Trails▲81Hey all, Justin here. I previously built Phind, the AI search engine for developers. One of the biggest problems we had there was figuring out what went wrong with bad searches. We had tons of searches per day, but less than 1% of users gave any explicit feedback. So we were either manually digging through searches or making general system improvements and hoping they helped. This problem gets harder with agents. Traces are longer and more complex. It takes more effort to review them, so I'm building a tool that lets you analyze LLM outputs directly to help developers of LLM apps and agents…

Traces is a new way to share and discover agent traces. You can setup a personal or team account, and share publicly or privately (in a team). We use Traces internally to capture and share our agent conversations. Every PR has a Traces link attached to it. We even have skills that can automate that for you (run 'traces setup' after install). You might ask: 1) Why would I share traces? Well, we have found ourselves wanting to learn from each other on how to prompt different models and agents. We built Traces as a tool for teams to learn that together, and for us to learn that as an open…

Hi HN, There’s been a lot of discussion lately around context graphs, decision traces, and how AI systems reason. One thing we kept running into: when AI agents make real decisions, the why behind those decisions often disappears. The context is scattered across prompts, tools, policies, and approvals. Logs show what happened, but not why it was allowed. TraceMem is an attempt to make decision context durable. It records the reasoning, authority, and context behind AI actions as a system of record, not as monitoring data, but as memory. Happy to share more details or answer questions. - Tommi
