kungfu vs oh-my-hermes

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.; oh-my-hermes: oh-my-hermes (OMH) is an operating layer that sits above Nous Research's Hermes Agent without replacing it. It frames a request, picks a workflow and evidence gates, and runs Hermes-native skills inside that path, covering planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations and project memory. The omh CLI handles setup, updates, health checks and per-category model selection, and installs via a shell script, Homebrew, Bun, npm or a Hermes skill tap.
