logdump

The user has a log on their clipboard. Dump it to a temp file and reduce it using the filters most relevant to your current debugging context.

Step 1 — Save clipboard to file (do NOT read the file contents):

powershell -command "Get-Clipboard | Set-Content C:\tmp\log.txt"

Step 2 — Call reduce_log with the filters YOU need right now:

reduce_log({ file: "C:\\tmp\\log.txt", tail: 2000 })

Start with just tail — no filters. If the output is small enough, you get it directly. If it's large, you automatically get an enhanced summary listing unique errors, warnings, timestamps, and components. Use that summary to plan your next call.

Step 3 — Drill down based on what you see:

After the initial call, narrow with the filters that match your investigation:

• Debugging an error? Use level: "error" or level: "warning"
• Looking at a specific component? Use component: "name"
• Searching for a pattern? Use grep: "pattern"
• Narrow time window? Use time_range: "HH:MM-HH:MM"
• Need more context around matches? Use before: 30 or after: 10
• Context window too noisy? Add context_level: "warning" to filter low-severity context lines

Example follow-up calls:

reduce_log({ file: "C:\\tmp\\log.txt", tail: 2000, level: "error", limit: 5 })
reduce_log({ file: "C:\\tmp\\log.txt", tail: 2000, time_range: "14:02-14:03", before: 50 })
reduce_log({ file: "C:\\tmp\\log.txt", tail: 2000, level: "error", before: 30, context_level: "warning" })

The raw log must NEVER enter the conversation. Do not read C:\tmp\log.txt with the Read tool. Only the reduce_log output should appear in this conversation.

Show the reduced output to the user.
