Buildermark is an open-source, local-first desktop app that measures AI contribution across your codebase by matching agent diffs to commits. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor, producing a breakdown of which files, functions, and commits involved AI generation — all without sending code to external servers. A browser extension handles import from cloud-based agents, and a Team Server edition for org-level aggregation is planned as a paid self-hosted offering. The tool surfaces metrics like percentage of total lines AI-generated, AI contribution by file type, trend over time, and breakdown by agent (which AI wrote what). For solo developers it's a personal diagnostic; for teams, it becomes a code quality signal — sections with high AI contribution may warrant extra scrutiny in review. Buildermark taps into a growing enterprise need: as AI-generated code becomes the norm, teams, auditors, and compliance officers want provenance data — both for quality assurance and for emerging legal questions around IP ownership of AI-generated work. GitHub doesn't expose this natively, and most agent tools don't track it. Buildermark fills that gap with a zero-cloud approach that enterprise legal teams can actually approve.

claude-cc is a tiny npm-installable bash wrapper around Claude Code that automatically finds and resumes the most recent Claude session for your current git branch when you launch it. It reads .claude/projects/ history, matches by branch name, and passes the --resume flag — or starts fresh if no prior session exists. Supports all native Claude CLI flags. Written in mostly bash with some JavaScript; zero external dependencies beyond Claude CLI and Python 3. Surfaced on Hacker News today, scratching a specific context-loss itch many Claude Code power users have.
Reviewer scorecard
“Unified attribution across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor simultaneously gives me something no single agent tool provides. Commit-level AI attribution is genuinely useful before merging — I want to know if a section is heavily AI-generated so I can give it proportionally more review attention.”
“This is the definition of a tool that should exist. Switching branches to fix a bug, then returning to your feature work, you always lose the conversation thread. claude-cc makes context persistence the default. It's tiny, it has no dependencies, and it does exactly one thing right. Every Claude Code user should have this aliased.”
“Most AI-assisted code is human-modified before commit, creating a false dichotomy between 'AI-written' and 'human-written.' The legal question of IP ownership for AI-generated code is also unresolved, so Buildermark's framing could create more confusion than clarity for compliance teams. Wait for the enterprise edition.”
“This is a 50-line script masquerading as a tool. Anthropic will ship this natively in Claude Code within the next update cycle, at which point claude-cc becomes dead weight. Building a dependency on someone's weekend project for core workflow automation is poor risk management. Just alias the --resume flag yourself and move on.”
“In 18 months, enterprise procurement will ask for AI contribution reports the same way they ask for test coverage reports. Getting a baseline now builds the historical data that future audits will require — and Buildermark's zero-cloud architecture means early adopters won't have to migrate when compliance requirements arrive.”
“The interesting signal here isn't the script — it's the demand. When a tiny utility for session resumption hits Hacker News and resonates, it means developers are spending significant time on persistent AI coding sessions across multiple branches simultaneously. That's a new workflow pattern that tooling hasn't caught up to yet.”
“Having a dashboard that shows my AI usage patterns across projects would genuinely change how I think about skill development. Am I outsourcing the hard parts? Am I improving? Buildermark is the mirror I didn't know I needed — and the fact that it's free and local means there's no reason not to try it.”
“I installed it in 30 seconds and it just worked. The fallback-to-new-session behavior is thoughtful — it never blocks you, it just tries to help. For non-developers who rely on Claude Code for writing or research workflows, this kind of friction reduction matters a lot. Simple tools that do one thing are often the most valuable.”
