Developer builds AI agent activity tracker that logged its own creation

A developer created Tracon, a local desktop app for Mac and Windows that records everything AI coding agents do, including commands run, files edited, and packages installed. The tool was built in response to the lack of audit trails for AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, which typically operate with little human oversight. Tracon flags potentially dangerous actions such as recursive deletes, credential access, and suspicious package installs in real time, but never blocks them. In an ironic twist, the app was largely written by Claude Code itself, and Tracon captured its own construction, including a flagged recursive delete the agent ran mid-build. The project is fully local with no telemetry, open-sourced under AGPL, and its README openly discloses that an AI agent wrote much of the code.
