What Spool does

Spool shares the current agent session with a Markdown summary and can publish, withdraw, or resume it from the CLI. It also searches past Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Pi sessions when a user refers to earlier work.

Spool is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Spool comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, claude-code, codex, codex-cli and developer-tools.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Spool is the publishing platform for agent Sessions. Share explicitly sends the selected records to the Hub and returns a durable URL. Claude Code and Codex CLI Shares are Public by default and can appear in Explore and search; Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Pi remain Link-only until Discovery supports them. Claude Code and Codex CLI shares can also be resumed from another machine. A Share can carry a Markdown Summary: the interactive CLI can generate one with a detected Claude Code or Codex CLI, while an agent shell should provide its own Summary with --summary. Local preparation and sharing cover all five providers, so any agent with a shell can recall another agent's Sessions.
