A local issue tracker and long-term project memory for a coding agent. It applies to the project folder you open and runs through the usetrail package.

Use it to track coding issues and retain project information for later agent sessions. It requires the TRAIL_API_URL and TRAIL_PROJECT environment variables.

It keeps project issues and useful context available beyond one conversation, instead of relying only on temporary chat history.

Security

Grade A, and why

trail 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 6d 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.
