auto - Control auto-tracking on/off

Toggle or explicitly set automatic reference tracking state.

Usage

/track:auto          # Toggle between enabled/disabled
/track:auto on       # Explicitly enable
/track:auto off      # Explicitly disable

What it does

1. Check current status:

   • Looks for ./.claude/.ref-autotrack marker file
   • If exists → auto-tracking is enabled
   • If missing → auto-tracking is disabled

2. Update state:

   • No argument → toggle current state
   • Argument "on" → enable (create marker if missing)
   • Argument "off" → disable (delete marker if exists)

3. When enabling:

   • Creates ./.claude/.ref-autotrack with explanatory content:

     # Auto-tracking marker for ref-tracker plugin
     # Presence = enabled | Absence = disabled
     # Managed by: /track:auto command
     # See: /track:help for details
     

4. When disabling:

   • Deletes ./.claude/.ref-autotrack marker file

5. Show new status:

   • Reports whether auto-tracking is now enabled or disabled
   • Shows what will be tracked based on current config
   • Explains how to change verbosity settings

Output examples

When enabling:

✓ Auto-tracking enabled

The ref-tracker skill will now automatically track:
- Research sources (WebSearch/WebFetch) → CLAUDE_SOURCES.md
- Major prompts and outcomes → CLAUDE_PROMPTS.md

Current verbosity settings:
- Prompts: major (only significant academic/development work)
- Sources: all (every search operation)

Use /track:config to adjust verbosity settings.

When disabling:

✓ Auto-tracking disabled

The ref-tracker skill will no longer automatically track.

You can still manually track using:
- /track:update - Scan recent history

To re-enable: /track:auto on

When toggling:

✓ Auto-tracking toggled: OFF → ON

[Shows enabled message above]

Prerequisites

Run /track:init first to create .claude/ directory structure.

Notes

• State changes do not affect existing tracked data
• Manual tracking via /track:update works regardless of state
• Configuration in .claude/.ref-config persists across state changes
• Marker file includes explanatory content for other Claude sessions
