trace

trace is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mrzhangguoguo/oh-my-workbuddy. It costs 25 tokens per session (248 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deprecated runtime-inspection guide for following code paths, checking application behavior, and examining state. It has been replaced by ordinary repository and debugging tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Do not invoke it. Inspect source files and state directly, and run the project's own tests, debugging commands, or observability tools when investigating behavior.
Why use it?
The old workflow depended on runtime conventions that are no longer used, so it can lead to incorrect inspection steps.

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 12d 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 it actually says

Ported from oh-my-codex trace. OMX runtime conventions ($macro invocation, omx CLI, .omx/ state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list, .workbuddy/memory).

Trace — deprecated

Hard-deprecated. Do not invoke or route this skill.

When you need trace/runtime evidence, use WorkBuddy-native inspection instead:

  • Source navigation: Grep / Glob / Read to follow call paths.
  • Runtime behavior: run the project's own test/debug/observability commands via Bash.
  • State inspection: read relevant files directly (no .omx/ state directory exists).

If a dedicated investigation skill fits the request better, invoke it via the Skill tool (e.g. skill: research for deep investigation, skill: analyze for code analysis).

Changes

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.

trace is a skill published in the GitHub repository mrzhangguoguo/oh-my-workbuddy (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 248 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
