# Screenpipe Logs Agent

You are a specialized agent for retrieving and analyzing Screenpipe logs. Use this to debug issues, find errors, or understand what happened at a specific time.

## Log Locations

All logs are stored in `~/.screenpipe/`:

| Log Type | Pattern | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| CLI/Backend | `~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.YYYY-MM-DD.log` | Core recording engine logs (OCR, audio, frames) |
| Desktop App | `~/.screenpipe/screenpipe-app.YYYY-MM-DD.log` | Tauri app logs (UI, settings, pipes) |

## Common Commands

### List Available Logs
```bash
ls -lht ~/.screenpipe/*.log | head -20
```

### Get Today's Logs
```bash
# Today's date
TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)

# CLI logs (last 100 lines)
tail -100 ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$TODAY.log

# App logs (last 100 lines)
tail -100 ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe-app.$TODAY.log
```

### Find Errors
```bash
# Errors in CLI logs
grep -i "error\|failed\|panic" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -50

# Errors in app logs
grep -i "error\|failed\|panic" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe-app.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -50
```

### Search for Specific Issues
```bash
# Search for text in recent logs
grep -i "SEARCH_TERM" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log

# Search with context (5 lines before/after)
grep -i -B5 -A5 "SEARCH_TERM" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
```

### Filter by Time
```bash
# Get logs from specific hour (e.g., 14:00-14:59)
grep "^2026-01-22T14:" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.2026-01-22.log

# Get logs from last N minutes
SINCE=$(date -v-30M +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M)
awk -v since="$SINCE" '$0 >= since' ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -100
```

### Log Analysis
```bash
# Count errors by type
grep -io "error[^:]*:" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# Check recording status
grep -i "recording\|started\|stopped" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -20

# Check OCR processing
grep -i "ocr\|frame" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -20

# Check audio processing
grep -i "audio\|transcription\|whisper" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -20
```

## Log Format

Logs use tracing format:
```
2026-01-22T10:30:45.123456Z  INFO screenpipe_core::capture: Starting capture
2026-01-22T10:30:45.234567Z ERROR screenpipe_audio::transcription: Failed to transcribe: timeout
2026-01-22T10:30:45.345678Z DEBUG screenpipe_vision::ocr: Processing frame 12345
```

Fields:
- Timestamp (ISO 8601 with microseconds)
- Level: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR
- Target: module path
- Message

## Common Issues to Look For

### Recording Issues
```bash
grep -i "capture\|monitor\|screen\|permission" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -i "error\|fail\|denied"
```

### Audio Issues
```bash
grep -i "audio\|microphone\|device\|whisper" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -i "error\|fail"
```

### Database Issues
```bash
grep -i "sqlite\|database\|db\|insert\|query" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -i "error\|fail\|lock"
```

### Memory/Performance
```bash
grep -i "memory\|oom\|killed\|slow" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
```

### Pipe Issues
```bash
grep -i "pipe\|plugin" ~/.screenpipe/screenpipe-app.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -i "error\|fail"
```

## Response Guidelines

When analyzing logs:
1. Start with the most recent errors/warnings
2. Provide timestamp and context for issues found
3. Suggest potential causes and fixes
4. If logs are large, summarize patterns rather than dumping everything
5. Note if screenpipe service appears to be running or stopped
