estuary-logs

estuary-logs is a skill for Claude Code from estuary/agent-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,089 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line tool for searching and examining structured logs from Estuary tasks. Logs are timestamped records of events and errors from captures, materializations, and derivations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate connector errors, filter task logs, analyze recurring behavior, and stream live logs while a task runs.
Why use it?
It helps reveal why a task is failing or behaving unexpectedly when a basic status view is not enough. You can inspect recent records or watch new ones as they appear.

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

estuary-logs 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 13d 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.

flowctl logs - Search and analyze Estuary task logs

Concepts: Logs contain structured JSON with fields: ts (timestamp), level, message, and optional fields (extra context). Tasks are captures, materializations, or derivations running in Estuary.

Prerequisites

flowctl must already be authenticated, as per estuary-flowctl-setup skill.

Finding your task name: If you don't already know the task name, use flowctl catalog list --prefix <tenant/prefix> to narrow it down, or copy it from the Captures or Materializations page in the Estuary web app. It looks like org/prefix/connector-name, for example:

acmeCo/ops/source-postgres

Basic Usage

Quick check — pipe directly to the terminal:

flowctl logs --task <task> --since 1h | tail | jq -c

For investigations, save to a file first (see Effective Log Analysis Workflow).

Live streaming (follow mode)

If a task is currently running and you want logs as they appear:

flowctl logs --task <task> --follow

Combine with --since to get recent history plus live tailing:

flowctl logs --task <task> --since 1h --follow

Choosing --since Values

Situation Recommended Why
Recent issue (today/yesterday) --since 24h or --since 48h Focused on recent events
Issue shown in 48h dashboard graph --since 72h Graph period + buffer
Pattern analysis or issue from ~a week ago --since 7d Broader context
Finding DDL (CREATE/ALTER TABLE) omit --since DDL may be weeks/months old

Note on --since accuracy: The actual start time snaps back to the previous log fragment boundary, so you may get somewhat more history than requested (e.g. --since 1h may return up to several hours). This is expected, so filter downstream to find specific time ranges

Always use --since unless you need logs since task creation (e.g. for initial DDL statements). Log history can span 1+ years for long-running tasks and will be very slow to fetch without a time bound.

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.
