ContextLedger – CLI to track and handoff context b/w AI coding sessions

It hooks into local agent logs and settings to backfill past sessions and then incrementally capture prompts and events — a pragmatic, privacy-friendly approach that actually makes session continuity possible. The combo of one-command onboarding, an explicit 'handoff' export, and a small dashboard feels immediately usable, though its appeal is narrow unless you regularly juggle multiple coding agents.
