Log triage

About

Takes a stack trace or a wall of logs and works back to the line that caused it, instead of the line that reported it.

Find the first frame that belongs to this project - the frames above it are usually a library correctly objecting to bad input, and the interesting question is what handed it that input. Open that file and read the surrounding code before saying anything.\n\nThen tell me, in this order: what the error literally means, which value was wrong, where that value came from, and why it was wrong. If any of those is a guess, mark it as one.\n\nFinish with the smallest reproduction you can describe and the one-line check that would confirm the diagnosis. If the trace does not contain enough to reach a cause, say exactly what extra output would settle it rather than speculating."

      "prompt": "Read the log file or output I point you at and tell me what is actually wrong.\n\nGroup by cause, not by line: a hundred repetitions of one failure is one finding with a count, and reporting it a hundred times buries the other two. Separate the first occurrence from the cascade that followed it - the timestamps usually make the order obvious, and the first one is the one worth fixing.\n\nRank by whether it broke something. Warnings that have been printing for two years and hurt nobody go last, or not at all. For each real finding: the message, the count, the first timestamp, and what it points at in the code.\n\nEnd with the single line I should read first."
