What is included in run history?
Task status, generated prompts, changed file paths, checks, verification debt, and follow-up actions.
Run history
Keep run history across Claude, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT.
AI coding gets messy when every session starts from scratch. RunTrim keeps local run memory visible between sessions.

01 / The problem
What goes wrong
- Past decisions disappear after each session closes.
- Teams repeat failed approaches because prior outcomes are not searchable.
- Without run history, verification debt grows silently.
02 / Root cause
Why this happens
- Most AI coding workflows use ephemeral chat threads.
- Git history alone does not preserve run intent or missing proof state.
- Cross-tool work makes it hard to keep one timeline.
03 / Without RunTrim
Manual workaround
- 1Collect scattered notes from chat, terminal, and commits.
- 2Reconstruct what was attempted and what passed checks.
- 3Create a manual run summary before each follow-up session.
04 / With RunTrim

Privacy and trust
- Source code stays local. RunTrim never uploads it.
- Free CLI requires no account setup.
- RunTrim tracks statuses, generated prompts, changed file paths, protected systems, and local memory.
- Hosted dashboard sync is optional and metadata-only.
05 / FAQ
Common questions
Is run history local or cloud?
Free CLI history is local. Cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.
Can I use run history across different agent tools?
Yes. RunTrim works as a control layer around Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other agent workflows.
Does this replace git history?
No. Git tracks code changes. RunTrim tracks run intent, checks, and continuation state around those changes.

Create continuation prompts when AI coding runs stop mid-task.
Good continuation prompts preserve operational state. They do not ask the next session to rediscover it.
Claude Code context limit? Continue the run without losing state.
When a run stops mid-task, the real cost is lost state. RunTrim keeps what changed, what is missing, and what to do next.
Keep AI coding agents scoped before they edit.
Broad tasks can drift into auth, billing, env, database, middleware, and other sensitive areas. Guardrails reduce that risk.

RunTrim works in your repo. Source code never leaves your machine. Free CLI requires no account. Cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.
