## From README

Agent Host Debug Logs Use this skill to orient to bundles produced by Developer: Export Agent Host Debug Logs.... These are different from the normal timestamped Code OSS log directory. Treat the bundle as sensitive: it can contain tokens, prompts, file contents, terminal output, paths, and settings. Keep analysis local and avoid quoting secrets or unrelated user content. Timestamps, event names, IDs, status values, and general property values are fine. Open the Bundle The export name usually starts with ah-logs and may be a zip or an already-unpacked folder. For a zip, use the bundled extractor: The final line gives the temporary extraction path. Work from that folder and delete only that exact folder when finished. Desktop ZIP exports keep host-owned logs compressed inside host-logs.zip, alongside the client-owned logs and sidecars. If that entry is present, run the same extractor on /host-logs.zip and inspect both extraction folders.
