PatchworkThe audit trail for AI coding agents

See exactly what your AI does. Prove it to anyone.

See Everything

Every file edit, command, and web request logged with tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chains. Nothing gets past unrecorded.

Enforce Rules

Define what your AI can and cannot do. Patchwork blocks dangerous actions in real-time — before they execute.

Prove Compliance

Generate reports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and more. 7 frameworks, 31 controls.

Tamper-Evident

A 5-layer architecture, from hash chains to a root-owned relay daemon, makes tampering with the audit trail detectable. Hook-level enforcement is advisory today; OS-level containment arrives in Protected Mode.

Local-First

Your data never leaves your machine. No cloud. No telemetry. Everything works offline.

Cross-Platform

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Supports Claude Code today, with more agents coming.

The Problem

AI agents write code, run commands, and modify your files — but there's no record of what they did, why, or whether it was safe. As organisations adopt AI coding assistants, this becomes a compliance and security gap that regulators are already asking about.

What Patchwork Catches

15:31:04  claude-code   command_execute   rm -rf /                    CRITICAL  DENIED
15:31:05  claude-code   file_read         .env                        HIGH      DENIED
15:31:07  claude-code   command_execute   git push --force origin     HIGH      DENIED
15:31:08  claude-code   command_execute   sudo rm /etc/hosts          CRITICAL  DENIED
15:31:10  claude-code   file_edit         src/auth/middleware.ts       MEDIUM    completed
15:31:12  claude-code   command_execute   npm test                    MEDIUM    completed

Every action is classified, logged, and — if it violates policy — blocked before it executes.

Quick Install

bash

npm install -g patchwork-audit
patchwork init claude-code --strict-profile --policy-mode fail-closed

That's it. Your AI is now audited.
