Codex Plugin Session Audit

July 20, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

agenttrace includes a Codex plugin manifest and skill so Codex can use the installed agenttrace binary as a local session audit tool.

Use it when a Codex workflow needs quick evidence for questions that raw agent output usually hides:

  • Which local sessions used the most tokens or estimated cost?
  • Did tool failures, retries, or long gaps make a run unhealthy?
  • Is there JSON, Markdown, or HTML evidence worth attaching to a PR, issue, or CI artifact?
  • Does this session have Detailed evidence, or only Aggregate/Limited metrics?

Plugin files:

  • .codex-plugin/plugin.json
  • skills/agenttrace-session-audit/SKILL.md

The same audit path also works directly from a terminal:

agenttrace --doctor
agenttrace --overview -f json
agenttrace --overview --fail-under-health 80 --fail-on-critical --max-tool-fail-rate 15

This keeps the workflow local-first: session files stay on the developer machine unless the user explicitly exports and shares a report. The plugin must not present Aggregate or Limited sessions as complete traces; Tool Steps contain metadata only and exclude conversation and tool payload bodies.
