Auto-invokes for every Claude turn during active T4 task execution. Emits append-only trace events (file_read, output_claim, tool_call, decision) to .claude/plans/traces/{TASK_ID}.jsonl. Source of grounding-discipline checks. Disable: AF_TRACE_DISABLED=true.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reasoning Trace Recorder
Forensic reproducibility. Append-only; never calls an LLM, never edits plan files or prunes traces.
## Behavior
1. **Detect:** no `.claude/plans/active.json`, or `active.task` null, or `AF_TRACE_DISABLED=true` → exit silently
2. **Append** one JSON line per emitted event to `.claude/plans/traces/{TASK_ID}.jsonl` (one file per T4 task)
## Event types
`file_read` · `output_claim` (with `grounded: bool` + `grounded_by`) · `tool_call` · `tool_result` · `decision` · `phase_transition`.
**Grounding rule (spec §11.1):** an `output_claim` is grounded when ≥1 prior `file_read` in the same trace covers the named file/function/symbol. Ungrounded claims are flagged and surfaced via `/aura-frog:trace --hallucinations`.
## Budget
≤500 events per task target; >1000 events → `trace_overflow` flag via post-execute-update-node hook.
**Detail (JSON schema, per-type payload fields, tie-ins):** `skills/reasoning-trace-recorder/reference.md` — load on demand only.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog/reasoning-trace-recorder@sha256:96893e090616fd31The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.7cc066c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
