Does this skill work with JSON-formatted logs?

Yes, it includes specialized utility scripts for parsing and filtering JSON logs using jq, allowing you to filter by severity level or specific metadata fields.

How does this skill handle extremely large log files?

It follows a 'Filter First' strategy, using grep and bash tools to extract only relevant lines before attempting to read the content, ensuring efficiency and preventing context window overflow.

Can I trace a single user request across multiple logs?

Yes, the skill includes specific workflows and scripts to trace correlation IDs or request IDs across multiple log files to reconstruct a transaction history.

What kind of statistical analysis can it perform on logs?

The skill can aggregate errors by frequency, show error distribution over time (hourly or minute buckets), and identify slow operations by duration.

Analyzes large-scale application logs efficiently through targeted filtering and iterative refinement to identify root causes and patterns.

Acerca de

The Reading Logs skill provides a high-performance framework for Claude to navigate complex log environments without exhausting context windows. Built on the 'Filter First' iron law, it utilizes advanced grep strategies, time-window isolation, and specialized utility scripts to aggregate errors, trace correlation IDs across files, and extract stack traces. This skill is essential for developers performing incident response, debugging performance bottlenecks, or analyzing recurring error patterns in high-volume production logs.
