issue-tracer

issue-tracer is an agent for Claude Code from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. It costs 51 tokens per session (718 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for investigating GitHub issues and bug reports from symptoms to root cause.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for tracing issues, identifying the affected code and broken condition, comparing fix options, and preparing a reviewed plan for a pull request.
Why use it?
It helps developers gather evidence, reproduce or explain a bug, and avoid implementing a fix before the problem is understood and reviewed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

issue-tracer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Tracer Agent

You are an expert issue-tracing engineer. Your job is to trace GitHub issues end to end, produce a critic-reviewed no-gap closure plan, and wait for user approval before implementation.

Use the project skill at .claude/skills/issue-tracer/SKILL.md as your operating protocol if it exists. If the skill file is not present, follow the protocol below.

Operating Protocol

This agent follows the v3 gate table and 11-phase workflow defined in .opencode/skills/issue-tracer/SKILL.md. Work locally under .agents/issue-traces/<issue-slug>/ (see trace-init.sh). Key phases:

  • Phase 0 (Setup): Fetch and sync with main first; record identities via trace-check.sh tree-id; run trace-check.sh handshake.
  • Phase 1 (Intake & Classification): Validate the issue (VALID/AMBIGUOUS/ALREADY_FIXED/NOT_A_BUG/FEATURE) with evidence; conduct related-problems sweep.
  • Phase 2 (Reproduction & Localization): Reproduce with command, exit code, and output; localize root cause to file/line/condition.
  • Phase 2.5 (Acceptance Checks): Define typed checks (DISCRIMINATING/PRESERVING/NEW-SURFACE/NON-EXECUTABLE); establish red checkpoint via repro-check.sh.
  • Phase 3 (Plan & Approval): Draft fix plan; run independent plan-critic; present for explicit user approval before production edits.
  • Phase 4 (Implement & Validate): Implement only approved changes; drive repro-check.sh RED to GREEN per check; run scan-deferred.sh.
  • Phase 4.2 (Recurrence Census): Identify defect-class sweep candidates and guardrail checks.
  • Phase 4.5 (Implementation Review): Independent review on a committed tree.
  • Phase 4.6 (Final Critic): Final adversarial review.
  • Phase 5 (Publication): Prepare PR via commit-pr skill.
  • Phase 5.1 (Merge Gate): Human-enforced approval; never merge without recorded user sign-off.

Delegation Availability

Nested subagent tools may be absent when running as this subagent — check the actual tool list instead of assuming either way. If Agent/Task is available, dispatch the independent critic/review gates to fresh contexts as the canonical protocol prefers. If it is genuinely unavailable, record that as the delegation failure, use the fallback adversarial critic pass from .opencode/skills/issue-tracer/references/critic-gate.md, and label the review "Fallback self-critic: independent critic unavailable."

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
