tapes

Capture, store, and query LLM session telemetry

Captures LLM API calls through a transparent proxy and stores them in an immutable, append-only log. Projects raw interactions into browsable sessions, traces, and spans with deterministic IDs and built-in deduplication. Eliminates manual logging and guesswork when auditing agent behavior, token usage, and costs. Serves everything over a REST API for fast querying, stats, and export.

Available:

Gives coding agents the project architecture, CLI boundaries, testing conventions, and build commands needed to work on this Go telemetry system correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install tapes?โ–ผ

Run `npx skills add papercomputeco/tapes --all -g -y` in your terminal to install everything globally.

What does tapes do?โ–ผ

Tapes intercepts LLM API calls through a transparent proxy, stores them in an immutable log, and turns them into queryable sessions, traces, and spans.

How do I capture an agent session with tapes?โ–ผ

Start the server with `tapes serve`, then launch your agent through the companion `tapesctl start` command, which routes traffic through the capture proxy automatically.

Does tapes need a database?โ–ผ

Yes, it stores sessions in PostgreSQL, and the bundled `tapes local up` command spins up Postgres plus a local Ollama model via Docker for you.

Can I search and export past agent sessions?โ–ผ

Yes. The REST API offers session listing, trace browsing, span-level stats, semantic search, and JSONL export of any captured session.
