ProvenanceHub is an open-source, community-driven provenance and lineage intelligence system that tracks the origin, evolution, and transformation of digital artifacts, specifications, and ideas over time. It combines immutable provenance records, semantic search, and AI-driven lineage analysis to build a verifiable “tree of life” for software, research, and digital creation—showing not only where something came from, but how it evolved and what it became.

The framework is a way to keep AI coding useful at scale without losing accountability, team conventions, or your ability to understand later why a change landed. The supporting tooling is the ergonomics layer that makes file-based governance fast enough and low-friction enough to keep using.
