Tracing automatically captures every Claude Code conversation, tool call, and interaction by emitting structured JSON spans through lifecycle hooks. This provides complete end-to-end visibility into your coding workflow for debugging and auditing without manual instrumentation.

You need a Braintrust API key and project configuration. The Skill's zero-configuration setup script automatically configures all necessary hooks, so no manual hook registration is required.

Yes. Tracing captures sessions, turns, and tool calls in a hierarchical structure, so you can review exactly what happened—including every file read, edit, and terminal command—in a single view.

Yes. The Skill applies across all Claude Code sessions, capturing and emitting traces to Braintrust for each session, enabling persistent observability across your entire development workflow.

You need jq for JSON processing and curl for sending traces to Braintrust. Both are lightweight CLI tools required to emit structured spans via the four lifecycle hooks.

Tracing captures sessions, turns, and tool calls as hierarchical traces stored in Braintrust, enabling you to review and audit past interactions end-to-end for compliance and debugging.
