Mako Trace

Use this skill for focused evidence traces around a known target. The output should help the user understand what implements the target, what depends on it, and what evidence supports the answer.

Targeted Answer Tools

route_trace

Use to find the route handler, nearby files, and evidence for a route/API behavior.

• Best when the user names a route, page, method/path pair, or route-like URL.
• Pair with auth_path for authorization questions.
• Pair with route_context when the user wants a wider route neighborhood.

schema_usage

Use to find where an indexed schema object, table shape, or validation type is defined and referenced.

• Best for schema objects and type-ish entities.
• Use before editing validation contracts or generated schema surfaces.
• Pair with trace_table or table_neighborhood for database-backed entities.

file_health

Use to understand a file's role, dependents, risks, and likely blast radius.

• Best before editing a central or unfamiliar file.
• Pair with imports_impact for a deeper dependency view.
• Do not use it for repo-wide orientation; use repo_map.

auth_path

Use to inspect likely authentication or authorization boundaries for a route, file, feature, or flow.

• Best when the user asks what protects something or whether auth is enforced.
• Pair with route_trace, route_context, and tenant_leak_audit when the

risk is tenant or data-boundary related.

• If no exact route, file, or feature matches, auth_path returns

matched: false, reason, and a suggested cross_search fallback instead of throwing a batch-breaking error.

• Do not overclaim; report evidence and uncertainty.

Composer Trace Tools

trace_file

Use for a compact file trace: symbols, imports, routes, schema touches, and notable relationships before editing.

preflight_table

Use before changing database-backed behavior to inspect table usage, RLS, relations, and common query paths.

trace_edge

Use to gather evidence for a relationship between two entities, files, routes, tables, symbols, or RPCs.

trace_error

Use to investigate an error string, stack, or failure mode and produce likely causes with evidence.

trace_table

Use to trace a table through schema, code references, routes, and related RPCs.

trace_rpc

Use to trace a database RPC/function through schema and app-code callers.

Feedback Logging

Log agent_feedback when a trace here was notably useful, partial, noisy, stale, wrong, or wasted the turn. Skip routine calls.

Required procedure (see /mako-ai:mako-guide for full rules and reason-code vocabulary):

1. Call recall_tool_runs to get the prior run's requestId. Do not

fabricate one — if no run is recalled, skip feedback.

1. Call agent_feedback with referencedToolName,

referencedRequestId, grade: "full" | "partial" | "no", reasonCodes from the starter vocabulary in /mako-ai:mako-guide, and a short reason.

See Also

• Use /mako-ai:mako-neighborhoods when a table, route, or RPC needs wider

bundled context.

• Use /mako-ai:mako-graph when the question is dependency path, flow, impact,

or change planning.

• Use /mako-ai:mako-workflow when the user wants a review bundle,

verification bundle, or pre-ship artifact after tracing.
