See how you really use AI.

X-ray your AI coding sessions across Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and 6 more tools. Discover your patterns, find wasted tokens, catch leaked secrets — all locally, nothing leaves your machine.

pip install ctxray

ctxray scan                    # discover prompts from your AI tools
ctxray wrapped                 # your AI coding persona + shareable card
ctxray insights                # your patterns vs research-optimal
ctxray privacy                 # what sensitive data you've exposed

Drop ctxray into your CI as a prompt quality gate. No LLM, no API key, no network — <50ms per prompt.

# .github/workflows/prompt-quality.yml
- uses: ctxray/ctxray@main
  with:
    score-threshold: 43    # experimentally validated quality threshold
    model: claude          # model-specific rules (claude/gpt/gemini)
    comment-on-pr: true

# .pre-commit-config.yaml

      # or: id: ctxray-lint-claude  # Claude-specific rules + threshold

• Deterministic — same prompt, same score, every run. No flaky LLM-based checks.
• Air-gapped — runs in offline and private networks. All analysis stays on your infrastructure.
• Configurable — .ctxray.toml or [tool.ctxray.lint] in pyproject.toml. Per-project rules.

ctxray wrapped generates a Spotify Wrapped-style report of your AI interactions — your persona (Debugger? Architect? Explorer?), top patterns, and a shareable card.

ctxray insights compares your actual prompting habits against research-backed benchmarks. Are your prompts specific enough? Do you front-load instructions? How much context do you provide?

ctxray privacy --deep scans every prompt you've sent for API keys, tokens, passwords, and PII. See exactly what you've shared with which AI tool.

ctxray check "your prompt" scores, lints, and rewrites in one command — no LLM, <50ms.

Experimentally validated on 3000+ LLM calls across 8 models (1.5B → 27B): prompts at or above score 43 hit ~93% pass rate on executable code tests. Below 43 they average 72% or lower. ctxray tells you which side you're on and what to fix — see experiments/RESULTS.md for the full cross-model data.

ctxray check "fix the auth bug in login.ts"        # threshold pass/fail + diagnostics
ctxray check "fix bug" --model claude               # model-specific scoring for Claude
ctxray check "refactor middleware" --threshold 50    # custom threshold for stricter teams

What a bad prompt looks like

pip install ctxray              # core (all features, zero config)
pip install ctxray[chinese]     # + Chinese prompt analysis (jieba)
pip install ctxray[mcp]         # + MCP server for Claude Code / Continue.dev / Zed

ctxray install-hook             # adds post-session hook to Claude Code

Capture prompts from ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini directly in your browser. Live quality badge shows prompt tier as you type — click "Rewrite & Apply" to improve and replace the text directly in the input box.

1. Install the extension from Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons
2. Connect to the CLI: ctxray install-extension
3. Verify: ctxray extension-status

Captured prompts sync locally via Native Messaging — nothing leaves your machine.

After Promptfoo joined OpenAI and Humanloop joined Anthropic, ctxray is the independent, open-source alternative for understanding your AI interactions.

• 100% local — your prompts never leave your machine
• No LLM required — pure rule-based analysis, <50ms per prompt
• 9 AI tools — the only tool that works across Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and more
• Research-backed — calibrated against 10 peer-reviewed papers, not vibes

Previously published as reprompt-cli. Same tool, new name, clean namespace.

• All analysis runs locally. No prompts leave your machine.
• ctxray privacy shows exactly what you've sent to which AI tool.
• Optional telemetry sends only anonymous feature vectors — never prompt text.
• Open source: audit exactly what's collected.

• PyPI: ctxray
• Chrome Extension: Chrome Web Store
• Firefox Add-on: Firefox Add-ons
• Changelog: CHANGELOG.md
