It's very-very-very convoluted and it requires some deciphering but is for the most part readable.
I've actually tried dabbling in something with an addon and the logs probably won't work even if you parse them right. ACT use to try and do the same thing, but the data isn't real time (delay between in memory cache and dump to log files) and there's only so much data you can extract from logs.
I think many people are skeptical that any mod tools will be released anytime soon. The only real feasible way is to scan the memory for signatures, but that feels rather dirty to do and officially against ToS to datamine the game (but that's what sites like xivdb do). I had hopes of attempting to make a better UI for buffs and skills that require triggers, but it's rather tedious trying to find the right pointers and it feels a bit dirty too even if you aren't cheating or doing anything gamebreaking modifying.
