git clone https://github.com/salarkhannn/ghostlog
cd ghostlog
go build -o ghostlog .Requirements: Go 1.23+, git in $PATH. No CGO. No external runtime.
ghostlog -repo /path/to/projectStart ghostlog before launching your AI agent. The TUI opens immediately and starts watching for commits in a separate terminal.
# Terminal 1
ghostlog -repo ~/my-project
# Terminal 2 (or use Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, etc.)
cd ~/my-project && aiderExport Session Manifest Export a JSONL manifest of the burst log with metadata and complexity deltas:
ghostlog export -session /path/to/project -out manifest.jsonlCI Gate Mode Run ghostlog in a headless mode in CI pipelines to block complex or untested AI code:
ghostlog check -session /path/to/project -fail-on complexity,coverage -max-complexity-delta 10 -min-coverage-touch 0.8| Key | Action |

Burst — A group of commits that arrive within 5 seconds of each other. AI agents often make 5–20 rapid commits in a single task; grouping them into bursts makes the session readable at a glance.
Agent Speed — Rolling 60-second window of commits/min. Spikes indicate the agent is actively writing code.
Filtering — Empty commits (no file changes) are silently ignored.
Any agent that commits to git: Aider, Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, OpenHands, custom scripts.
