LOGAN — Copilot Agent Instructions

LOGAN is an Electron log analysis tool running locally with an HTTP API for agent communication.

Connecting to LOGAN

API base: http://127.0.0.1:19532

Check if LOGAN is running and a file is open:

GET /api/status
→ {"success": true, "status": {"filePath": "...", "totalLines": 14957, ...}}

Chat with the User

LOGAN has a Chat panel where the user can see your messages and reply.

Register as connected (shows green dot in LOGAN, call once on start):

POST /api/agent-register
Content-Type: application/json
{"name": "Copilot"}

Send a message (also refreshes your connected status):

POST /api/agent-message
Content-Type: application/json
{"message": "Hello from Copilot!", "name": "Copilot"}

Poll for user replies (every 2-3 seconds):

GET /api/messages?since=<timestamp_ms>
→ {"messages": [{"from": "user", "text": "hi!", "timestamp": 1234567890}]}

Filter for "from": "user" messages only (ignore your own "from": "agent" messages).

Chat Loop (Python)

import urllib.request, json, time

API = "http://127.0.0.1:19532"
last_ts = int(time.time() * 1000)

def send(text):
    data = json.dumps({"message": text}).encode()
    req = urllib.request.Request(f"{API}/api/agent-message", data=data,
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}, method="POST")
    urllib.request.urlopen(req)

def poll(since):
    req = urllib.request.Request(f"{API}/api/messages?since={since}")
    resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
    return [m for m in json.loads(resp.read()).get("messages", []) if m["from"] == "user"]

send("Hello! I'm connected to LOGAN.")
while True:
    time.sleep(2)
    for msg in poll(last_ts):
        last_ts = msg["timestamp"]
        if "goodbye" in msg["text"].lower():
            send("Goodbye!")
            exit()
        send(f"Got it: {msg['text']}")
