Show HN: Orchid – Local-first record and replay for AI agent debugging

100

Orchid (Orchestration interactive debugger) is a zero-instrumentation proxy that captures every API & LLM call in your agent pipeline, then lets you inspect and replay the entire run locally, step by step. No instrumentation, no vendor lock-in, no cloud dependency. It also provides a visual inspector and MCP server, so you can inspect the session yourself or use your favorite agentic coding IDE to debug your agent runs.I built it because I was tired of debugging agent failures by grepping through logs, and the available AI observability tools all seemed to require intrusive instrumentation and/or sending my prompts and responses to a cloud service. I wanted something that would let me debug agent runs locally, without having to worry about vendor lock-in or data privacy.Orchid is that tool. The call inspection features work extremely well, at least for my use cases, but the replay feature is perhaps more interesting. It makes LLM pipeline testing deterministic without mocking or re-run...
