AI Engineer Tools: Open-source collectors capture AI coding agent activity as structured events for analytics.
AI Engineer Tools provides open-source collectors for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf, along with an editor extension for VS Code and Cursor. It captures agent activity as structured events without prompts, responses, source code, or command output. Designed for local-first use, events are written to a local file or sent to internal analytics tools. It maintains a single event schema across different agents and operates without requiring an Ascenda account by default. The project also includes Waterline, a macOS screen saver, and Ascenda Flow to visualize coding agent workflows.
