Donate your Claude Code traces to an open CC-BY-4.0 dataset

A new open-source tool called Trace Commons allows developers to donate anonymized traces from coding-agent sessions to a CC-BY-4.0 dataset on Hugging Face, aiming to make reasoning data from tools like Claude Code and Codex publicly available for research and community building.

Every coding-agent session is a record of how these tools really work β€” and today that data goes to a few companies. Donate yours instead, anonymized on your machine, to an open dataset anyone can study and build on.

npx skills add trace-commons-ai/donate-trace Then run /donate-trace

after an open-source session. It anonymizes locally, shows what it removed, and sends only when you confirm.

Coding agents improve on data their makers can see. A shared, openly-licensed dataset opens that up to everyone β€” researchers, builders, and the open-source community.

A diff shows where you landed; a trace shows how you got there. That reasoning is what's locked inside a few companies today.

One openly-licensed dataset on Hugging Face anyone can download, study, and build on. It belongs to the community that fills it.

Paths, usernames, and secrets are stripped on your own machine β€” and you review what's left before anything sends.

One installer for every agent. No Hugging Face account needed.

Auto-detects and installs into each agent you use β€” Claude Code, Codex, pi, opencode, and 50+ more.

npx skills add trace-commons-ai/donate-trace After a session on open-source work, run /donate-trace

(pi: /skill:donate-trace ). It confirms the repo is public first.

/donate-trace

See exactly what was removed, then confirm. It opens as a pull request a maintainer reviews before anything goes public β€” anonymous, or attributed if you're logged in.

Every donation is one public row. Open the full dataset on Hugging Face to read, search, and download what's been contributed.

Open infrastructure is built, not given β€” one session at a time. Donate a trace and keep the data behind coding agents open.
