Yes, you need to start inside an IDE
Yes, you need to start inside an IDE like VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf, etc., by installing the extension. You don't need to maintain .md files manually. Type in your query, and Traycer will suggest an implementation plan after exploring your codebase. You can review and iterate the plan as needed. Then, the plan can be sent to Claude Code for execution to get the final code changes. Please refer the attached demo video showcasing the Traycer + Claude Code workflow.

@Hardik Shingala Thanks for the demo video. With the Lite plan, does it mean that I can only run 3 tasks every 45 minutes even if some tasks (out of 3) complete in less than 30 minutes?
@lu_chin2k, rate limit is determined based on two parameters:
1. Capacity: the maximum number of unused tasks that can accumulate
2. Recharge rate: how fast tasks get recharged
On lite plan you can run 3 tasks back to back but then you have to wait 45 minutes for the next one. Recharging begins the moment you consume (start) even a single task
Thanks. @Tanveer Gill Is every prompt I enter equal to 1 task? Also, if I start two tasks at 1:00 pm and then I start a third task at 1:30 pm and all three tasks finish at 1:40 pm. Does it mean that I can start two new tasks at 1:45 pm but a third new task only at 2:15 pm? Or can I start three new tasks at 1:45 pm?
@lu_chin2k It works in a slightly different manner. The recharge happens sequentially. That means, when you start your first task at 1:00 PM, it begins recharging your limits, and new tasks will become available at 1:45 PM, 2:30 PM, 3:15 PM, and so on. Now, if you don't create any tasks at 1:45 PM and 2:30 PM, you'll again have three tasks to run in parallel at 3:15 PM.
It's like a water bucket that keeps being refilled to its full capacity. So, if you use 33% or 66% of the water, it can only refill 33% of the bucket again in 45 minutes.
Thanks @Hardik Shingala This is not what I expected. Originally, I thought that if I started a maximum of 3 tasks at 1:00 and they finished before 1:45, I could start another three tasks anytime after 1:45. Based on what you said, it seemed to me that if I did not start any three tasks at 1:45, I would not be able to start any new tasks until 2:30 and in the way if I did not start any new tasks at 2:30 I would need to wait until 3:15. Or did I misunderstand what you meant?
@lu_chin2k You can start a new task at 1:45 PM after consuming all three tasks that began on or after 1:00 PM. If you don't start a new task at 1:45 PM, you'll have two tasks available at 2:30 PM. So, the bucket continues to refill until it reaches its maximum capacity, which is three tasks for the Lite plan.
Suppose you don't start any tasks until 3:30 PM, you will have three available tasks. At 3:40 PM, you begin two new tasks. The refill then occurs again, and at 4:25 PM (after 45 minutes), one new task will be added to the bucket, making the total available tasks equal to two.
Please feel free to let us know if you still have any doubts about the rate limiting.
How to read it
1. Bucket capacity = 3 tokens – the bucket can hold at most three “task tokens.”
2. Immediate consumption – when a request arrives, if at least one token is in the bucket, the task executes right away and one token is removed.
3. Recharge begins instantly – as soon as a token is spent, a refill timer starts. One new token drips back in every 45 minutes, up to the 3-token cap.
4. Throttle effect – once the bucket is empty, further tasks wait until the next 45-minute tick adds a token, ensuring no more than three tasks in any 135-minute window (3 × 45 min).

Thank you. Now I understand. 3 prompts in about every 2 hours seems a little restrictive IMHO.
Pro plan offers a capacity of 9 and recharge rate of 1 task every 30min
Thanks @Tanveer Gill I will not mind paying for Pro plan. However, I will like to find out if Pro plan has a similar tasks limit (i.e. 9 tasks every 135 minutes) as in the Lite plan (i.e. 3 tasks every 135 minutes). Or can I run one single new task every 30 minutes (even if I have started running 9 tasks initially)? And do unused task tokens carry over to the next period, e.g. if I start 5 tasks initially (with 4 left), will I have 5 task tokens 30 minutes after I start the 5 tasks?
Limits do get carried forward in both plans.
You can run 1 task every 30min even if you ran all 9 tasks at once
It’s the same thing in Lite. Start 3 tasks at once and you can run 1 task every 45min afterwards
e.g. if I start 5 tasks initially (with 4 left), will I have 5 task tokens 30 minutes after I start the 5 tasks?Correct
Excellent. I will be a happy Pro plan customer. Thanks.
