What's New

  • Recheck Trace Availability: reload bound storage and validate all line/file/directory traces; tiered peer refresh signals (request_refresh / _profile / _settings)
  • Rebind LINE traces when focusing or jumping into a file (including cached open documents); content-rebind after bulk external rewrites
  • Toolbar: Remove Invalid Trace Points; Import/Export moved into Advanced Settings; context menu Copy Label
  • Fix Delete on a right-clicked node when selection is stale; stabilize highlight toggle; preserve selection across self profile-refresh echoes
  • Scope disk watching to open LINE buffers and path tips

Install the Extension with vsix file

  1. Download the release .vsix file (code-trace-tree-vscode-X.Y.Z.vsix).
  2. In VS Code / Cursor: Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX…
    (or Command Palette: Extensions: Install from VSIX…).
  3. Choose the downloaded .vsix file.
  4. Reload the window if prompted.

Agent Skill

This extension 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 view

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-1.2.9.zip from this release (one zip works across agents).
Remove any existing code-trace-tree skill folder first, then extract into your
agent’s skills directory. Known paths for some agents:

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/

Install example (Claude Code, Linux & macOS)

curl -L https://github.com/saidake/code-trace-tree-vscode/releases/download/v1.2.9/code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip -o code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip
rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/code-trace-tree
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
unzip code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/
rm code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip

Project-local: extract into .claude/skills/ instead of ~/.claude/skills/.
For other agents, use the same zip and extract into that agent’s skills path
(see the table above for examples).

Install example (Claude Code, Windows PowerShell)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/saidake/code-trace-tree-vscode/releases/download/v1.2.9/code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip" -OutFile "code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.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-1.2.9.zip" -DestinationPath "$HOME\.claude\skills" -Force
Remove-Item "code-trace-tree-skill-1.2.9.zip"

Project-local: extract into .claude\skills\. For other agents, use the same zip
and change the destination to that agent’s skills path (see the table above for examples).

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 VS Code, keep the extension 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.
