Openlogs Server Logs

This pulls server logs from projects using openlogs, so Claude can inspect startup errors, stack traces, and recent dev-server output without you manually copy-pasting terminal output. It runs `openlogs tail -n 200` to grab the latest run, or you can query specific commands like `openlogs tail dev`. The workflow is smart: it tries the CLI first, falls back to reading `.openlogs/latest.txt` directly if needed, and strips ANSI codes by default to make parsing cleaner. Honestly most useful when debugging why something crashed on startup or tracking down that error you saw flash by three restarts ago.

Openlogs Server Logs

Use openlogs tail to retrieve recent server logs before asking the user to paste anything. Prefer the cleaned text log unless ANSI or raw terminal bytes matter.

Quick Start

Run openlogs tail -n 200 to inspect the latest run in the project.
If the user mentions a specific command or service, run openlogs tail <query> -n 200 to get the most recent matching run.
Use ol tail -n 200 if the short alias is preferred.
Read .openlogs/latest.txt directly only when file access is simpler than spawning the command and you specifically want the latest overall run.
Use openlogs tail --raw -n 200 only when color codes, cursor control, or exact terminal output matters.
Use openlogs tail -f for live follow mode.
