Read and render the output of a local Output SDK workflow trace file as clean readable markdown. Use when the user wants to view what a recent workflow produced, see the result from a local trace file, or render trace output as a document.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/growthxai/output /tmp/output && ln -s /tmp/output/coding_assistants/claude/plugins/outputai/skills/output-workflow-trace-file ~/.claude/skills/output-workflow-trace-file
```

## From README

Instructions Find the trace JSON file: Trace files live in logs/runs/ / as JSON files Filenames follow the pattern: .json If a workflow name is given, find the latest .json file in logs/runs/ / If a run ID is given, search across all logs/runs// folders for a file containing that ID in its filename If no argument, find the most recently modified .json file across all logs/runs// folders Extract the output from the trace file. You only need output from the JSON root — skip children and input. Strategy for large files (trace files can be 10k+ lines): First, try jq '.output' to extract directly — this is the fastest path If jq is not available: read the last 500 lines of the file (the output field is at the root level, near the end of the JSON).
