Agent trace sharing for teams learning prompt patterns together, but adoption-dependent.

Strengths
  • Source-level data stripping (sensitive info never leaves machine) is genuine privacy win vs. centralized logging tools
  • Integrates directly into developer workflows: Homebrew install, automated PR links, multi-agent support (Claude, Cursor, Gemini)
  • Team privacy controls + public/private/link sharing model covers legitimate collab scenarios without forcing exposure
Weaknesses
  • Market exists but undefined: does it replace Langsmith? Complement it? Cleanly positioned competitive advantage unclear
  • Adoption curve entirely depends on team buy-in; single-developer traces are low signal
Target Audience

AI agent developers, ML teams, prompt engineers building with Claude/Gemini/etc.

Post Description

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 community.

2) What about Privacy? You can share publicly, privately, or via direct link. We strip data at source to make sure anything that looks sensitive never leaves your machines. Orgs have more privacy settings as well. But honestly, me saying this is one thing, earning your continued trust is the goal of every release.

If you're interested, just get started at traces.com. You can hop into our Discord, find us on X at x.com/tarunsachdeva / x.com/tracesdotcom.

Thank you!

ClawSouls – Open registry of shareable personas for AI agents

The UX-level idea is neat: treat persona prompts as installable packages and let users swap an agent's 'soul' with a single npx command. The site shows sensible community features — versioning, tags, and quick install snippets — which makes it actually useful beyond a demo. Missing from the landing page: trust signals and runtime guarantees (sanitization, provenance, or safety moderation), so community curation will make or break it.
