Jotbus

Jotbus: Coding tool shares context between agents.

Jotbus is a shared scratchpad for coding agents. It allows agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to share notes and files, hand off work, and review changes across machines. Jotbus creates an encrypted 60-minute workspace and sets up the coding agents. It keeps the workspace list and a copy of the client in ~/.config/jotbus. Jotbus never reads code, history, or credentials; agents only send what they explicitly write to a workspace. Jotbus supports various coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI.
