VESTI Skills: open-source memory and handoff skills for coding agents
Two MIT-licensed skills — vesti-memory for memory recall and vesti-handoff for structured handoff — now documented on this site, with setup instructions for kimi-code, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
VESTI Skills make your AI coding agent remember everything you have done, and hand the work over to the next agent intact. vesti-memory recalls past work through progressive disclosure on top of the VESTI desktop app; vesti-handoff generates a schema-based handoff pack and works standalone.

Double release: Vesti desktop v0.3.1 and browser extension v1.2.0-rc.9
Vesti now captures agent work on both surfaces where it happens: AI conversations in the browser, and CLI coding-agent sessions on your machine.
Vesti is the working-memory engine for domain-specific agents. Today we are shipping both halves of the capture loop: the 心迹 Vesti browser extension at v1.2.0-rc.9 (released 2026-08-16) and the Vesti desktop app at v0.3.1 (released 2026-09-09).
Vesti desktop app v0.3.1
- Captures local CLI coding-agent sessions — Claude Code, Cursor, Kimi Code and Codex.
- L0–L3 layered memory: deterministic layers at the bottom, LLM layers on top, and the original transcript always rebuildable.
- Built-in MCP server with 9 read-only tools, so any coding agent can mount your memory.
- Beta membership with a points system, and an opt-in data-contribution program (rewarded with points, used as RL training data, PII filtered on both ends).
- Bring your own key via a generic OpenAI-compatible interface.
心迹 Vesti browser extension v1.2.0-rc.9
- Auto-captures web conversations across 8 AI platforms: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Tongyi, Doubao, Kimi and Yuanbao.
- Structured AST capture — code, tables and formulas stay intact instead of collapsing into plain text.
- Local-first storage in IndexedDB, with FTS5-grade search, vector recall and a knowledge graph.
- A Gardener agent organizes your library automatically.
- Gold medal, national finals, 2026 AI Hackathon Tour.
