event-log-tracing

event-log-tracing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baphuongna/pi-crew. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,092 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A format and guide for recording worker and agent activity as a persistent event log. Each event is stored as one JSON object per line, including lifecycle events such as workers starting, failing, or stopping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record or trace worker lifecycles, inspect run history, support crash recovery, and understand what happened during a multi-agent run.
Why use it?
It provides an evidence trail for investigating crashes, stuck agents, and abandoned runs.

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

event-log-tracing 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 317 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

event-log-tracing

Every pi-crew run writes a persistent event log at .crew/state/runs/<runId>/events.jsonl. Events are the primary evidence for understanding what happened — especially when workers crash, agents get stuck, or runs become orphaned.

Event Format

Every event is a JSON object on one line:

{
  "time": "2026-05-14T10:27:52.000Z",
  "type": "worker.spawned",
  "runId": "team_20260514092752_218fe358085d7115",
  "taskId": "01_explore",
  "message": "Worker spawned: pid 12345",
  "data": { "pid": 12345, "role": "explorer" },
  "metadata": {
    "seq": 42,
    "provenance": "team_runner",
    "fingerprint": "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8"
  }
}

Required fields: time, type, runId Optional fields: taskId, message, data, metadata Metadata auto-populated: seq (line number), provenance (who wrote it), fingerprint (for terminal events)

Event Taxonomy

Worker Lifecycle Events (from child-pi.ts via onLifecycleEvent callback)

Event When Data
worker.spawned Child process starts with a PID {pid, cwd}
worker.spawn_error Spawn failed (no PID, binary not found, permission denied) {pid?, error}
worker.response_timeout No stdout for responseTimeoutMs (default 5 min) {pid, error}
worker.final_drain Child finished but lingered — SIGTERM sent {pid}
worker.hard_kill Child still alive after hardKillMs — SIGKILL sent {pid}
worker.exit Process exited (before close) {pid, exitCode}
worker.close stdio fully closed {pid, exitCode}

Tracing worker crashes:

  • worker.spawned followed by worker.exit with non-zero code → worker crashed
  • worker.spawned followed immediately by worker.spawn_error → spawn failed
  • worker.spawned followed by worker.response_timeout → worker hung
  • worker.spawned followed by worker.final_drain → worker lingered but completed
  • worker.spawned followed by worker.hard_kill → worker had to be forcibly killed

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.
