Measured fresh-session continuity
Automatic continuity. Lower API cost.
Crosshead completed every tested workflow at lower API cost than each tested handoff or memory method. The next agent gets the context to finish the work.
62% lower API cost
Than claude-mem, with both completing all 16 workflows.
67% lower API cost
Than Cairntir, with both completing all 16 workflows.
Automatic capture
Keep the task moving without writing your own handoff. Crosshead also cost 13.7% less than the update-only handoff control.
| Method | Workflows completed | Total API cost |
|---|---|---|
| Crosshead | 16/16 | $1.62 |
| Agent-written handoff · updated when needed | 16/16 | $1.88 |
| Structured handoff + saved sources | 16/16 | $2.22 |
| Cairntir | 16/16 | $4.92 |
| claude-mem | 16/16 | $4.29 |
| Supermemory Local · configured | 11/16 | $2.89 |
25% lower API cost than Claude Code auto memory
In the separate Claude-only comparison, both methods completed 8/8 fresh-session workflows. Crosshead cost $0.91; auto memory cost $1.21. Auto memory carries saved notes into a fresh session; resuming an existing conversation is a different workflow.
Eight synthetic task families created by Crosshead, using GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5. One run per task and tool pairing. Costs include coding and background model calls; subscriptions, service fees, local compute and operator time are excluded.
