agent-receipts

Append-only local receipts for AI agent actions: capture commands, outputs, and handoff evidence, then expose them to agents over MCP.

🎯 Why?

Trending agent projects increasingly mention evidence logs, verifiable handoffs, and agent observability, but most solutions are large frameworks or platform-specific hubs. Developers using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or custom agents need a tiny local-first tool that simply records what happened and proves it was not edited. agent-receipts fills that gap with a zero-depend CLI plus a minimal MCP adapter.

Target audience: Developers running AI coding agents, agent-framework authors, and platform/security engineers who need lightweight local audit trails, reproducible handoffs, and evidence that an agent really ran a command or completed a step.
