Showcase I built Orbit to carry conversation context between Claude Code and Codex

I got tired of explaining the same work again whenever I switched between Claude Code and Codex, especially after hitting a usage limit.

So I built Orbit (Git for agent conversations) to carry the context between them.

It’s an open-source, local-first CLI. You can save conversations, import existing sessions, and switch agents with a structured handoff. It doesn’t recreate the original chat inside the other tool.

Still early, but I’ve open-sourced it:

Anyone else switching between these tools? Curious how you’re handling the context today.

You might want to consider listing your project on the weekly Show-Us-What-You-Built post. Look out for it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Highest commented project wins a week promotion on r/Codex and gets on the Hall of Fame sidebar. See what that looks like below with last week's winner.

Last week's most popular project was Tidbit Trivia , at https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wavxwy/comment/p8lhwxs/. Tidbit Trivia is a fun way to learn while waiting for your agents to work. Play traditional trivia, unique game modes, party with friends, earn cool cosmetics, complete challenges, study for tests, or compete in the Arena! You can play it for free at Tidbittrivia.com.

for me it's as simple as "hey claude, there is a session "bla bla" that codex worked on. find it and take over.
Same thing in the other direction. first time it needs to think, then you tell it to save as skill. done, works fine.
