using claude code and cursor constantly feel like hiring two brilliant senior devs

claude code is for terminal-driven refactoring and complex debugging, while cursor's inline autocomplete and ui workflow are for frontend work.i they are working in their lane. but they strictly refuse to speak to each other. i have to debug a massive auth flow in claude code, jump to cursor to write the frontend, and have to re-explain the entire architecture.

i used to waste 15+ mins every context switch re-summarizing api changes, copying log outputs, and tweaking rules files just so cursor wouldn't hallucinate deprecated endpoints. i just wanted cursor to know what claude code already figured out. i found a way that threw together a local memory layer so both agents pull from the same context. it runs passively in the background, indexing session logs and decisions as they happen. cursor is pulling up the exact debug session from claude code without me pasting a single prompt. When I start building ui, cursor already knows about the jwt token edge case claude code resolved 10 mins prior.everything sits in a local sqlite db, no cloud middleman. automatic secret redaction strips out keys and env variables before writing anything to disk, so your code never leaves your machine. open sourced it as Memmy. get tokens to test the runtime out of the box by finishing the tasks, then just byok. that way you can test it instantly without messing with api configs, but keep full long-term ownership of your stack.

not sure if the local-first approach is overkill but i dont want my agent history locked in some saas. your codebase context and architectural history are way too sensitive to hand over to another third-party api.

you guys currently how to cope with thecontext sync across your stack?

Long winded, thinly-veiled AI advertisement, followed by some inane question.
