re_gent: A Version Control System for AI Coding Agents

re_gent: Version Control Tool for Tracking AI Coding Agent Activity

Summary

re_gent is a new version control tool specifically designed for AI coding agents. Unlike traditional Git which tracks code changes, re_gent tracks what the AI agent did step-by-step to produce those changes. It allows users to trace agent actions, blame code changes back to specific prompts/sessions, rewind agent work across both code and conversation history, and preserve history even when sessions are compacted or fragmented. The tool addresses the common problem of reconstructing an AI agent's actions after it breaks something or deletes code.

Key quotes

· 5 pulled
Git tells you what changed, but not what the agent did to get there.
When an agent breaks something, or if it decides to just delete necessary code we're often stuck reconstructing the session from memory
Trace what your agent did, step by step
Blame a line of code back to the prompt/session that caused it
Rewind agent work across code and conversation
Snippet from the RSS feed
Git for your AI agent’s actions. Undo, trace, and control every step. re_gent shows what your coding agent changed, which prompt caused it, and lets you roll back agent work across files and sessions.
