Slog

Category: Engineering · Sub-category: observability · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Structured logging workflow for debugging code paths with per-run log files in `.context/slog`. Use when the user says "use slog", asks for structured logging, wants you to instrument a flow, run it, and inspect logs. Triggers on requests like "use slog", "add structured logs", "log this flow", or "debug with slog".

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill to debug or verify a concrete code path by writing newline-delimited JSON logs to a run-specific file in .context/slog, exercising the path, and then reading the output.
