What it does

Runtime Evidence And Tracing is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when connecting observed behavior, logs, metrics, request IDs, run IDs, screenshots, traces, external dependency results, or artifacts into a runtime evidence loop.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/build-when-missing.md` and `references/runtime-profile-policy.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Connecting observed behavior
  • External dependency results
  • Artifacts into a runtime evidence loop

Example prompts

  • “/runtime-evidence-and-tracing”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search request wrappers, service entrypoints, logs, metrics, and trace scripts.
  2. Confirm whether the calling surface can generate or propagate X-Request-ID and X-Harness-Run-ID.
  3. If no evidence contract exists, bootstrap the minimum run artifact contract from references/build-when-missing.md.
  4. Design artifacts/runs// with manifest, summary, logs, network, screenshots, and trace files.
  5. Define the collection order for the target flow: start, authenticate if needed, operate, wait, read artifacts, and attribute the result.
  6. Define blocker categories: code regression, environment unavailable, external dependency unavailable, data missing, and not evaluable.
  7. Explain how PRs or ledgers should reference artifacts without committing large temporary files.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Runtime Evidence And Tracing loads about 950 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~950
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when connecting observed behavior, logs, metrics, request IDs, run IDs, screenshots, traces, external dependency results, or artifacts into a runtime evidence loop.

Runtime Evidence And Tracing

Overview

Make runtime validation auditable by tying observed behavior to runtime evidence through stable IDs and artifacts.

Agents should not only say they tested something; they should leave run IDs, request IDs, logs, screenshots, interaction records, or traces. For shared harness terms, see ../../references/harness-patterns.md; when evidence surfaces are absent, use references/build-when-missing.md. For neutral runtime profiles and redaction policy, see references/runtime-profile-policy.md.

When To Use

  • The user asks to connect, diagnose, or design interactive validation, runtime validation, request IDs, traces, logs, metrics, or artifacts.
  • A production or test-environment issue must be traced from observed behavior to runtime evidence.
  • A flow with external dependencies needs classification as code failure, dependency blocker, environment issue, or data problem.

Inputs Needed

  • Target flow, entry action, command, or interface.
  • Existing logging, request wrapper, headers, and observability endpoints.
  • Artifact directory and run ID naming preference.

Execution Order

  • First: Find the request entrypoint and existing request/log/trace propagation points.
  • Then: Design run IDs, request IDs, artifact bundles, and collection commands.
  • Finally: Output the evidence contract and validation path, including fallback and blocker classification.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Search request wrappers, service entrypoints, logs, metrics, and trace scripts.
  2. Confirm whether the calling surface can generate or propagate X-Request-ID and X-Harness-Run-ID.
  3. If no evidence contract exists, bootstrap the minimum run artifact contract from references/build-when-missing.md.
  4. Design artifacts/runs/<run_id>/ with manifest, summary, logs, network, screenshots, and trace files.
  5. Define the collection order for the target flow: start, authenticate if needed, operate, wait, read artifacts, and attribute the result.
  6. Define blocker categories: code regression, environment unavailable, external dependency unavailable, data missing, and not evaluable.
  7. Explain how PRs or ledgers should reference artifacts without committing large temporary files.

Checks

  • Propagation: request ID and run ID remain searchable across caller, service, job, and external dependency evidence.
  • Artifact: the directory includes manifest, summary, and reproducible commands.
  • Evidence: screenshots, console, network, logs, and metrics cover the failure boundary.
  • Attribution: external dependency or environment blockers are not reported as product-quality failures.
  • Privacy: artifacts do not contain tokens, phone numbers, real secrets, or sensitive payloads.

Common Mistakes

  • Keeping only screenshots with no request ID or runtime evidence.
  • Creating traces only in one layer, leaving observed failures disconnected.
  • Treating external account or quota issues as product-quality failures.
  • Committing large artifacts instead of referencing paths and summaries.

Example Prompts

  • "Connect interactive validation to request IDs."
  • "Design artifacts/runs evidence for this runtime workflow."
  • "How should this failure be classified: code, environment, or external blocker?"
