trace
Show agent flow trace timeline and summary
Best use case
trace is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Show agent flow trace timeline and summary
Teams using trace should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Agent Flow Trace [TRACE MODE ACTIVATED] ## Objective Display the flow trace showing how hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools interacted during this session. ## Instructions 1. **Use `trace_timeline` MCP tool** to show the chronological event timeline - Call with no arguments to show the latest session - Use `filter` parameter to focus on specific event types (hooks, skills, agents, keywords, tools, modes) - Use `last` parameter to limit output 2. **Use `trace_summary` MCP tool** to show aggregate statistics - Hook fire counts - Keywords detected - Skills activated - Mode transitions - Tool performance and bottlenecks ## Output Format Present the timeline first, then the summary. Highlight: - **Mode transitions** (how execution modes changed) - **Bottlenecks** (slow tools or agents) - **Flow patterns** (keyword -> skill -> agent chains)
