandboxing and persisting session memory across 17 platforms using MCP plus hooks.

Good fit when

You require seamless support for multiple coding environments including antigravity, claude-code, codex, copilot, and more.
Your use case involves frequent switching between coding tasks needing a persistent context window without losing memory state.

Avoid when

Your project works only on platforms not covered by the 17 supported environments listed in the repository topics section.
You need real-time updates and direct manipulation of code snippets that bypass the sandboxed output feature, as it enforces an up to 98% reduction without manual override options.
