What it does

Logs is an agent skill from SynchronetBBS/sbbs. Use when locating the right Synchronet log file or stream for a given question on Windows or nix — the per-category files in data/ (error/hack/spam/guru/hungup/crash/events/sbbsecho/sendmail/logon/csts.tab), the per-day Terminal Server logs in data/logs/<date.log, the Web Server's HTTP access log, the server console (lprintf) stream and its routing to syslog/journalctl/console depending on daemon mode and init system, the sbbsctrl-on-Windows-only data/logs/{TS,WS,MS,FS}.LOG trap, MQTT log subscription…

Its SKILL.md is about 7.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Linux. The repository describes itself as: Mirror of gitlab.synchro.net/sbbs (don't submit pull requests here).

When your agent uses it

  • Locating the right Synchronet log file
  • Stream for a given question on Windows
  • Nix — the per-category files in data/ (error/hack/spam/guru/hungup/crash/events/sbbsecho/sendmail/logon/csts.tab)
  • The per-day Terminal Server logs in data/logs/<date.log

Example prompts

  • “did the auto-filter fire?”
  • “tail the web server log”
  • “where do hack attempts go?”
  • “/logs”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. First, check the same-host case. List every Synchronet instance on this host — ps -ef | grep -i sbbs, systemctl list-units --type=service…
  2. If still missing, check the cross-host case. Is text/ on shared storage? mount | grep text, findmnt /text, stat -f /text will tell you. If…
  3. Only then suspect journald rate-limiting, SystemMaxRateLimit drops, or syslog discard. Those do happen, but they're the diagnosis of last…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d83fbe2. 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 bash).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • wiki.synchro.net

    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

Logs loads about 7.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 209 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,286 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~209
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:122
    sudo lnav /var/log/syslog          # interactive log viewer with leveling

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,286 words (~7,454 tokens).
