This looks at its own reasoning to find the cause: it lost track of the instructions, it picked the wrong tool, its context got muddled. Reach for it when the same task keeps failing and you cannot see the reason. ### Top 3 things it does for you - Work out why an agent keeps failing the same way - Read back its reasoning to find where it went wrong - Find out why it keeps picking the wrong tool ## Information **Reasoning Trace Optimizer at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Kind | Skill | | Publisher | [Muratcan Koylan](/@muratcankoylan) | | Category | [Developer Tools](/category/devtools) | | Works with | Agent Skills - an open standard supported by 40+ agents | | Size | 586 KB | | Licence | MIT | | Repository | [muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering](https://github.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/tree/c578e85e40fe2bda7c1fec91ff64cf5285434934/examples/interleaved-thinking) | | GitHub stars | 17,811 (as of Nov 2026) | ## Security report **Verified.** AIR scanned this exact version of Reasoning Trace Optimizer and flagged nothing.

[Read the full security report for Reasoning Trace Optimizer](/security/reasoning-trace-optimizer) ## About Reasoning Trace Optimizer When an agent misbehaves, the answer is usually in its reasoning rather than its output. This is for reading those traces to debug and improve the agent. It covers the recurring failure modes: context degrading over a run, confusion between tools, drift away from the instructions it was given, tasks that keep failing the same way, and performance that has regressed. ## What's inside - generated_skills/comprehensive-research-agent/SKILL.md - instructions - SKILL.md - instructions - docs/agentthinking.md - reference - docs/interleavedthinking.md - reference - docs/m2-1.md - reference - examples/01_basic_capture.py - script - examples/02_tool_usage.py - script - examples/03_full_optimization.py - script - generated_skills/comprehensive-research-agent/references/optimization_summary.json - data - generated_skills/comprehensive-research-agent/references/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - generated_skills/comprehensive-research-agent/references/patterns_found.json - data - optimization_artifacts/final_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_1/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_1/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_1/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_1/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_10/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_10/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_2/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_2/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_2/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_2/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_3/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_3/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_3/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_3/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_4/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_4/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_4/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_4/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_5/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_5/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_5/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_5/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_6/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_6/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_6/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_6/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_7/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_7/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_7/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_7/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_8/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_8/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_8/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_8/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_9/analysis.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_9/optimization.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_9/optimized_prompt.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/iteration_9/trace.txt - reference - optimization_artifacts/summary.json - data - pyproject.toml - data - README.md - reference - reasoning_trace_optimizer/__init__.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/analyzer.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/capture.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/cli.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/loop.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/models.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/optimizer.py - script - reasoning_trace_optimizer/skill_generator.py - script - tests/__init__.py - script - tests/test_models.py - script ## Questions ### Is Reasoning Trace Optimizer safe to install? AIR scanned this exact version of Reasoning Trace Optimizer and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit c578e85e40fe, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/reasoning-trace-optimizer. ### How do I install Reasoning Trace Optimizer? Open https://airmarket.ai/app/reasoning-trace-optimizer on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/tree/c578e85e40fe2bda7c1fec91ff64cf5285434934/examples/interleaved-thinking.
