logging-patterns

logging-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from piomin/claude-ai-spring-boot. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,574 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of logging practices for Java applications using SLF4J, JSON-formatted records, and request identifiers. JSON logs store details in named fields, while request identifiers connect events from the same request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or improving Java logs, tracing requests through services, debugging application flow, or analysing structured error records.
Why use it?
It makes application behaviour and failures easier to search, filter, trace, and inspect, including when an AI coding assistant reads the logs.

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 8d 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 Skill

Effective logging for Java applications with focus on structured, AI-parsable formats.

When to Use

  • User says "add logging" / "improve logs" / "debug this"
  • Analyzing application flow from logs
  • Setting up structured logging (JSON)
  • Request tracing with correlation IDs
  • AI/Claude Code needs to analyze application behavior

AI-Friendly Logging

Key insight: JSON logs are better for AI analysis - faster parsing, fewer tokens, direct field access.

Why JSON for AI/Claude Code?

# Text format - AI must "interpret" the string
2026-01-29 10:15:30 INFO OrderService - Order 12345 created for user-789, total: 99.99

# JSON format - AI extracts fields directly
{"timestamp":"2026-01-29T10:15:30Z","level":"INFO","orderId":12345,"userId":"user-789","total":99.99}
Aspect Text JSON
Parsing Regex/interpretation Direct field access
Token usage Higher (repeated patterns) Lower (structured)
Error extraction Parse stack trace text exception field
Filtering grep patterns jq queries

Recommended Setup for AI-Assisted Development

# application.yml - JSON by default
logging:
  structured:
    format:
      console: logstash  # Spring Boot 3.4+

# When YOU need to read logs manually:
# Option 1: Use jq
# tail -f app.log | jq .

# Option 2: Switch profile temporarily
# java -jar app.jar --spring.profiles.active=human-logs

Log Format Optimized for AI Analysis

{
  "timestamp": "2026-01-29T10:15:30.123Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "com.example.OrderService",
  "message": "Order created",
  "requestId": "req-abc123",
  "traceId": "trace-xyz",
  "orderId": 12345,
  "userId": "user-789",
  "duration_ms": 45,
  "step": "payment_completed"
}

Key fields for AI debugging:

  • requestId - group all logs from same request
  • step - track progress through flow
  • duration_ms - identify slow operations
  • level - quick filter for errors
