| name | dev-logs |
| description | View development server logs with optional filtering |
View development server output. Uses a persistent log file as the primary source, with TaskOutput as fallback.
Arguments Format
Your args are: $ARGUMENTS
- (empty) - Show recent output from the dev server
[pattern] - Show only lines matching the regex pattern
Examples
/dev-logs - Show recent dev server output
/dev-logs error - Show only error messages
/dev-logs "compiled|ready" - Show compilation status
Workflow
Step 1: Read Logs from File (Primary)
The dev server writes logs to a persistent file via tee. Read from it:
PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
tail -n 200 "$PROJECT_ROOT/turbo/.dev-server.log" 2>/dev/null
If the file exists and has content, use this output — proceed to Step 3.
If the file does not exist or is empty, fall back to Step 2.
Step 2: Fallback — TaskOutput
Try to read the task ID from the persisted file:
PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cat "$PROJECT_ROOT/turbo/.dev-task-id" 2>/dev/null
If the file exists and contains a task ID, use TaskOutput with that ID (block: false) to read the dev server logs.
If the file does not exist, fall back to TaskList to find a task whose command contains pnpm dev.
If neither method finds a task, inform the user:
- "No dev server logs found. Please run
/dev-start to start the server."
Step 3: Display Output
Show the output in readable format. If a filter pattern was provided in the arguments, filter the output for matching lines only.
