Prefer tracedecay tools for codebase exploration, graph queries, and memory recall.
Use when installing a TraceDecay checkout for live local development, refreshing the globally available binary without a release, or validating agents and the daemon against unmerged TraceDecay changes.

Use when listing or reading agent-managed automation skills, viewing automation run artifacts, or inspecting skills owned by the standard Hermes user install without mutating them.
Use when you need LCM, session search, transcript search, raw past-session replay, scoped/time grep, summary-DAG drill-down, branch/worktree/commit history, workflow recovery, or compaction recovery; and when driving host LCM lifecycle preflight/compress/boundary/repair.
Use before writing a new function or helper (it may already exist), and before any rename, signature, or field change — the graph lists every call site.
Use the moment the next action is Grep, Glob, rg, find, cat, or opening a source file to answer "where is X", "how does Y work", a type/trait question, or to check another git branch. Returns the enclosing symbol. Do NOT use for callers/callees (tracedecay:tracing-functions).
Use when unexpected changes appear on your branch or worktree — commits you did not make, amended or force-pushed history, or a working tree that contradicts your memory — to reconstruct who did what and decide how to proceed.
