SKILL.md

This skill provides guidelines for implementing effective logging in applications. It focuses on wide events (also called canonical log lines) - a pattern where you emit a single, context-rich event per request per service, enabling powerful debugging and analytics.

Emit one context-rich event per request per service. Instead of scattering log lines throughout your handler, consolidate everything into a single structured event emitted at request completion.

Include fields with high cardinality (user IDs, request IDs - millions of unique values) and high dimensionality (many fields per event). This enables querying by specific users and answering questions you haven't anticipated yet.
