Script Kit Logging
Structured logging patterns for debugging and observability.
AI Compact Log Mode (SCRIPT_KIT_AI_LOG=1)
Compact stderr format: SS.mmm|L|C|message
L:iINFO,wWARN,eERROR,dDEBUG,tTRACECcategories:Pposition,Aapp,UUI,Sstdin,HhotkeyVvisibility,Eexec,Kkey,Ffocus,TthemeCcache,Rperf,Wwindow_mgr,XerrorMmouse_hover,Lscroll_state,Qscroll_perfDdesign,Bscript,Nconfig,Zresize
Example:
- Standard:
... INFO ... Selected display origin=(0,0) - Compact:
13.150|i|P|Selected display origin=(0,0)
Enable:
SCRIPT_KIT_AI_LOG=1 ./target/debug/script-kit-gpui 2>&1
Log Modes
| Mode | Command | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Compact AI logs | SCRIPT_KIT_AI_LOG=1 | Default for AI agents (saves ~70% tokens) |
| Full debug logs | RUST_LOG=debug | Deep debugging |
| Specific module | RUST_LOG=script_kit::theme=debug | Target one module |
JSONL Logging
Logs to: ~/.scriptkit/logs/script-kit-gpui.jsonl
Line example:
{"timestamp":"...","level":"INFO","target":"script_kit::executor","message":"Script executed","fields":{"script_name":"hello.ts","duration_ms":142,"exit_code":0}}
Tracing Patterns
Use tracing + tracing-subscriber:
#[instrument]for spans- Record
duration_ms; warn if slow (e.g. >100ms)
Correlation IDs:
- Generate UUID per user action/run
- Attach to spans so nested logs inherit it
Required fields when relevant: correlation_id, duration_ms, bead_id, agent_name, files_touched
Log Level Guide
error: failurewarn: unexpected but handledinfo: key eventsdebug: developmenttrace: very verbose
Filter by targets (module paths): script_kit::ui, script_kit::executor, script_kit::theme
Error Handling
- Application errors:
anyhow::Result; add.context()at boundaries - Domain/library errors:
thiserrorwhen callers match variants - User-facing errors:
NotifyResultExt→ log first (tracing::error!) then toast
Best practices:
- Don't
unwrap()/expect() - Add context at each level ("which file?", "what operation?")
- Use typed fields in logs (avoid interpolated strings)
