logging-patterns

logging-patterns is a cursor rule for Claude Code, Cursor from eliornl/rolemule. It costs 1,969 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for recording application events in a structured form, such as agent runs, database actions, cache results, API calls, and sign-in events. It also covers request context and hiding sensitive values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding logs for workflows, external services, database and cache operations, authentication events, errors, and request handling.
Why use it?
It makes failures and application behavior easier to trace without scattering inconsistent log messages or exposing private data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

logging-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Logging Patterns

Logger Setup

import logging
from utils.logging_config import get_structured_logger

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)           # standard logger
slog   = get_structured_logger(__name__)       # structured logger with helpers

Structured Logger Helpers

# Agent lifecycle
slog.log_agent_start("job_analyzer", workflow_id)
slog.log_agent_complete("job_analyzer", workflow_id, duration_ms=1234.5)
slog.log_agent_error("job_analyzer", workflow_id, error, duration_ms=500.0)

# External API
slog.log_external_api_call(service="gemini", operation="generate", duration_ms=500.0, success=True)

# Database
slog.log_db_operation("SELECT", "users", duration_ms=5.0, rows_affected=1)

# Cache
slog.log_cache_hit("job_analysis", cache_key)
slog.log_cache_miss("user_profile", user_id)

# Auth / security events
slog.log_login_success(email, auth_method="local")
slog.log_login_failure(email, reason="invalid_password", attempts_remaining=3)
slog.log_account_lockout(email, duration_seconds=900)
slog.log_registration(email, auth_method="local")
slog.log_password_reset_request(email)
slog.log_password_reset_complete(email)
slog.log_password_change(email)
slog.log_token_refresh(email)
slog.log_oauth_login(email, provider="google", is_new_user=True)

Performance Decorator

from utils.logging_config import log_execution_time

@log_execution_time(message="Job analysis took {duration_ms}ms")
async def analyze_job(self, state): ...

Request Context Correlation

from utils.logging_config import set_request_context, clear_request_context

tokens = set_request_context(request_id="abc123", user_id="uuid", session_id="uuid")
try:
    # all logger.info/error calls here include request_id, user_id automatically
    logger.info("Processing request")
finally:
    clear_request_context(tokens)

Workflow Context Pattern (always use try/finally)

context_tokens = set_request_context(session_id=session_id, user_id=str(user_id))
try:
    final_state = await self.workflow.ainvoke(initial_state)
    return self._state_to_dict(final_state)
finally:
    clear_request_context(context_tokens)  # must run even on exception

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

logging-patterns is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository eliornl/rolemule (38 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 1,969 tokens to every session, about $0.0079 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
