TraceKit Node.js SDK Setup
Auth Bootstrap
Do not tell the user to go sign up, log in separately, or manually create an API key before setup. First check for existing TraceKit auth. If ~/.tracekitconfig does not contain the production profile or TRACEKIT_API_KEY is missing, apply the tracekit-auth skill first. Use ./scripts/run-tracekit-auth.sh status to check, then guide the user through the TraceKit email verification flow with register and verify. That flow signs the user into an existing account for that email or creates the account automatically, then saves the returned credentials for the rest of the setup.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Add TraceKit to a Node.js or TypeScript application
- Add observability or APM to a Node.js service
- Instrument an Express, Fastify, or NestJS app with distributed tracing
- Configure TraceKit API keys in a Node.js project
- Debug production Node.js services with live breakpoints
- Set up code monitoring in a Node.js app
