Extract and analyze LibrAgent debug logs with pattern matching and context. Use when debugging LibrAgent issues, analyzing agent workflows, investigating tool execution problems, or extracting specific log patterns like errors, warnings, planning operations, MCP tool calls, or browser automation traces. Supports extracting last N lines or searching for patterns with surrounding context.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    When using --pattern, output includes:

    line 142
  2. Distinctive:

    Use wider context (10-20 lines) for workflow analysis

    line 165
  3. Distinctive:

    Use narrower context (3-5 lines) for quick error checks

    line 166
  4. Distinctive:

    Check log_patterns.md for component-specific patterns

    line 168

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Extract Log Debug

Extract and analyze LibrAgent debug logs for troubleshooting and analysis.

Quick Start

Extract logs using the Python script:

# Extract last 100 lines
python scripts/extract_logs.py -n 100

# Extract all errors with 5 lines of context
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "[ERROR]" --context 5

# Extract planning logs
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "PLANNING" -n 5000

# Save to custom file
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "[WARN]" -o warnings.txt

Log File Location

LibrAgent stores logs in platform-specific directories:

  • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.fritzprix.libragent\logs\libragent.log
  • macOS: ~/Library/Logs/com.fritzprix.libragent/libragent.log
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/com.fritzprix.libragent/logs/libragent.log

The script automatically detects and uses the correct path.

Common Patterns

Error Extraction

python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "[ERROR]" --context 10

Component-Specific Logs

# Agent workflow logs
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "agent_" -n 5000

# MCP tool execution
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "MCPServiceProxy" --context 10

# Planning operations
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "PLANNING" --context 5

# Browser automation
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "BrowserServer" --context 10

Recent Activity

# Last 500 lines for quick check
python scripts/extract_logs.py -n 500

# Last 5000 lines for detailed analysis
python scripts/extract_logs.py -n 5000

Pattern Reference

For comprehensive list of log patterns and search strategies, see log_patterns.md.

Key pattern categories:

  • Error patterns ([ERROR], Failed to, panic)
  • Component logs (agent_, MCPServiceProxy, BrowserServer)
  • Workflow phases (Think phase, Act phase, Observe phase)
  • Tool operations (call_tool, list_tools)
  • Performance indicators (Duration:, elapsed)

Debugging Workflows

1. Investigate Error

# Extract errors
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "[ERROR]" --context 10 -o errors.txt

# Review errors.txt for:
# - Error message and stack trace
# - Preceding operations (context lines above)
# - Affected component (agent, MCP, builtin server)
# - Session ID for tracking

2. Analyze Agent Workflow

# Extract workflow logs
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "agent_" -n 5000 -o workflow.txt

# Review workflow.txt for:
# - Session lifecycle (create, start, stop)
# - Workflow phases (Think, Act, Observe)
# - Tool execution sequences
# - Loop iterations and completion

3. Debug Tool Execution

# Extract tool logs
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "call_tool" --context 10 -o tools.txt

# Review tools.txt for:
# - Tool name and arguments
# - Routing (builtin vs external)
# - Execution results or errors
# - Response structure

4. Track Session Activity

# Extract specific session logs (replace <session-id> with actual ID)
python scripts/extract_logs.py --pattern "<session-id>" --context 5 -o session.txt

# Review session.txt for:
# - Session initialization
# - Tool calls made during session
# - Workflow status changes
# - Errors specific to session

Output Format

Pattern Match Output

When using --pattern, output includes:

  • Match count and line ranges
  • Line numbers with markers (> for matching lines)
  • Context lines before and after matches
  • Merged ranges for adjacent matches

Example:

=== Match 1: Lines 1234-1244 ===
  1234   [DEBUG] Starting operation
  1235 > [ERROR] Failed to execute tool
  1236   Stack trace: ...
  1237   at module.rs:123

Full Line Output

Without --pattern, outputs raw log lines preserving original format.

Tips

  • Use wider context (10-20 lines) for workflow analysis
  • Use narrower context (3-5 lines) for quick error checks
  • Combine -n with --pattern to search recent logs only
  • Check log_patterns.md for component-specific patterns
  • For performance issues, search for "Duration:" or "elapsed" patterns

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
