Repo Prompt Forensics

A developer tool that reconstructs likely original LLM prompts and generation steps behind a codebase, producing an audit-style report for understanding, reproducing, and governing AI-generated code. Teams increasingly receive “mystery code” created via prompts/agents but lack provenance: what instructions produced it, what assumptions were made, and how to reproduce changes. A prompt-forensics report (with confidence scoring) gives a repeatable workflow for code review, documentation, and controlled regeneration.

Repo Prompt Forensics

A developer tool that reconstructs likely original LLM prompts and generation steps behind a codebase, producing an audit-style report for understanding, reproducing, and governing AI-generated code.

Target customer

Engineering teams adopting AI codegen (tech leads, security/appsec, platform engineering) and prosumer developers who frequently inherit or review AI-generated repos.

Problem-solution fit

Teams increasingly receive “mystery code” created via prompts/agents but lack provenance: what instructions produced it, what assumptions were made, and how to reproduce changes. A prompt-forensics report (with confidence scoring) gives a repeatable workflow for code review, documentation, and controlled regeneration.
