Do I need a Braintrust account to use this skill?

Yes, you need a Braintrust API key and a project set up on the Braintrust platform to view and store your traces.

Does this capture terminal output?

Yes, any tool call executed by Claude Code, including terminal commands and their results, is captured as a child span within the hierarchical trace.

Can I customize which projects are traced?

Yes, you can configure the Braintrust project name and enable/disable tracing via the .claude/settings.local.json file in your project directory.

How does the tracing affect performance?

The tracing is handled via lightweight shell hooks that execute alongside tool uses, resulting in minimal impact on the perceived speed of Claude Code.

What exactly does Braintrust Tracing capture?

It captures the entire Claude Code lifecycle, including the root session, individual conversation turns, and specific tool calls like file edits, reads, and terminal commands.
