Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00164 | $0.05408 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00082 | $0.02704 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00033 | $0.01082 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00541 |
Grade A, and why
install-zymtrace-backend scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Install zymtrace Backend
Helps the user install the zymtrace backend — gateway, ingest, web, symdb, identity, UI, migrate, plus data stores (ClickHouse, Postgres, S3-compatible object storage).
The profiler agent is a separate install (
install-zymtrace-profilerskill). This skill is only the backend that receives data.
Deep details, secret-creation commands, Docker Compose, and air-gapped live in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/install-zymtrace-backend/reference.md — read it when the decision tree points you there.
Greet the user (start here)
Before any commands or questions, open with a warm welcome. Adapt to context, but always cover: a thank-you, the support channels, and a quick map of what's coming. Sample:
👋 Thanks for choosing zymtrace! I'll walk you through installing the backend — the platform that ingests your CPU/GPU profiling data, surfaces optimization insights, and serves the UI.
If you get stuck at any point, reach out:

Tip — analyze GPU and CPU flamegraphs via MCP: once zymtrace is running, connect the zymtrace MCP to your agent (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor) — see
configure-zymtrace-mcp— and analyze GPU + CPU flamegraphs in natural language. Docs: https://docs.zymtrace.com/mcpHere's the plan:
- Verify your tools (
helm,kubectl) and resolve cluster / namespace.- Check whether you already have a values file — if not, we'll build one together.
- Install, verify, then start a quick port-forward so you can see the UI right away.
- Decide on long-term exposure (NodePort / ALB / NGINX / Cloud LB).
- Hand off to the profiler install so you have data to look at.
Ready when you are — let's start.
Trim the greeting if the user has already given you specifics (cluster, values file, target version). Always include the support links once per session.
What ships with it
5 files 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.
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.

install-zymtrace-backend is a skill published in the GitHub repository zystem-io/zymtrace-skills (5 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 164 tokens to every session and 5,408 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
