A daemon/CLI wrapper that monitors coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), auto-saves context snapshots, detects when the agent is approaching context limits, automatically compacts and resumes, and logs progress to disk. CLI usage: `agentkeep wrap "build this feature"` — runs until done regardless of token resets. The missing reliability layer for autonomous coding agents.
Five independent subreddits report the same pain this week: agents stopping mid-task at context limits with no graceful recovery. Anthropic's own --resume flag is broken (confirmed open issue #3138). No production-grade solution exists — only shell scripts that wait for rate limits to reset. The differentiation: existing tools react after context breaks; AgentKeep acts proactively before it happens. High acquisition potential if it works.
MVP: Node.js/Python daemon + Claude Code process monitoring + token warning detection via output parsing + auto /compact trigger + checkpoint save to disk (JSON: task description, progress summary, open files) + resume with checkpoint as context. One weekend. Post in r/codex and r/ClaudeCode where the pain is actively expressed.
high — pain exists today, no direct tool, window open
5 platforms (cursor/codex/ClaudeAI/ChatGPT/reddit) + new signal: 1M context is a trap = the market already knows it's not a size problem but management. Zero direct solutions exist.
