DevTrail
Documentation Governance for AI-Assisted Software Development
Welcome
DevTrail ensures that every significant change in your codebase—whether made by a human or AI—is documented, attributed, and reviewable.
“No significant change without a documented trace.”
Why DevTrail?
As AI coding assistants become integral to development, critical questions emerge:
- Who made this change? Human or AI?
- Why was this decision made? What alternatives were considered?
- Should this be reviewed? Is human oversight needed?
- What’s the impact? How risky is this change?
DevTrail answers all of these with structured, traceable documentation.
