Judgement

What it is
Developer tool
What it does
Builds a graph of a git repository that links each commit to the coding agent prompts and files read behind it, from Claude Code and Codex transcripts on disk. It adds drift detection, a risk score, a data-loss audit of what agents read and an MCP memory for agents.
Adopt it when
Coding agents write much of your code and you need to trace which prompt produced a change and what the agent had access to.
Watch out
It is four months old at version 0.1 and reads agent transcripts, which may contain sensitive material.
