madelog keeps a public record of how an AI-assisted project was made
An open-source command-line tool records commits, AI sessions, bugs, and one-sentence decisions, then turns the selected material into a shareable project page.
- For
- AI-assisted developers showing their work to hiring teams
- Worth noticing
- The example record reports 27 commits, 9 decisions, and 4 moments, with review controls before publication.
Field notes
madelog uses a Git hook to collect commits and Git AI-attributed sessions, while `madelog note` adds a short rationale at a chosen commit. Its terminal publishing flow lets the author review entries, hide sessions, edit summaries, and generate a static page plus verification URL. The site says records remain in `.madelog/log.db` until publication and can be exported as JSON. The example record contains 27 commits, 9 decisions, and 4 moments.
