World Info Activation Trace

World Info Activation Trace is a debugging feature introduced by Luker that helps you understand why a World Info entry was activated (or not activated).

Problem It Solves

When World Info configurations become complex (many entries, multiple keyword layers, different scan depths), users often encounter these confusions:

  • Why wasn't a certain entry activated?
  • Which keyword triggered this entry?
  • In which message was the keyword matched?
  • Is the scan depth setting reasonable?

Activation trace records the complete process from matching to injection for each entry, making these questions clear at a glance.

Trace Information

For each activated World Info entry, the trace record includes:

  • Trigger keyword: Which keyword (or keyword combination) triggered the activation
  • Match location: In which message the keyword was matched
  • Scan depth: The current scan depth setting
  • Activation method: Keyword match, constant (always active), probability activation, etc.
  • Injection position: Where the entry was ultimately injected in the prompt

Usage

View activation trace information in the World Info panel. After the AI generates a response, you can check which entries were activated and why, then optimize your World Info keywords and scan depth configuration accordingly.
