About:
Coterm is a CLI tool by Datadog that captures terminal sessions and converts them into structured, shareable artifacts. It enables developers to record CLI workflows for documentation, code reviews, or audit trails. The tool focuses on making terminal activity searchable and actionable within approval workflows.
Key Features:
  • Terminal session recording and capture
  • Structured output for approvals and documentation
  • CLI-first workflow integration
  • Shareable session artifacts
Use Cases:
  • Documenting CLI workflows for onboarding
  • Capturing operations for change approval processes

Alternatives:

  • script – Unix built-in for basic session recording, no structured output or approval features
