agentpack vs kungfu

agentpack: Agentpack is a local-first continuity layer for repo-scoped coding work. It stores reviewed task state in a repo-local .agentpack/ directory so that MCP-connected coding agents can continue without rediscovering context or re-reading unchanged sources. It exposes task state through an MCP server, project instructions, CLI commands, and markdown export.; kungfu: Kungfu keeps a unit of Work outside any single agent session, recording its objective, progress, evidence, next action and completion state, so the same Work can move between Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Amp or your own agent without re-explaining context. Each Agent attempt is recorded under the Work, a second live writer is blocked, and an Agent cannot approve its own result: completion goes through independent review. It is in Alpha.
