A behind-the-scenes working session with Tarun Sachdeva (@tarunsachdeva) for an upcoming film collaboration.
Tarun is the founder of Traces (@tracesdotcom), a platform for sharing the work you do with coding agents.
In this conversation with @internetvin, he walks through what a trace actually is, opening with a single session and pulling on it until the whole product unfolds: profiles, teams, the CLI, integrations, and the discover feed.

@tracesdotcom demo at @devtoolsTO was so solid i can’t wait to use it
it brings that peek over the shoulder vibe and really encourages peeps to share workflows to discuss and improve upon
Amazing demo of @tracesdotcom by @tarunsachdeva. Instantly one of those ideas that you know is going to be big, sharing agent sessions across teams across harnesses, make your agent sessions multiplayer. Massive unlock for teams. #TorontoTechWeek@devtoolsTO
in traces v0.6.0 you can
- search your local sessions across agents
- launch any of the sessions you see directly in the agent cli (currently mac only)
- view sessions from other people in the orgs you're in, directly from the terminal
I will be demo'ing this and a few other things tonight at @devtoolsTO
beyond tokenmaxxing
the new traces contribution graph is a new view of your team's sessions over time, and a small step in giving you better tools to understand and analyze your sessions
now live for all teams on @tracesdotcom
In 3 weeks at @devtoolsTO:
@tracesdotcom - share agent coding sessions
@polarityco - sandboxes for agent testing
@super_user_app - agents in your team chat
Tidra - AI code maintenance at scale
Docsalot - docs agents can read
Code Pathfinder - trace vulns across your codebase
The traces + git combination works really well now
imagine every commit catching the conversations that generated it, stored as a light reference in a git note and auto-shared and updated as your team rolls
once setup you'll see the reference on every session on traces....
Announcing Traces for Teams
A new way to share coding agent sessions in your team, with a free plan for startups and open source projects and custom plans for larger teams.
We've been using this for a few weeks now and it's really improved how we work together.
