logging-patterns

logging-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jartan-LLC/grimoire. It costs 16 tokens per session (456 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of conventions for writing application logs, which are records of what a program is doing. It covers logger setup, message formatting, severity levels, and where output should go.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding logs to Python modules, command-line programs, filters, pipelines, or services that send logs to monitoring systems.
Why use it?
It prevents inconsistent or hard-to-search logs and makes it clearer which messages are routine, recoverable, or serious.

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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Logging Conventions

Setup

One logger per module, at module level:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Formatting

Use %s-style formatting arguments, not f-strings -- the message template is preserved for structured aggregator queries:

logger.info("Cleaned up %d expired sessions", count)  # yes
logger.exception("SMTP send failed for %s", email)    # yes (in an except handler)
logger.info(f"Cleaned up {count} expired sessions")   # no

%s deferral is stdlib-specific -- structlog uses kwargs, not %s. See pythonica:python-observability.

Level Conventions

Level Use for
DEBUG Cache hit/miss, slow-path internals (opt-in only)
INFO Startup/shutdown, admin bootstrap, cleanup counts, rate limit hits
WARNING Recoverable anomalies, swallowed exceptions, degraded operation
ERROR Unexpected exceptions on operational paths -- use logger.exception(...)
CRITICAL Reserved for unusable state

Output

Log to stderr when stdout carries the program's own output -- the common case: CLIs, filters, pipeline stages (also Python's logging.StreamHandler default). Use stdout only for pure log-shipping services that emit nothing else. One record per line either way. Container runtimes (Docker, k8s) capture both streams, so the choice isolates logs from program output, not runtime visibility -- no file sinks or log rotation in-app.

Support two formats via config:

  • plain -- Readable for local dev
  • json -- Stable single-line object per record for log aggregators (Loki, Datadog, ELK, CloudWatch)

Timestamps in UTC in both formats.

Changes

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 skill published in the GitHub repository Jartan-LLC/grimoire (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 456 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
