What problem does it solve?
Tracer helps you implement risky or cross-boundary features without betting everything on a big-bang change. It starts with the thinnest possible end-to-end path, so you can prove the flow works before you widen it.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Thin-slice delivery: Build the smallest working path first, then expand one concern at a time.
- Cross-layer coordination: Map UI, service, data, and external boundaries before changing code.
- Incremental hardening: Add error handling, validation, edge cases, and tests in separate passes.
- Use case: Ideal for features that span multiple systems, have unclear requirements, or need always-working increments during development.
Quick Start
Use the tracer skill to implement [feature] by mapping the path, shipping a thin end-to-end slice first, and then widening it pass by pass.
