Release list
v1.3.5
What's New
- Clarify Agent Skill install: Python 3 on PATH; ZIP first;
npxonly if Node.js is present
Install the Plugin with zip file
- Download the release
.zipfile. - Open the IDE plugin settings.
- Select Install Plugin from Disk.
- Choose the downloaded
.zipfile. - Restart the IDE if required.
Agent Skill
This plugin does not ship an AI agent. Install your preferred coding agent,
then install the code-trace-tree skill. Once installed, the agent can auto-load
it when your request is relevant, and the IDE syncs the agent's trace-point changes
as they are written. The skill is general — any agent that can load skill folders
can use it (for example Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or Gemini CLI).
The skill lets the agent:
- Resolve the bound global storage XML for the project
- Search, add, move, and delete trace points
- Rebind line locations after source edits on disk
- Ask the IDE to reload / refresh plugin data
- Select or navigate to nodes in the Code Trace Tree tool window
Agent Skill Installation
Python required: skill ops are Python scripts, so Python 3 must be on PATH
(python3 or python).
Option 1: Install from a ZIP file
Extract the zip by hand, or run the Linux/macOS commands, or run the Windows PowerShell commands.
- Download
code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zipfrom this release (one zip works across agents). - Delete any existing
code-trace-treefolder in the skills directory, then extract the zip there.
Done when the skills directory contains code-trace-tree/SKILL.md
(not the zip file, and not an extra nested code-trace-tree/code-trace-tree folder).
| Agent (examples) | Global | Project-local |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ |
.claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/skills/ |
.cursor/skills/ |
| GitHub Copilot | ~/.copilot/skills/ |
.github/skills/ |
| Codex | ~/.agents/skills/ |
.agents/skills/ |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/skills/ |
.gemini/skills/ |
Or skip the manual extract and install from the command line (use one OS below).
The commands below use Claude Code (~/.claude/skills/) as an example. Replace .claude with your agent from the table (for example .cursor, .copilot, .agents, or .gemini).
Linux & macOS
curl -L https://github.com/saidake/code-trace-tree-jetbrains/releases/download/v1.3.5/code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip -o code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/code-trace-tree
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
unzip code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/
rm code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zipProject-local: unzip into .claude/skills/ (or your agent’s project-local path from the table) instead of the global folder.
Windows PowerShell
Same as the Linux/macOS commands, for Windows. Replace .claude with your agent from the table.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/saidake/code-trace-tree-jetbrains/releases/download/v1.3.5/code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip" -OutFile "code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip"
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$HOME\.claude\skills\code-trace-tree" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME\.claude\skills" | Out-Null
Expand-Archive -Path "code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip" -DestinationPath "$HOME\.claude\skills" -Force
Remove-Item "code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.5.zip"Project-local: extract into .claude\skills\ (or your agent’s project-local path from the table).
Option 2: Install with npx (if you have Node.js)
If you already have Node.js, you can install the skill with npx.
Pass -g for all projects; omit it for this project only.
On Windows, add --copy if symlinks are not available.
If the skill is already installed, remove it first — npx skills add does not overwrite an existing skill.
npx skills remove code-trace-tree -g
npx skills add saidake/code-trace-tree-skill -gOr explicit, non-interactive install for the agent you currently use (Cursor example):
npx -y skills remove code-trace-tree --agent cursor --global --yes
npx -y skills add saidake/code-trace-tree-skill --skill code-trace-tree --agent cursor --global --copy --yesSet --agent to your current agent, for example cursor, claude-code, github-copilot, codex, or gemini-cli.
Or try without installing (Codex example; same --agent values):
npx skills use saidake/code-trace-tree-skill@code-trace-tree --agent codexHow to use the skill
The agent loads global or project-local skills (including the installed code-trace-tree).
Use it in your agent chat:
Help me generate some simple trace points related to the current topic.
Add simple trace points along the call path of method `test`.
v1.3.3
What's New

create_tree.pygenerates a nested workflow in one call (ensures existing nodes, adds new ones) - LINE locators require
--file,--line, and--content; the script computes occurrence - Mutating skill ops auto-create missing storage
- Remove the skill before
npx skills add(add does not overwrite)

- Clarify skill auto-load (project-local vs global) and that the JetBrains IDE loads agent trace changes in real time
- Align version with VS Code / Cursor companions

How to use the skill
Installing the skill makes it available to the agent:
- Project-local — available in agent sessions for that project
- Global — available across projects for that agent
In the JetBrains IDE, keep the plugin open for the same project: it loads the
agent’s trace point changes in real time (no manual reload).
Examples:
Help me generate some trace point nodes related to the current topic.
v1.2.6
What's New
- Align version with VS Code / Cursor companions (Trace Points webview list on those IDEs)
Install the Plugin with zip file
- Download the release
.zipfile. - Open the IDE plugin settings.
- Select Install Plugin from Disk.
- Choose the downloaded
.zipfile. - Restart the IDE if required.
Agent Skill
This plugin does not ship an AI agent. Install one of the supported agents
first (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI), then install
and load the Code Trace Tree skill.
The skill lets the agent:
- Resolve the bound global storage XML for the project
- Search, add, move, and delete trace points
- Rebind line locations after source edits on disk
- Ask the IDE to reload / refresh plugin data
- Select or navigate to nodes in the Code Trace Tree tool window
Python required: trace_tree ops need Python 3 on PATH. Resolve / refresh /
select helpers do not.
Install skill — extract locations
Download code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.6.zip from this release (one zip for all agents).
Remove any existing code-trace-tree skill folder first, then extract into:
| Agent | Global | Project-local |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ |
.claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/skills/ |

How to use the skill
After the skill is installed and loaded, ask the agent in natural language.
Mention the skill name when your agent needs an explicit skill reference:
Skill: code-trace-tree
Help me generate some trace point nodes related to the current topic.
v1.2.5
What's New
- Gate editor and Project View Code Trace Tree actions to project files only (relative
tracePath) - After create, select the new node in the tree without navigating away from the editor
- Agent path-mode storage:
storage-readybody carries project path; prefer existing.ideaid; recreate missing XML with the same id - Double-click still jumps; single-click selects (unchanged)
Install the Plugin with zip file
- Download the release
.zipfile. - Open the IDE plugin settings.
- Select Install Plugin from Disk.
- Choose the downloaded
.zipfile. - Restart the IDE if required.
