DeepSleep-beta vs agent-tool

DeepSleep-beta: DeepSleep is a local-first AI coding memory that watches your files while you work, generates summaries when idle, and answers 'what was I working on?' instantly. It works with Ollama, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and MCP, with cross-project search via Neural Link. Completely free, no cloud, no API key.; 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.
