Proof of agent work

Updated: July 2026

Proof of agent work is a recording that documents what an AI agent did on screen, captured as a readable AREC document others can review.

Agents can record with Clipy, not just read. One-command setup lets Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor capture their own work: a one-shot recording, a live session with marks, or a real Mac window. The result is an agent-readable recording whose markdown twin shows the steps, the key moments, and the narration, so the work is auditable instead of invisible.

For example, an agent tasked with fixing the Export CSV bug can record its session as it reproduces the failure and applies the fix. The markdown twin becomes a reviewable trail: what it clicked, when, and why, linked to the same share URL.

Recording is free; Google sign-in saves and shares it.
