Kilo Code deprecated its memory bank feature in favour of AGENTS.md — but AGENTS.md is write-protected there, so pouring a self-updating memory bank into it turns every update into an approval prompt. Re-attach the instruction, keep the content where it is, and give the record somewhere to live that is not a repo.
opencode can read your existing Cursor rules through its instructions array, but the extension in the official example does not match what Cursor actually stores, and the conditional behaviour of Apply Intelligently and glob rules does not survive the move. Fix the glob first, then decide what each unconditional rule costs.

Every Warp cloud run starts a fresh session by design, and no state crosses unless something outside the session holds it. What the environment can't do, handoff's three preconditions, and where Agent Memory stands.
Manus says there is no deadline to restore, and also that restoration can only be completed once. What the package actually returns, what it can't, and how to check your file set before you spend the attempt.
Same vendor, same agentic architecture — and inside a Cowork session, Claude Code prunes any user-scope import pointing outside the working directory and skips a symlinked CLAUDE.md. What to inline before you switch.
Devin's docs state that its default agent for new tabs does not persist memories. AGENTS.md moves untouched; the real work is flattening four rule activation modes into Codex's concatenated chain under a 32 KiB cap.

Codex's importer names Claude Cowork as a source, but only one row in its table names a source for memory — and it isn't Cowork. What transfers, and what you have to read out by hand first.
Cline auto-detects `.cursorrules` — a format Cursor's current docs no longer mention. The real bridge is `AGENTS.md` plus one shared skills directory, and the work is converting `.mdc` frontmatter.

Zed reads the first matching file from a list of nine, so the `AGENTS.md` you maintain may never have loaded. Skills move for free; `.mdc` frontmatter is the trap at the other end.
Codex has a documented local memory store, off by default, under `~/.codex/memories/`. The config keys that govern it, and the rate-limit rule that skips your busiest sessions.
How Warp turned disappearing session feedback into a two-skill loop that edits its own agents through pull requests — plus the vendor's own line on where skills stop and memory starts.

MemoryLake, Mem0, Supermemory, Zep, LangMem, Cortex, Second Brain, Weaviate, Mnemon and Cognee compared as memory and context tools for Cursor — features, pros, cons and pricing.
Perplexity has memory for this — it's called Brain, it only runs inside a Project, and it may be set to manual. The three layers and four switches that decide.

Claude's memory documents "Technical preferences and coding style" as something it keeps. Here are the four boundaries that stop it sticking, and the three you can fix today.
Pasting your directory tree into a rule is the fix both Cursor and Claude Code advise against. The three real causes, and what to store instead of the tree.
Your CLAUDE.md moves to Cursor with a rename — but Claude Code's auto memory is machine-local markdown Cursor never sees. What transfers, what doesn't, and what to read first.
Slack shows the last 90 days on the free plan, and its AI answers cover Slack content only. Why the same questions keep coming back — and how to make answering once count.
Codex reads at most one instruction file per directory, caps the chain at 32 KiB, and builds it once per run. Six silent skips, and the command that shows you the real chain.

AGENTS.md is read by 60k+ repos and most major agents — but not Claude Code. The documented bridge, and the three CLAUDE.md features with no equivalent.
.clinerules has a near-automatic path via /init and /import. Cline's six-file Memory Bank has no destination — here's where it should actually go.
Both read AGENTS.md, so the file transfers free. What doesn't: override files, the ~/.codex global scope, code review rules, and the 32 KiB cap.
