Agent Skills

evlog includes agent skills that help AI assistants review your logging patterns and guide evlog adoption.

What are Agent Skills?

Agent Skills is an open specification for packaging AI assistant capabilities. Skills provide:

• Domain knowledge: Best practices for wide events and structured errors
• Code review: Identify logging anti-patterns in your codebase
• Guided adoption: Step-by-step help migrating to evlog

Available Skills

Installing the Skill

Compatible agents (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) can discover and use skills automatically.

To manually install with the skills CLI:

npx skills add hugorcd/evlog

What the Skill Does

Code Review

The skill analyzes your codebase for:

• Scattered logging: Multiple console.log or logger.info calls in request handlers
• Missing context: Logs without user, request, or business context
• Unhelpful errors: throw new Error() without structured fields
• Correlation gaps: Missing request IDs or trace IDs

Adoption Guidance

The skill helps you:

• Convert traditional logging to wide events
• Design effective wide event schemas
• Implement structured errors with why, fix, and link
• Set up evlog in Nuxt, Nitro, or standalone TypeScript

Example Prompts

Ask your AI assistant:

Review this file for logging anti-patterns

Help me convert these console.log calls to a wide event

What context should I add to this wide event?

How do I structure this error with evlog?

## Custom Patterns
- Always include `team` field in wide events
- Use `X-Team-Request-Id` header for correlation
- Log to DataDog with structured format
