# Tracking and auditing automated code changes

Inspect checkpointed agent edits, session logs, and reasoning behind file changes

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=tracking-and-auditing-automated-code-changes)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/tracking-and-auditing-automated-code-changes/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/tracking-and-auditing-automated-code-changes/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askRequest audit of recent edit
- ThenInspect session logs and commit diffs
- ResultPresent rationale and rollback options

Maintain a clear versioned log of edits made during autonomous coding sessions. When debugging unintended file modifications or missing logic, query the bot to trace which session introduced the change, inspect the reasoning recorded at each step, and review candidate rollbacks.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When running development tasks, record discrete checkpoints in the terminal before and after applying code modifications. Document the rationale for each file edit or deletion in session metadata. If the user asks why a change occurred, trace through recent session logs to locate the exact decision point. Always ask for explicit confirmation before deleting files, executing destructive rollbacks, or pushing commits to remote repositories.
