trigger-tree 1.14.0

See which project docs your AI coding agent actually discovers — local, zero-token documentation telemetry.

🌳 trigger-tree

See which project docs your AI actually discovers.

• Local and dependency-free: no cloud, analytics, or model tokens.
• Separate heat, lifetime reads, searches, and untouched paths instead of guessing intent.
• Reduce the evidence to an A–F documentation health grade when detail is unnecessary.

Documentation steers an AI coding assistant toward your team’s patterns and guardrails. But a rule that is never read protects nothing. trigger-tree records discovery evidence so you can improve the routes without pretending a read proves understanding.

Quick start

Claude Code	Codex
/plugin marketplace add Hedde/trigger_tree /plugin install trigger-tree@trigger-tree /reload-plugins /tt watch demo /tt setup · /tt doctor Work normally, then /tt insights	codex plugin marketplace add Hedde/trigger_tree codex plugin install trigger-tree Restart Codex Ask it to run python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/tt-watch.py" --demo Use the bundled trigger-tree skill for setup, doctor, and insights

The Claude /tt skill is explicitly user-triggered. Codex installs the equivalent skill and lifecycle hooks through its plugin marketplace.

Prefer a standalone CLI — for CI, git-hook ingestion, or dashboards without a plugin? pipx install trigger-tree, then tt doctor, tt watch --demo, tt stats.

Prompt logging defaults to a recognizable, gitignored local preview of at most 200 characters as soon as the plugin is installed, even if setup is never run. /tt setup asks whether to keep truncate or switch future events to hash or off.

Who gets what?

You are…	trigger-tree gives you…
Senior developer	File/folder heat, search evidence, router gaps, and prompt-level browsing
Tech lead	Trends, task clusters, protected-context review, and evidence-backed fixes
Product owner	One honest A–F docs-health signal, provisional until measurement matures

Commands

Command	Result
/tt watch demo	Instant synthetic dashboard; no telemetry required
/tt setup [truncate|hash|off]	Wire the repo and choose prompt privacy
/tt doctor	Check hooks, liveness, scope, privacy, and statusline wiring
/tt status	Current heat, lifetime reads, and untouched paths
/tt watch	Live mock-TUI dashboard with prompt browsing and sorting
/tt insights	Deterministic analysis plus a local HTML report
/tt suggestions	Up to five evidence-backed routing improvements
/tt badge	Write a public-safe docs-health endpoint JSON
/tt note <text>	Add a local timeline annotation
/tt uninstall	Remove wiring without deleting telemetry

Search telemetry is a conservative lower bound; see measurement boundaries.

How it works

1. Hooks log shell-side to the gitignored .trigger-tree/history.jsonl; failures never interrupt the coding session.
2. A deterministic aggregator computes every metric with Python’s standard library; the model interprets but never counts.
3. Discovery remains model-driven: trigger-tree measures your routers and reads without injecting context or changing routing.

Where it fits

Category	Question answered
Token/trace observability (Langfuse, Arize, W&B)	What did the model call, spend, and produce?
Documentation linters	Is documentation structurally or stylistically valid?
trigger-tree	Which local project docs did the coding assistant actually discover?

The categories complement each other. trigger-tree does not evaluate answer quality or claim that a read caused an outcome.
