magic-context vs agentos

magic-context: Magic Context is a context and memory plugin for coding agent harnesses (OpenCode, Pi and OMP) that compresses history in the background, lifts decisions and conventions into project memory and recalls them each turn. It replaces the host's built-in compaction so one session per project can run for weeks without pauses.; agentos: AgentOS is an open-source TypeScript framework for agents with persistent cognitive memory, runtime tool forging and multi-agent orchestration across 13 LLM providers. Forged tools are tested, reviewed by an LLM judge and run in a node:vm context or a QuickJS WebAssembly sandbox.
