See the instruction tree before your coding agent does.

Diagnose the user instructions, project chain, and local skills Codex will consider before a session. Audit AGENTS.md, Claude, Copilot, and nested imports without uploading your code.

One map, explicit client boundaries

Agent instructions became a graph. Instructree makes it inspectable.

Different coding agents discover different files with different scopes. Instructree reports those boundaries instead of pretending there is one universal precedence model.

01

Run the Codex doctor

Resolve user settings and project precedence, then expose parent instructions hidden by a nested project-root marker in one share-safe report.

Debug missing AGENTS.md →

02

Check a focused starter stack

Compare six source-grounded engineering companions across both current and legacy Codex user roots, with commands only for what is missing.

Run the read-only starter audit →

03

Find skill-list pressure

Rank the largest enabled catalog contributors, expose duplicates, and keep a focused stack before descriptions are shortened.

Diagnose Codex skill overload →

04

Audit a missing Desktop skill

Verify repository-local candidates and supported configuration without changing their scope, then compare a fresh native session separately.

Troubleshoot Desktop local skills →

05

Enforce it in CI

Run as a zero-install GitHub Action or publish stable SARIF diagnostics to GitHub code scanning.

Supported surfaces

Built for mixed-agent repositories.

Evidence over claims

Small enough to audit. Tested across the surfaces it claims to support.

Instructree uses Node.js built-ins, runs on Node 20, 22, and 24 across Windows, Ubuntu, and macOS, and has a pinned compatibility audit against three public instruction and skill catalogs.

Inspect before you edit

Give your next coding-agent session a clean instruction map.

Try Instructree without an API key, account, or repository upload.
