trace

trace is a command for Codex from supernovae-st/nika. It costs 23 tokens per session (557 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A command for reading a run’s flight recorder, a saved record of what happened during an automated workflow. It shows the result, the task that failed, whether the record was altered, and how to resume a paused run.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect run verdicts, identify failing tasks, check record integrity, and continue a paused run.
Why use it?
It puts the important diagnostic information and exact recovery command in one place after a workflow stops or fails.

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 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 3d 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.

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.
