Analyze Log Files

When to Use

• When user asks to "analyze log.txt", "read the log file", "process logs", "check the logs"
• When dealing with any .log or log-related files that may contain ANSI escape sequences
• When terminal output has been captured to a file and needs analysis
• When log files appear garbled or contain escape sequence artifacts

Why This Matters

Log files captured from terminal sessions often contain ANSI escape sequences for:

• Colors (e.g., \x1b[31m for red)
• Cursor movements
• Text formatting (bold, underline)
• Screen clearing commands
