*Stack traces that tell the tale.*

A Logback appender that turns Java errors into **AI-ready reports**. Add one dependency — and every error your app logs becomes a complete, token-efficient report in `errors-ai.log`, shaped for a reader that increasingly triages your errors: an AI assistant or an automated agent. It's written **alongside** your normal logs — the full stack trace stays exactly where it is.

A raw 31-frame Java stack trace is distilled into a compact stacktale report, pasted to an AI assistant, which pinpoints the null customer from a cache miss and writes the fix on its first reply.
Stack trace → stacktale report → paste to your AI → fixed. One paste, no interrogation. See it live →
