Commands

Everything the TraceX CLI can do. If you haven’t installed it yet, start with Install and sign in.

One question, one answer, with the sources it used.

Commands

Command	What it does
tracex login	Signs in through your browser.
tracex init	Links this git repository to a TraceX project and writes .tracex.json.
tracex -c	Opens a session. In a git repository it works on the local code (Coding mode); elsewhere it is like Conversations.
tracex -c "question"	Answers one question and exits.
tracex -c --ask	Asks the TraceX project directly, without the local code. --project <id> picks a project.
tracex status	Shows who is signed in, the server, and this folder’s project.
tracex logout	Ends the CLI’s session on the server and removes it from this computer.
tracex version	Prints the version.

Examples

Ask one question:

tracex -c "how many orders failed with card_declined today?"

Pipe input in, for example to ask about your current changes:

git diff | tracex -c "could this break anything in production?"

tail -n 200 error.log | tracex -c "what's going on here?"

Ask a specific project from anywhere:

tracex -c --ask --project <id> "what changed in payments this week?"

In a session

Input	What it does
/new	Starts a new conversation.
/project	Switches project.
/open	Opens the conversation in the dashboard.
/exit or Ctrl+D	Quits.
Ctrl+C	Stops an answer.
\ at the end of a line	Continues the question on the next line.

Environment

Variable	Effect
TRACEX_API_URL	Another TraceX server (default https://api.tracexpro.com).
NO_COLOR	Turns colors off.

Files

File	What it holds
~/.tracex/credentials.json	Your session (mode 0600, readable only by you).
.tracex.json	The linked project, in the repository. No secrets; commit it.
~/.tracex/history	Your previous questions, for the up arrow.

Usage and limits

Questions from the CLI appear in Conversations and count toward your plan’s chat messages. If the CLI says your session ended, run tracex login again.
