Create a new built-in evlog adapter for sending events to external observability platforms.
Works with
Requires completing all 8 mandatory touchpoints: adapter source, build config, package exports, tests, documentation page, overview updates, skill registry entry, and file renumbering
Adapter architecture includes config interface, factory function, send functions, error handling with try/catch, and configurable timeout via AbortController
Config priority follows a four-level hierarchy: functi

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versioncreate-evlog-adapterExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches create-evlog-adapter from hugorcd/evlog and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate create-evlog-adapter. Access via /create-evlog-adapter in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Add a new built-in adapter to evlog. Every adapter follows the same architecture. This skill walks through all 8 touchpoints. Every single touchpoint is mandatory -- do not skip any.
Recommended format for the pull request title:
feat: add {name} adapter
The exact wording may vary depending on the adapter (e.g., feat: add OTLP adapter, feat: add Axiom drain adapter), but it should always follow the feat: conventional commit prefix.
| # | File | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | packages/evlog/src/adapters/{name}.ts |
Create adapter source |
| 2 | packages/evlog/tsdown.config.ts |
Add build entry |
| 3 | packages/evlog/package.json |
Add exports + typesVersions entries |
| 4 | packages/evlog/test/adapters/{name}.test.ts |
Create tests |
| 5 | apps/docs/content/5.adapters/{n}.{name}.md |
Create adapter doc page (before custom.md) |
| 6 | apps/docs/content/5.adapters/1.overview.md |
Add adapter to overview (links, card, env vars) |
| 7 | skills/review-logging-patterns/SKILL.md |
Add adapter row in the Drain Adapters table |
| 8 | Renumber custom.md |
Ensure custom.md stays last after the new adapter |
Important: Do NOT consider the task complete until all 8 touchpoints have been addressed.
Use these placeholders consistently:
| Placeholder | Example (Datadog) | Usage |
|---|---|---|
{name} |
datadog |
File names, import paths, env var suffix |
{Name} |
Datadog |
PascalCase in function/interface names |
{NAME} |
DATADOG |
SCREAMING_CASE in env var prefixes |
Create packages/evlog/src/adapters/{name}.ts.
Read references/adapter-template.md for the full annotated template.
Key architecture rules:
timeout?: numbergetRuntimeConfig() -- import from ./_utils (shared helper, do NOT redefine locally)create{Name}Drain()runtimeConfig.evlog.{name}runtimeConfig.{name}NUXT_{NAME}_* then {NAME}_*create{Name}Drain(overrides?: Partial<Config>) returns (ctx: DrainContext) => Promise<void>sendTo{Name}(event, config) and sendBatchTo{Name}(events, config) for direct use and testabilityconsole.error('[evlog/{name}] ...'), never throw from the drainAbortController with 5000ms default, configurable via config.timeoutto{Name}Event() converterAdd a build entry in packages/evlog/tsdown.config.ts alongside the existing adapters:
'adapters/{name}': 'src/adapters/{name}.ts',
Place it after the last adapter entry in tsdown.config.ts (follow existing ordering in that file).
In packages/evlog/package.json, add two entries:
In exports (after the last adapter, currently ./posthog):
"./{name}": {
"types": "./dist/adapters/{name}.d.mts",
"import": "./dist/adapters/{name}.mjs"
}
In typesVersions["*"] (after the last adapter):
"{name}": [
"./dist/adapters/{name}.d.mts"
]
Create packages/evlog/test/adapters/{name}.test.ts.
Read references/test-template.md for the full annotated template.
Required test categories:
sendBatchTo{Name})Create apps/docs/content/4.adapters/{n}.{name}.md where {n} is the next number before custom.md (custom should always be last).
Use the existing Axiom adapter page (apps/docs/content/5.adapters/2.axiom.md) as a reference for frontmatter structure, tone, and sections. Key sections: intro, quick setup, configuration (env vars table + priority), advanced usage, querying in the target service, troubleshooting, direct API usage, next steps.
Important: multi-framework examples. The Quick Start section must include a ::code-group with tabs for all supported frameworks (Nuxt/Nitro, Hono, Express, Fastify, Elysia, NestJS, Standalone). Do not only show Nitro examples. See any existing adapter page for the pattern.
Edit apps/docs/content/4.adapters/1.overview.md to add the new adapter in three places (follow the pattern of existing adapters):
links array -- add a link entry with icon and path::card-group section -- add a card block before the Custom card.env example -- add the adapter's env varsskills/review-logging-patterns/SKILL.mdIn skills/review-logging-patterns/SKILL.md (the public skill distributed to users), find the Drain Adapters table and add a new row:
| {Name} | `evlog/{name}` | `{NAME}_TOKEN`, `{NAME}_DATASET` (or equivalent) |
Follow the pattern of the existing rows (Axiom, OTLP, PostHog, Sentry, Better Stack). No additional usage example block is needed — the table entry is sufficient.
custom.mdIf the new adapter's number conflicts with custom.md, renumber custom.md to be the last entry. For example, if the new adapter is 5.{name}.md, rename 5.custom.md to 6.custom.md.
After completing all steps, run:
cd packages/evlog
bun run build # Verify build succeeds with new entry
bun run test # Verify tests pass

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
