structured-logging

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Node.js teams implement production-ready, observable logs by using Pino to produce structured JSON output with context, redaction, and correlation IDs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured JSON Output: Every log is a JSON object, enabling programmatic querying.
• Context Propagation: Use child loggers to attach request-scoped context (e.g., userId, requestId).
• Security & Redaction: Automatically redact sensitive fields to protect PII and secrets.
• Correlation IDs & Tracing: Propagate correlation IDs across services for end-to-end tracing.
• Observability Benefit: Improved debugging, alerting, and metrics collection with consistent logs.

Quick Start

Configure the logger in your Node.js app and emit a sample log entry including a correlationId and sensitive field redaction.
