trace-review

A command that checks whether project documentation still matches the code. It compares document dates and content with tracked component changes, including renamed or deleted components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review documentation for high-, medium-, and low-severity drift, save the findings, and optionally start a synchronization command for serious issues.
Why use it?
Documentation can become inaccurate as code changes. This command identifies and ranks those mismatches so outdated information can be corrected.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

trace-review 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Review project documentation for drift — places where docs no longer match code reality.

Instructions

  1. Read .codetape/component-map.json for component modification dates
  2. Read .codetape/config.json for sync target paths
  3. Follow @references/drift_detection.md for severity classification rules
  4. For each sync target document: a. Compare component last_modified dates against document file modification time b. Semantically compare document content against recent trace summaries c. Check for references to deleted or renamed components d. Classify drift severity (high/medium/low)
  5. Write results to .codetape/drift.json
  6. Display drift report grouped by severity
  7. If high-severity issues found, offer to run /trace-sync to fix them

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
