About Spotlight by Backplanes
Spotlight by Backplanes is a tool that generates session reports for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to help you improve your code.
Its focus is narrow on purpose: it reads your coding-agent sessions and turns them into reports, working through a web-based interface. That web-only setup is also its main limit — there's no native IDE or terminal extension, so the reports live in the browser rather than in your editor.
It fits developers who run Claude Code or Codex and want a review layer over how those sessions went. It won't fit teams on other AI coding agents, since it supports only those two.
Among coding-assistant tools, Spotlight sits on the analysis side rather than the code-generation side, reporting on agent sessions instead of writing the code itself.
