How do I filter for specific errors in my trace logs?

You can use the command 'cat [filename].jsonl | jq 'select(.status == "error")'' to isolate and examine failed execution events.

What is the difference between quick-validator and trace-analyzer?

quick-validator uses the Haiku model for fast, cost-effective validation tasks like schema checks, while trace-analyzer uses reasoning-heavy models like Sonnet or Opus for root cause analysis.

Where are ctx-monitor trace files stored?

Trace files are stored as structured JSONL records in the .claude/ctx-monitor/traces/ directory within your project.

How can I check if monitoring is currently active?

Verify that "enabled": true is set in .claude/ctx-monitor/config.json and confirm your hooks are loaded using the /hooks command in the CLI.

What should I do if a hook is not firing as expected?

Check your hooks.json configuration for matcher errors, verify the patterns match the intended tools, and review trace logs to see if the session started correctly.

분석 및 모니터링

Analyzes and deciphers Claude Code execution traces to debug agent behavior and identify performance bottlenecks.

소개

This skill empowers developers using the ctx-monitor plugin to navigate and understand complex execution logs within the Claude Code CLI environment. It provides structured guidance for reading JSONL trace files, identifying various event types like tool usage and session boundaries, and diagnosing common failure patterns such as intermittent errors or hook misconfigurations. By leveraging specialized analysis agents like quick-validator and trace-analyzer, it streamlines the debugging process, offering actionable insights into why an agent stopped or how to optimize tool performance through historical data analysis.
