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. 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
Python required: trace_tree ops need Python 3 on PATH. Resolve / refresh /
select helpers do not.
Node.js required for npx skills add (ships with npx).
Agent Skill Installation
Option 1: Install with npx (Recommended)
Requires Node.js (npx). Pass -g for all projects; omit it for this project only.
On Windows, use --copy if symlinks are not available.
npx skills add saidake/code-trace-tree-skill -gExplicit, non-interactive Cursor install:
npx -y skills add saidake/code-trace-tree-skill --skill code-trace-tree --agent cursor --global --copy --yesTry without installing:
npx skills use saidake/code-trace-tree-skill@code-trace-tree --agent codexOption 2: Install from a ZIP file
- Download
code-trace-tree-skill-1.3.2.zipfrom this release (one zip works across agents). - Extract it into the skills directory for your agent. When asked, replace the existing
code-trace-treefolder.
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).

How to use the skill
Installing the skill makes it available to the agent:
- Project-local — omit
-g, or extract the zip into the project skills folder - Global — pass
-g, or extract the zip into the global skills folder
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 simple trace points related to the current topic.
Add simple trace points along the call path of method `test`.
