There is a buffer history tool available for the ACT-R Environment which
records every buffer's content whenever there is a change to the buffer's
chunk or the module's states.  It's found in extras/history-tools and is
described in the Environment manual found in the docs directory.

If you just wanted something "raw" you could add an event hook to print
the buffers' contents with buffer-chunk after every event:

(add-post-event-hook (lambda (x) (buffer-chunk-fct (buffers))))

Of course that could be made fancier and only print when the event
actually modified a buffer, only print the modified buffer, print a
subset of buffers, direct the output to a file, etc. as needed.
