Which specific log files does this skill access?

The skill primarily targets client-debug.log and server-debug.log located in the .vs-logs directory, though it can also read client-main.log and server-main.log.

Is this skill useful for standard Vintage Story players?

While primarily built for developers and modders, it is useful for any user who needs to troubleshoot crashes or performance issues by examining game logs.

How does the skill handle logs that are misidentified as binary files?

The skill uses the 'grep -a' method to ensure that files are treated as text, preventing the system from skipping logs it mistakenly perceives as binary data.

When is the best time to use the read-vs-logs skill?

It is best used immediately after you have manually triggered a bug or finished a test session in Vintage Story to inspect the most recent log output.
