Show HN: Flocker.md – Portable identity and shared state for agents

Flocker.md launched as a tool giving AI agents portable identity and shared state, posted to Hacker News on August 19, 2026.

Flocker.md launched on August 19, 2026, positioning itself as a tool for portable identity and shared state for AI agents, per a Show HN post by user hcjmartin.

The submission links to flocker.md and describes the project as solving a coordination problem for agents: giving them a consistent identity they can carry across environments and a mechanism for sharing state with other agents. The HN post had 3 points and no comments at the time of indexing.

The project appears aimed at developers building multi-agent systems who need a lightweight, portable way to manage agent identity and synchronize state without coupling agents tightly to a specific runtime or infrastructure. Beyond the product name and its two stated capabilities — portable identity and shared state — the primary source does not provide additional detail on architecture, pricing, or team.

No founding date, funding history, team size, or geographic base is mentioned in the available source material. The author is identified only by the HN handle hcjmartin.

The broader context is a rapidly growing ecosystem of agent orchestration tooling, where managing identity and state across distributed or long-running agents is an active area of development. Flocker.md's framing targets that gap directly, though the source material does not name specific competitors or cite market data. What the project plans to build next, and whether it is a commercial product or open-source tool, is not stated in the HN submission.
