crossmem vs agent-tool

crossmem: crossmem provides cross-tool memory for AI coding agents. It injects remembered context before the AI starts thinking, eliminating the need to re-establish context across sessions. It supports Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI with zero cloud infrastructure.; agent-tool: agent-tool is a single-binary MCP tool server that provides over 50 tools for AI coding agents. It addresses common issues like tab indentation corruption, encoding breakage, and lack of reverse engineering support. With smart indentation and encoding preservation, it seamlessly replaces built-in tools.
