guild vs swarmvault

guild: guild is a compiled Go binary with an MCP server backed by embedded SQLite, providing shared context, memory, and task coordination for AI coding agents. It allows multiple agents across different editors to share state safely using atomic locks. State persists locally and includes hybrid search (BM25+vector).; swarmvault: SwarmVault turns raw files, URLs, and code into a persistent knowledge vault. Instead of losing work inside chat history, you get a markdown wiki, a knowledge graph, local search, and reviewable artifacts that stay on disk. It treats the vault itself as the product, writing durable artifacts you can inspect, diff, and keep improving.
