Stack traces that tell the tale — Java error logs, rewritten for the reader that increasingly triages them: an AI.
When an exception hits, stacktale captures the culprit line, the story that led to it, the args / MDC / exception state, and the environment — at the source — and writes one compact, AI-ready report to errors-ai.log. Your normal logs stay untouched. Up to 98% fewer tokens, carrying more context, not less.
A framework-agnostic core, with thin adapters on top — plug it into any framework, or none.
| Repo | What it is |
|---|---|
| stacktale | The library: the agnostic engine + adapters for Logback / Log4j2 / JUL, a Spring Boot starter, an MCP server, and a javaagent. On Maven Central. |
| stacktale-intellij | IntelliJ / JetBrains plugin — a tool window over errors-ai.log: jump to the culprit line, copy-for-AI. |
Roadmap: a VS Code extension, a stacktale CLI, and idiomatic starters for Micronaut & Quarkus — both already usable today via the Logback / JUL adapters.
good first issue and help wanted tickets live in stacktale/stacktale/issues. PRs and feedback are very welcome.
