# Polygraph (AI)
Polygraph is the Nx team's answer to two limits every coding agent hits: it only sees one repository, and it forgets everything between sessions. They call it a meta-harness. It doesn't replace [[Claude Code]], [[OpenAI Codex]] or [[OpenCode]]; it wraps them with cross-repo visibility and persistent memory. Free during early access, with a promised 30-day notice before any pricing change.
## What it provides
- A "synthetic monorepo": every repository you have access to (private and public) connected into one dependency graph, without moving any code. Monorepo ergonomics, no migration. Very much an Nx idea.
- Recorded agent sessions. Resume, reference, or build on work done by anyone, on any machine, even with a different agent.
- Session handoff with full context: repos, branches, PRs, logs
- One place to follow the PRs and CI runs of a change that spans several repositories
- An MCP server (`@polygraph/mcp`), a CLI, and installable skills and subagents (the `nrwl/polygraph-skills` repo) for [[Claude Code]], Codex, [[OpenCode]], GitHub Copilot, and Gemini
## Why it matters
Agents are already decent inside a single repository. Real organizations don't work that way. The change that matters usually touches a shared library, an API, and three consumers living in three different repos. Polygraph treats cross-repo topology and agent memory as infrastructure instead of something each team rebuilds with CLAUDE.md files and clever prompts. The session recordings double as organizational memory: what was tried, what shipped, by whom, with which agent.
The open question is trust. You're letting a third party index every private repository you have. The security story leans on Nx's existing infrastructure, and the product is young; worth watching before betting a whole organization on it.
