log-error-digest

A tool that reads JSON, syslog, or Nginx log files and groups and summarizes their errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find common error types, identify when errors peak, compare error frequency, and export analysis results as JSON.
Why use it?
It turns large, repetitive logs into counts, groups of similar errors, and time patterns that are easier to investigate.

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

log-error-digest 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyze_logs.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Log Error Digest

Automated log file analysis that produces error clustering, frequency statistics, and time distribution reports.

Features

  • Error Clustering: Groups similar error messages by normalizing dynamic parts (IPs, UUIDs, numbers, etc.) to identify root causes
  • Frequency Statistics: Counts occurrences by error type, sorted by severity
  • Time Distribution: Shows error distribution by hour and by date, helping pinpoint peak error periods

Supported Log Formats

Format Description Auto-detection
JSON One JSON object per line with timestamp/level/message fields Starts with {
syslog RFC 3164 format, e.g. Jan 1 12:00:00 host proc[pid]: msg Starts with month name
Nginx Access log or error log format Starts with IP or date/path pattern

Usage

python scripts/analyze_logs.py <log_file_path> [options]

Parameters

Parameter Description Default
log_file Path to the log file (required) -
--format Log format: auto/json/syslog/nginx auto
--top Show Top N error clusters 20
--output Export results to a JSON file Terminal output only
--level Filter by log level (e.g. ERROR, WARN) All levels
--since Only analyze logs after this time (ISO format) No limit
--until Only analyze logs before this time (ISO format) No limit

Examples

# Auto-detect format and analyze the entire log file
python scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/app.log

# Specify Nginx format, show only Top 10 errors
python scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/nginx/error.log --format nginx --top 10

# Filter ERROR level only, export JSON report
python scripts/analyze_logs.py app.log --level ERROR --output report.json

# Analyze logs within a specific time range
python scripts/analyze_logs.py app.log --since 2024-01-01T00:00:00 --until 2024-01-02T00:00:00

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

log-error-digest is a skill published in the GitHub repository zebbern/claude-code-guide (4,597 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,060 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
