Guide for writing effective log messages using wide events / canonical log lines.

  • Writing logging code
  • SKILL.md covers Core Principle, Anti-patterns, Wide Event Structure and Log Levels, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Adding instrumentation

What it does

Structured Logging is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Guide for writing effective log messages using wide events / canonical log lines. Use when writing logging code, adding instrumentation, improving observability, or reviewing log statements. Teaches high-cardinality, high-dimensionality structured logging that enables debugging.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/wide-event-fields.md` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing logging code
  • Adding instrumentation
  • Improving observability
  • Reviewing log statements

Example prompts

  • “/structured-logging”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and sql).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Structured Logging loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 204 words (~1,856 tokens).

“Emit one wide event per request per service, not scattered log statements.”
