Hogli

hogli - PostHog Developer CLI

Unified CLI for PostHog development. Wraps all repo scripts, bin commands, and tooling behind a single entry point. There is no Makefile — hogli is the equivalent.

Run hogli --help to get the full, current command list. Run hogli <command> --help for any subcommand.

Process logging (for agents/debugging)

Where logs land depends on how the stack was launched:

Detached (hogli up -d) — phrocs writes files under .posthog/.generated/logs/ on every boot:

• phrocs.log — the daemon's own stdio; the place to look when phrocs died at startup and the phrocs MCP tools are unreachable.
• <process>.log — per-process output (truncated on each start), where <process> matches the phrocs process key (see bin/mprocs.yaml).
• hogli doctor:report prints the phrocs.log path and tails its last lines.

TUI with hogli dev:setup --log, then hogli start — adds a tee wrap per process:

• /tmp/posthog-<process>.log — full stdout+stderr; persists in the generated config until dev:setup is re-run without --log.

When the phrocs MCP is reachable, prefer mcp__phrocs__get_process_logs over grepping files.
