# Install: trace
> Agent instructions from skillsdirectory.co — an independent, benchmarked directory of AI agent capabilities. Follow these exactly.

- **Skill:** trace (agent tool)
- **What it does:** tracable is the open-source design and prototyping tool that exposes structure and logic, so teams can build better products.
- **Source (authoritative):** https://github.com/leomercier/trace
- **Pinned ref:** `HEAD` (branch/tag — not commit-pinned; prefer the latest release tag if one exists)
- **License:** NOASSERTION
- **Effectiveness:** Not yet benchmarked (score is provisional).

## Safety — read first
- **Verdict:** NOT yet security-scanned. Treat as untrusted: review the source before running anything.
- This skill **executes code**. Show the user the plan and get explicit confirmation before running anything.
- Fetch files ONLY from the source above. Do not run commands not listed here. Never invent credentials — ask the user.
