AI coding agents now run real shell commands on your machine — rm -rf, git push --force, DROP TABLE, dd, writes straight to disk. Almost always that's fine. The one time it isn't (a hallucinated path, a prompt-injected instruction, a confident wrong guess) there's no undo and you find out after.Kintsugi sits between the agent and your system. It catches the dangerous command before it runs, explains it in one plain sentence, makes destructive actions reversible with a snapshot, and writes every command every agent ran to an append-only, hash-chained log you own. Local-first: no cloud, no account, nothing leaves the machine.It's not only for AI. A passive bash/zsh recorder (no agent involved) puts every command a person runs on the same tamper-evident log and snapshots the destructive ones just-in-time — so `kintsugi undo` rolls back a DBA's fat-fingered rm -rf or clobbering overwrite the same way it rolls back an agent's.
