AgentTrace

AgentTrace is a local-first command-line tool for recording audit trails of AI-assisted coding work.

It helps you answer:

What changed, what tests ran, what review happened, and what evidence supports the final result?

Basic Workflow

init -> start -> snapshot -> add-test -> add-review -> report

In plain English:

  1. Set up AgentTrace in your Git project.
  2. Start tracking a coding task.
  3. Capture the changed files and diff.
  4. Record tests or manual QA.
  5. Add review notes.
  6. Generate a final report.

What AgentTrace Creates

AgentTrace writes local evidence into a .agenttrace folder in your project.

The most useful outputs are:

  • report.md: the final report for one task
  • pr-description.md: a pull-request-ready summary
  • dashboard.html: a local dashboard across recorded runs
