Docs and comparison

- Comparison: https://nexus-prime.cfd/comparison.html
- Knowledge base: https://nexus-prime.cfd/knowledge-base.html
Agents should start with nexus_session_bootstrap, then route the raw request through nexus_orchestrate. Auto-bootstrap runs on first non-bootstrap call for compatible clients, but the explicit bootstrap-first path remains the safest integration contract.
The problem
Every coding agent you use starts every session cold.
It has no idea what you worked on yesterday. It has no idea what your teammate's Cursor session just finished. It re-reads your repo from scratch, every single turn, for every single question — because that's the only thing it knows how to do.
One tracked session was measured at 100,000,000 tokens. Ninety-nine point four percent of them were input. 166 tokens read for every 1 written. Your agent isn't thinking. It's re-orienting. And you're paying for that re-orientation over and over.
This is agent amnesia — and it's the quiet tax on every hour you spend with AI-assisted coding.
Nexus Prime ends it.
What changes when you install
| Before Nexus Prime | After Nexus Prime | | :--- | :--- | | Every session starts cold | Your agents pick up where they (or any other agent) left off | | You pick files manually and pray they fit the context | Your agent reads only what matters — automatically | | Memory grows but nothing learns | What was true yesterday is still true today | | Multi-file edits sometimes leave the codebase in a half-broken state | Every change is reviewed and safe before it lands | | Your Cursor and your Claude Code sessions are two strangers | They share the same memory, in real time | | Token bills climb and you can't see why | A live dashboard shows exactly where every token went | | Five-figure monthly LLM spend and no lever to pull | Users typically cut input tokens by 60–90% |
Quick start
1. Install
npm install -g nexus-prime2. Wire every agent you use
nexus-prime setup all3. Open the dashboard
nexus-prime startThen visit http://localhost:3377.
4. Use your agent like normal
That's it. Memory, budgeting, and safe execution are already on.

Features
🧠 Memory that sticks
Your agents remember what they did yesterday, last week, last sprint. Across every tool you use.
💰 Bills that stop climbing
Your agent reads what matters — nothing else. Users typically see 60–90% fewer input tokens.
🛡️ Safer coding sessions
Every multi-file edit is reviewed before it lands. No more half-broken commits because the agent got interrupted.
🔌 Works with your stack
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode, Aider, Continue, Cline, Antigravity — all wired by one command.
🏠 Your code, your machine
Everything runs locally. No cloud. No telemetry without your consent. No vendor lock-in.
👁️ A live dashboard
Watch memory form. Watch tokens drop. See every agent call in real time, at localhost:3377.
🤝 Agents that coordinate
Your Cursor session and your Claude Code session share the same memory — simultaneously, without stepping on each other.
🧬 Handoff across sessions
Close your laptop mid-task. Open it tomorrow. Any agent picks up exactly where the last one stopped.
⚡ Zero config
Install, run setup all, done. The wizard detects every coding agent on your machine and wires each one.

Works with
Nexus Prime wires up every major coding agent with one command:
| | | | |:---:|:---:|:---:| | Claude Code | Cursor | Codex | | Windsurf | OpenCode | Antigravity | | Aider | Continue.dev | Cline |
Pick one: nexus-prime setup claude · setup cursor · setup codex · setup windsurf · setup opencode · setup antigravity · setup aider · setup continue · setup cline
Or just wire everything: nexus-prime setup all
What users see
Numbers from real users running real workflows on their own machines:
| Metric | Typical before | Typical after | What it means | |--------|---------------:|--------------:|:--------------| | Input tokens per session | 10M – 100M | 1M – 10M | 60–90% lower bills | | Cold-start context time | 30s – 2 min | under a second | Agents feel instant | | Memory across sessions | None | Full | Nothing gets forgotten | | Multi-agent state sharing | None | Real-time | Your tools stop fighting each other | | Half-broken multi-file edits | Common | Rare | Merge with confidence |
No benchmarks from a press release — this is what the dashboard shows you, on day one.
Competitive position
Nexus Prime is a local-first control plane for coding agents: persistent memory, workspace-scoped runtime state, dashboard observability, and MCP-native orchestration in one install. The public comparison page tracks where it differs from other agent frameworks and developer orchestrators: https://nexus-prime.cfd/comparison.html
Who it's for
Nexus Prime is for people who take AI-assisted coding seriously:
- Engineers who ship with AI every day and want their agents to actually get better over time
- Creators and indie hackers burning through trial credits and wondering where the tokens went
- Teams running coding agents across multiple people, multiple tools, and multiple repos
- Power users who've hit every context-window wall and want a real fix
- Anyone who's paid a four- or five-figure monthly LLM bill and felt it
If any of that sounds like you — keep reading.

FAQ
Privacy
Nexus Prime was designed privacy-first, because the code on your machine is yours:
- 🏠 100% local. All data lives on your disk, in your home directory.
- 🚫 No cloud sync. Your code, your memory, your logs — never uploaded.
- 🔐 No required account. You can run the free trial without signing up for anything.
- 📊 Telemetry is opt-in. Off by default. When on, only aggregate, anonymous event counts are sent — never source code, never memory contents.
- 🗑️ Uninstall is clean. Everything lives in one directory you can delete.
