Use when the user wants to view, inspect, or share Perfetto/Chrome trace files -- triggered by words like "trace", "perf", "perfetto", "profiling", "trace viewer", or when dealing with trace JSON files from training runs.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    All URLs use <base_url> where <base_url> is the CharlieBot URL resolved from HOST MEMORY (look for the CharlieBot URL entry).

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    If a directory contains multiple time windows (or multiple steps) for the same rank(s), generate

    line 31
  3. Very specific:

    Before using ?dir=, confirm the directory holds at most one trace per rank for a single time window.

    line 69
  4. Distinctive:

    Only JSON traces can be merged.

    line 71

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Perfetto Trace Viewer

Generate links to the CharlieBot built-in Perfetto trace viewer, which can merge cross-rank traces of the same time window into a single view.

Endpoints

All URLs use <base_url> where <base_url> is the CharlieBot URL resolved from HOST MEMORY (look for the CharlieBot URL entry).

Merge cross-rank traces from a directory

<base_url>/perfetto?dir=<absolute-path>

Auto-discovers all *.json trace files in the directory, merges them client-side (labeling by rank), and loads into an embedded Perfetto UI.

Use ?dir= only for cross-rank merging, that is, when every file in the directory is a different rank's trace of the same time window/step. The merger labels tracks by rank and assumes one trace per rank; mixing multiple time windows of the same rank into one ?dir= link will produce a confusing/overlapping view.

If a directory contains multiple time windows (or multiple steps) for the same rank(s), generate separate links, one per time window, each pointing at just that window's files. Use ?pattern= to scope a ?dir= link to a single window, or list the per-rank files explicitly with repeated ?trace= params.

Optional params:

  • &pattern=<glob>: file pattern to match (default: *.json); use this to isolate one time window in a mixed directory
  • &title=<text>: custom page title

View specific trace files

<base_url>/perfetto?trace=/absolute_filepath/<path1>&trace=/absolute_filepath/<path2>

Pass one or more trace= params, each naming a trace file the way the file-server skill writes a file link.

Single trace

<base_url>/perfetto?trace=/absolute_filepath/<absolute-path>

Examples

ScenarioURL
Cross-rank merge for one step<base_url>/perfetto?dir=/path/to/traces/step100
Scope ?dir= to one time window<base_url>/perfetto?dir=/path/to/traces&pattern=trace_rank*_step100.json
Only rank 0<base_url>/perfetto?trace=/absolute_filepath/path/to/traces/trace_rank000_step100.json
Two time windows of rank 0generate two separate links, one per window, rather than one combined ?dir=

Rules

  1. ?dir= is for cross-rank merging only. Multiple time-window traces of the same rank belong in separate links, one URL per window, rather than bundled in one ?dir=
  2. Before using ?dir=, confirm the directory holds at most one trace per rank for a single time window; otherwise narrow it with &pattern= or switch to explicit ?trace= params
  3. Only JSON traces can be merged; a protobuf trace shows only the first file
