What problem does it solve?
It helps you understand why an observed outcome happened by turning ambiguous “why” questions into an evidence-driven comparison of competing explanations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-first tracing: Separates the observation, competing hypotheses, evidence for/against, and the single leading explanation while explicitly tracking gaps and uncertainty.
- Parallel hypothesis lanes in team mode: Orchestrates multiple tracer workers to gather distinct evidence streams and avoid converging on the same guess too early.
- Falsification-driven rigor: Applies rules to actively disconfirm the top hypothesis, perform a rebuttal round, and recommend the most discriminating next probe.
Quick Start
Use /oh-my-claudecode:trace with a description of the observed behavior and what you want explained, then ask it to produce ranked hypotheses with the critical unknown and the next probe to collapse uncertainty.
