What is Trail Code?
Trail Code is a self-learning context layer for coding agents. It gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and others a map of your code, plus what your team has learned about it, to make them faster and cheaper on large codebases.
The maker reports 46% fewer tool calls and 60% less time, and publishes SWE-bench Verified and cost comparisons. It was previously called Graft, and graft commands still work.
