code-trace-tree from pidifa/code-trace-tree-vscode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pidifa/code-trace-tree-vscode/code-trace-tree@v1

Pins v1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read, edit, and refresh Code Trace Tree plugin data (VS Code and JetBrains). Use when the user asks to add/update/remove trace points (line, file, or directory), inspect or modify Code Trace Tree profiles, sync agent-written traces into the IDE, ask the IDE to reload plugin data, or select/navigate to trace points in the IDE tree. Prefer scripts/trace_tree.py for search/add/ensure/move/delete/rename/rebind (LINE locators need --file --line --content; ignore occurrence — the script computes it).

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

# Code Trace Tree

Build and display code workflows as nested trees of line, file, and directory
trace points. Use the provided Python scripts to operate the hybrid storage used
by Code Trace Tree IDE plugins, then ask the IDE to reload.

Only edit or sync traces when the user explicitly asks (for example: generate topic-related
nodes, add a tip at a line, rebind after edits). Do not auto-sync every turn.
Never `delete` existing trace points (including ones `rebind` reports as `"invalid"`) unless
the user explicitly asks to remove them.

## How to use this skill

Read this `SKILL.md` only. Do not list, search, or explore this skill's `scripts/` or
`references/` folders, and do not open script source to learn the API. Invoke the documented
Python commands by absolute path.

Open `scripts/` or `references/` only if you hit a **critical problem** while using the skill
(script missing or crashing, storage corrupt, or an error this file does not cover).

**Chat replies:** Script stdout and tree JSON are long. Do not paste them into the user-visible
message. Summarize the result (created/skipped counts, names, errors).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pidifa/code-trace-tree-vscode/code-trace-tree@sha256:1744b1413bb4a8b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, 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.
