Aspens keeps Claude Code and Codex synced

Aspens is an open-source CLI for generating and maintaining repo-specific context files for coding agents. It scans a codebase, builds an import graph, discovers domains and hotspots, and then generates `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and scoped skill files for Claude Code, Codex, or both. The main pitch is that instead of hand-maintaining separate instruction layers for each model, Aspens keeps them updated on commits through a sync command and optional git hook, so both agents start from the same project knowledge.

// ANALYSIS

Strong idea if you already live in AI-assisted workflows and have felt context drift across tools.

–The repo is not just a doc generator; the import graph and domain discovery make the output more grounded than a flat instruction dump.
–The dual-target support is the useful part: Claude gets hook-aware context, Codex gets document-driven context, and both can be regenerated from the same source of truth.
–The biggest value is operational, not magical: it reduces stale context, but only if your repo hygiene and generated docs stay disciplined.
–This is most compelling for medium-to-large codebases where conventions, domain boundaries, and reuse matter enough to encode.
–I did not find a Product Hunt page for Aspens, so there is no PH URL to include.
