Agent Frameworks

Kungfu

Kungfu is an open-source C++ agent orchestration framework that keeps a durable Work record as coding tasks move across Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Amp or another execution surface. It stores objectives, progress, evidence, next actions and completion state outside individual agent sessions, while recording each agent’s Attempt separately.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Kungfu when coding work must continue across different agent environments or remain inspectable after failure and restart. Its built-in Mock Agent is useful for viewing the local continuity and recovery path before connecting a real agent.

Who it is for

  • Developers using multiple coding agents
  • Teams that need work to survive agent handoffs and interruptions
  • Builders designing multi-agent workflows with durable shared state

Documented uses

  • Preserve task context when changing coding agents
  • Resume work after disconnects, crashes or restarts
  • Record agent attempts without erasing the underlying Work
  • Support independent review before Work is settled as complete
  • Provide shared Work views through agent consoles, CLI, TUI, GUI and APIs
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public, open source and licensed under Apache-2.0. The documented platform support is macOS and Linux. Kungfu is currently Alpha. The Mock Agent needs no provider credentials, but regular onboarding still requires a supported real agent for independent review.

  • Named handoff targets include Codex, Claude, OpenCode and Amp.
  • The framework preserves Work state rather than the agent chat itself.
  • A Project, Work and Attempt model separates context, objectives and individual execution history.
  • An agent cannot approve its own Work through the documented governed review and settlement path.
  • The project-local .kungfu/ directory contains durable Work and runtime state and should follow its workspaceGit policy before Git staging.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
