Abbreviatory turns a test run, a log or a JSON response into a short report. Failures, errors and warnings first, repeats folded into one line, all within a byte budget. Everything it leaves out stays one command away. No language model, no network.

Something went wrong overnight and the service log is 5.6 MB: 63,369 lines. Most of them are cache hits and request logs. Somewhere in there are the errors, each one …

A coding agent fixing a bug runs the tests again and again. Change a line, run go test ./..., read the output, change another line. Each run of our sample suite prints …

The first thing anyone does in a new repository is look around. A person runs tree and gives up after a few screens. A coding agent runs find . -type f and gets every …

Reviewing a big change starts with a question the diff doesn’t answer up front: what’s in here? git diff prints the first file’s first hunk and makes …

A red build on GitHub Actions usually means scrolling. The job log holds thousands of lines, the failures are somewhere in the middle, and the first question is always …
