Engineer builds swarm observability toolkit to trace agent filesystem writes, messages and trajectories
strickvl · x · 2026-11-01
Engineer strickvl shares a toolkit he built for AI engineers working with agent swarm traces. It includes a collector tracking everything agents do (filesystem reads/writes, inter-agent messages, traditional traces), a multi-mode viewer for understanding swarm behavior during or after runs, and a simple bundled agent (hodhod) with deterministic tools for quick experimentation. He notes swarm observability is a fast-growing topic, and the visualization work is being praised as a tour de force.
