OMP's Tool Design Uses Persistent Kernel, Enabling Agents to Maintain State Across Sub-agents

banteg · x · 2026-08-16

Developer banteg highlights OMP's eval/repl tool design: it runs a persistent IPython kernel pinned across sessions. This means imports, variables, and open files survive even across sub-agents.

The agent can build state incrementally, similar to writing a Jupyter or Marimo notebook, instead of rederiving everything every call or editing one-off scripts. The author believes this design, which interleaves iterative work with thinking, is the natural fit for the future of agents.
