ghostwire // experiment 001v1.1 · real trace

X-ray for
AI agents.

Ghostwire shows what an agent actually did — every step, file, pause and handoff — so you can observe it, debug it and step in. The default view is a real, captured run: the Lovable agent building Ghostwire itself. It shows observable events only, never the model’s private thoughts.
