Show HN: Agent Kernel – Three Markdown files that make any AI agent stateful

Unique: Treats markdown state files as readable by the agent itself, enabling agents to parse and reason about their own state and history as part of their decision-making process, creating a self-referential feedback loop.

vs others: More transparent than opaque state stores and enables agents to explain their reasoning by referencing their own history, but requires careful markdown formatting discipline and may exceed LLM context limits for large histories.

Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent is a variant of xAI’s Grok 4.20 designed for collaborative, agent-based workflows. Multiple agents operate in parallel to conduct deep research, coordinate tool use, and synthesize information...

Unique: Implements centralized state tracking across agents with optional information barriers, allowing selective state sharing between agents while maintaining full auditability of reasoning paths

vs others: More transparent than black-box agent systems because full reasoning history is accessible; more efficient than naive state replication because central manager prevents duplicate state storage across agents
