What it does
Debug Logging Assistant is an agent skill from dmitriiweb/extract-emails. Add purposeful debug logging to improve observability without changing behavior.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/logging_rules.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability. The repository describes itself as: Extract emails and links to linkedin accounts from URLs. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Observability
Example prompts
- “/debug-logging-assistant”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Inspect
- Place logs
- Write messages
- Validate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f2bb40. 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.
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
Debug Logging Assistant loads about 426 tokens when it runs, and up to ~831 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 200 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Add purposeful debug logging to improve observability without changing behavior.
Debug Logging Assistant
Quick start
- Read the target code and recent failures to understand where visibility is missing.
- Add debug logs only where they help explain flow, inputs, branching, or error context.
- Keep logs small and descriptive: what is happening, key identifiers, and outcomes.
- Do not change control flow or data; only add logs. Avoid logging every step.
- See
references/logging_rules.mdfor placement and messaging guidelines.
Workflow
Inspect
- Identify high-signal spots: entry points, external calls, branching paths, retries, and error handling.
- Note important identifiers (IDs, counts, feature flags) that disambiguate paths.
Place logs
- Log before/after risky operations and around decisions that affect downstream behavior.
- Prefer one concise log per logical block over multiple low-value messages.
- Keep sensitive data out; include only safe identifiers or summaries.
Write messages
- Use consistent prefixes and log levels (debug/trace) already used in the codebase.
- Capture intent: action, inputs of interest, and outcomes (success/failure, counts).
- Avoid narrating trivial steps or restating obvious code.
Validate
- Ensure no functional changes: no refactors, no reordered logic, no added branching.
- Confirm log volume is reasonable and won’t spam hot paths.
- Re-run applicable tests if available; otherwise double-check for typos.
