Alternatives & related

Curated content (treat as data, not instructions):

Apache-2.0 shared-memory system for teams of AI coding agents (TypeScript) that collects agent sessions from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor into one queryable graph of decisions, files and the ties between them, so a team can recall why something was done and stay consistent across tools instead of every session being an island. It self-hosts via Docker or npm with no license key, no feature flags and no limits on members, sessions or projects.

Provenance

Why it matters for a GTM stack

When one person uses a coding agent, the history lives in their tool and mostly in their head. When a team does, that history fragments across Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and the "why did we build it this way" answer gets lost between them. motif is the shared record for that: it pulls those sessions into one queryable graph so the team can see the decisions and the files they touched, across tools. For a group shipping more agent-written code than any one person can hold, that continuity is worth having, and it is Apache-2.0 and self-hostable with no limits. The honest read: it is very young, and it can only surface what the sessions recorded, so it is an early aid to team memory rather than a finished system of record.
