{ "id": "KB-202", "description": "Add CLI command `kb task logs [--follow]` to view task agent execution logs.\n\n## Background\nThe dashboard provides GET /api/tasks/:id/logs to view historical agent logs, but CLI users cannot access this debugging information. Essential for troubleshooting failed tasks.\n\n## Acceptance Criteria\n- [ ] Add `kb task logs ` command to `packages/cli/src/bin.ts`\n- [ ] Implement `runTaskLogs(id, options)` in `packages/cli/src/commands/task.ts`\n- [ ] Use `store.getAgentLogs(id)` from TaskStore\n- [ ] Display logs in chronological order with timestamps\n- [ ] Format different entry types (text, tool, tool_result, thinking) distinctly\n- [ ] Support `--follow` flag to stream new entries (like `tail -f`)\n- [ ] Support `--limit ` to show only last N entries\n- [ ] Support `--type ` to filter by entry type\n- [ ] Handle errors: task not found, no logs available\n- [ ] Update CLI help text\n\n## Technical Notes\n- Agent logs are stored in `.kb/tasks/{id}/agent.log` (JSONL format)\n- Each entry has: timestamp, type, text, detail?, agent?\n- Types: 'text', 'thinking', 'tool', 'tool_result', 'tool_error', 'system'\n- Follow mode: watch file for changes and stream new entries\n- Consider using `fs.watchFile` or polling for follow mode\n\n## Parent Task\nThis subtask was identified as part of KB-182 dashboard vs CLI gap analysis.", "column": "done", "dependencies": [ "KB-182" ], "steps": [ { "name": "Implement `runTaskLogs()` in task.ts", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Add CLI Command Routing and Help Text", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Testing & Verification", "status": "done" }, { "name": "Documentation & Delivery", "status": "done" } ], "currentStep": 4, "log": [ { "timestamp": "2026-03-30T19:12:16.036Z", "action": "Task created" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-30T19:18:59.639Z", "action": "Spec review requested" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-30T19:19:14.453Z", "action": "Spec review: REVISE", "outcome": "The specification is well-structured and follows established patterns, with clear steps and concrete outcomes. However, there is a **critical factual error**: the spec references a `system` entry type for `AgentLogType` that does not exist in the actual codebase. This will cause implementation confusion and test failures. Additionally, the `follow` mode implementation approach needs clarification to ensure clean unwatching on exit." }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-30T19:19:28.200Z", "action": "Spec review requested" }, { "timestamp": "2026-03-30T19:19:43.080Z", "action": "Spec review: APPROVE", "outcome": "This is a well-written, actionable specification for a self-contained CLI feature.
