What it does
Opentraces is an agent skill from JayFarei/opentraces. Search and use local OpenTraces agent traces, inspect capture status, and build datasets from captured Pi/Claude/Codex sessions.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: A local-first evidence layer for agent work, capturing what the agent sees, does, and changes.
When your agent uses it
- DevOps & Cloud work in your project
Example prompts
- “/opentraces”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354755d. 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 bash).
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
Opentraces loads about 436 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 191 words (~436 tokens).
“Use OpenTraces when the user asks about prior agent work, captured traces, bucket search, Trace Trails, Context Tree evidence, capsules, standups, or workflow-built datasets.”
