issue-tracer is a skill for Codex from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. It costs 99 tokens per session (372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured workflow for investigating software issues, including bugs, regressions, failed tests, and confusing runtime behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace an issue, reproduce it, identify its root cause, plan or implement a fix, validate the result, and prepare a pull request.
Why use it?
It helps connect a reported symptom to a reproducible cause and keeps the investigation, fix, review, and validation steps organized.

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

issue-tracer 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 it actually says

Issue Tracer

Follow the canonical workflow at ../../../.opencode/skills/issue-tracer/SKILL.md.

Codex Tools

  • File-edit: apply_patch. Tasklist: update_plan. Web: web (cite URLs).
  • Shell: rg, git, gh, tests, builds. Subagent dispatch: per your runner config.

Gates and Delegation

Plan critic (Phase 3), implementation review (Phase 4.5), and final critic (Phase 4.6) require subagent delegation when available. Receive only diff and artifacts from the canonical protocol's .opencode/skills/issue-tracer/references/critic-gate.md. When unavailable, record the failure, run the labeled fallback, and disclose it.

Scripts and Publication

Trace directory created by .opencode/skills/issue-tracer/scripts/trace-init.sh <issue-slug> (from repo root). Deferred-work gate: .opencode/skills/issue-tracer/scripts/scan-deferred.sh. Publication via .agents/skills/commit-pr/SKILL.md only when user asks to commit/push/open PR.

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.
