Donate yours instead, anonymized on your machine, to an open dataset **anyone can study and build on**.\n\n`npx skills add trace-commons-ai/donate-trace`\n\nThen run `/donate-trace`\n\nafter an open-source session. It anonymizes locally, shows what it removed, and sends only when you confirm.\n\nCoding agents improve on data their makers can see. A shared, openly-licensed dataset opens that up to everyone — researchers, builders, and the open-source community.\n\nA diff shows where you landed; a trace shows how you got there. That reasoning is what's locked inside a few companies today.\n\nOne openly-licensed [dataset on Hugging Face](#) anyone can download, study, and build on. It belongs to the community that fills it.\n\nPaths, usernames, and secrets are stripped on your own machine — and you review what's left before anything sends.\n\nOne installer for every agent. No Hugging Face account needed.\n\nAuto-detects and installs into each agent you use — Claude Code, Codex, pi, opencode, and 50+ more.\n\n`npx skills add trace-commons-ai/donate-trace`\n\nAfter a session on open-source work, run `/donate-trace`\n\n(pi: `/skill:donate-trace`\n\n). It confirms the repo is public first.\n\n`/donate-trace`\n\nSee exactly what was removed, then confirm. It opens as a pull request a maintainer reviews before anything goes public — anonymous, or attributed if you're logged in.\n\nEvery donation is one public row. Open the full dataset on Hugging Face to read, search, and download what's been contributed.\n\nOpen infrastructure is built, not given — one session at a time. Donate a trace and keep the data behind coding agents open.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/donate-your-claude-code-traces-to-an-open-cc-by-4-0-dataset", "canonical_source": "https://trace-commons-web.hf.space/", "published_at": "2026-06-22 08:00:14+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-22 08:10:38.133683+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "ai-research", "ai-ethics"], "entities": ["Claude Code", "Codex", "Hugging Face", "Trace Commons"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/donate-your-claude-code-traces-to-an-open-cc-by-4-0-dataset", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/donate-your-claude-code-traces-to-an-open-cc-by-4-0-dataset.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/donate-your-claude-code-traces-to-an-open-cc-by-4-0-dataset.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/donate-your-claude-code-traces-to-an-open-cc-by-4-0-dataset.jsonld"}}
