trace

trace is a skill for Claude Code from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. It costs 104 tokens per session (3,429 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool for locating projects, code, documents, and past work across repositories and Git history. An Oracle is a separate knowledge store used for searching recorded project information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find code or projects in the current or another repository, search commit history and saved knowledge, and record the results for later searches.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search each repository, document source, or past session separately when trying to find something.

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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/dig.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/trace - Unified Discovery System

Find + Measure + Log + Distill

Usage

/trace [query]                    # Current repo (default --smart)
/trace [query] --oracle           # Oracle only (fastest)
/trace [query] --deep             # Wave execution (thorough)
/trace [query] --deep --dig       # Combo: trace deep + dig session mining (parallel)
/trace [query] --repo [path]      # Search specific local repo
/trace [query] --repo [url]       # Clone to ghq, then search

/dig alone mines sessions. --dig flag on /trace runs both together.

Directory Structure

ψ/memory/traces/
└── YYYY-MM-DD/              # Date folder
    └── HHMM_[query-slug].md # Time-prefixed trace log

Trace logs are committed - they become Oracle memory for future searches.


Step 0: Timestamp + Calculate Paths

date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"
ROOT="$(pwd)"
TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
TIME=$(date +%H%M)

Step 1: Detect Target Repo

Default: Current repo

TARGET_REPO="$ROOT"
TARGET_NAME="$(basename $ROOT)"

With --repo [path]: Local path

TARGET_REPO="[path]"
TARGET_NAME="$(basename [path])"

With --repo [url]: Clone to ghq first

URL="[url]"
ghq get -u "$URL"
GHQ_ROOT=$(ghq root)
OWNER=$(echo "$URL" | sed -E 's|.*github.com/([^/]+)/.*|\1|')
REPO=$(echo "$URL" | sed -E 's|.*/([^/]+)(\.git)?$|\1|')
TARGET_REPO="$GHQ_ROOT/github.com/$OWNER/$REPO"
TARGET_NAME="$OWNER/$REPO"
echo "✓ Cloned to ghq: $TARGET_REPO"

Note: /trace only clones to ghq. Use /learn to create docs in ψ/learn/.


Step 2: Create Trace Log Directory

mkdir -p "$ROOT/ψ/memory/traces/$TODAY"
TRACE_FILE="$ROOT/ψ/memory/traces/$TODAY/${TIME}_[query-slug].md"

Mode 1: --oracle (Oracle Only)

Fastest. Just Oracle MCP, no subagents.

arra_search("[query]", limit=15)

Display results and done. Even if empty.


Mode 2: --smart (Default)

Oracle first → auto-escalate if results < 3

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
