How to trace a commit back to the agent session that wrote it with Flopwire

Find the session behind a commit and read the command and result evidence it produced.

Who it is forA developer reviewing an unfamiliar commit made with an AI agent who needs to know why the change was made.

The problemThe commit message says what changed but not the reasoning, and the original agent session is hard to find among many past chats.

The outcomeThe reviewer gets the session that produced the commit, with its command and result evidence, and can read the conversation behind the change.

What you need first

  • macOS or Linux (arm64 or amd64) with a shell
  • At least one supported harness CLI installed, such as Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, Devin CLI, or opencode
  • Docker with Compose, only for the team server use case
  • A shared team server address and a way to send an invite string over a channel you trust, only for the team server use case

Steps

  1. Run curl -fsSL https://flopwire.com/install.sh | sh to install the Flopwire binary.
  2. Run flopwire setup to configure supported harnesses detected on PATH.
  3. Run flopwire agent run and keep it running so this machine's transcripts get indexed.
  4. Run flopwire trace <full-commit-id> with the full commit ID to get the session that produced the commit. (inferred, check the README)
  5. Open the returned session with flopwire read or the flopwire_read tool to read the conversation behind the change. (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

In the flopwire/flopwire repo context, run the trace command for the full commit ID <commit-sha> and report the session ID and the command and result evidence it returns. Verify that the session ID appears in `flopwire sessions --repo . --since 30d`.

Caveat. Trace only works on transcripts the device agent has indexed, so it needs the agent running and path rules that allow the repository.
