shadow-diff 1.2.0

Git-native behavioral diff and shadow deployment for LLM agents.

shadow

Catch AI-agent regressions before they hit production.

Shadow is a PR-native diff tool for LLM agents — it records your agent's calls, replays them under a new config, and tells you what changed across nine behavioural dimensions.

Install

pip install shadow

# With Anthropic support:
pip install 'shadow[anthropic]'

# With OpenAI support:
pip install 'shadow[openai]'

# With both + embeddings:
pip install 'shadow[anthropic,openai,embeddings]'

Requires Python 3.11 or newer.

Quickstart

from shadow.sdk import Session

with Session(output_path="trace.agentlog"):
    # Your existing Anthropic / OpenAI code — unchanged.
    client.messages.create(model="claude-sonnet-4-6", messages=[...])

Shadow automatically patches the Anthropic and OpenAI SDKs to capture every request/response. Secrets are redacted by default.

Then in CI:

shadow replay new-config.yaml --baseline trace.agentlog
shadow diff trace.agentlog candidate.agentlog
shadow bisect old-config.yaml new-config.yaml --traces trace.agentlog
