tracely

tracely is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jwuthri/Tracely-ai. It costs 120 tokens per session (2,800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolset for recording what an AI agent does in production and using those records as automated checks in continuous integration, the system that tests code before it is shipped. It can observe common AI libraries automatically or accept manually defined traces for custom code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for instrumenting AI agents, recording model calls and business logic, adding evaluations, finding failure patterns, creating regression cases, and blocking releases when behavior worsens.
Why use it?
It connects real production failures to regression tests, so fixes can be checked later without maintaining a separate test dataset by hand. It also helps investigate missing traces and agent behavior.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

About the project

Tracely is a CI/CD system for AI agents that turns failed production traces into replayable regression tests. Development teams use it to detect and group agent failures, run the resulting cases on pull requests, and block changes that reproduce those failures. The catalogue entries provide skills for operating this trace-based testing and observability workflow.

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

tracely 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tracely

Trace-native CI/CD for AI agents. One loop:

production trace → failure detection → regression test → CI gate

The trace is the source of truth. Evaluators, failure clusters, regression cases, gates and trends are all derived from it — there are no hand-authored datasets. Docs: https://doc.tracely-ai.com.

Pick the path first

Do not start writing spans. Ask what the code already looks like, then pick:

The user's code Path Effort
Calls OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Mistral / Bedrock / Groq SDKs Automatic — init(instrument="auto") 1 line
Uses LangChain / LangGraph / LlamaIndex / CrewAI / LiteLLM Automatic + that extra 1 line
Uses OpenAI Agents SDK / Claude Agent SDK / Google ADK Automatic, named explicitly 1 line
Has business logic worth seeing (routers, tools, retrievers) Automatic + @observe 1 decorator each
Needs spans the auto path can't produce (custom retrievers, guardrails, handoffs, multimodal I/O, hand-rolled providers) Manual context managers references/manual.md
Is TypeScript / Go / Ruby / anything not Python Emit OTLP directly — no SDK references/automatic.md § other languages
Already emits OpenTelemetry / OpenInference / OpenLLMetry Point the existing exporter at Tracely, add 2 attributes references/automatic.md § other languages

Default to automatic. Manual spans are the escape hatch, not the starting point, and the two compose — manual spans nest inside auto-instrumented traces in the same tree.

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.
