Causefile Buy beta

For JS/TS teams with noisy GitHub Actions

Find the first useful cause in a failed CI run.

Causefile turns noisy Playwright, npm, typecheck, lint, and dependency failures into a cited likely cause, owner/file hint, and smallest next action.

Built for small teams that need to understand red CI before assigning it.

Causefile report

Pay button never becomes enabled

  • Cause Playwright assertion timed out while waiting for the checkout button.
  • Cited lines `Expected: enabled`, `Received: disabled`, `Timeout: 15000ms`.
  • Next action Inspect the payment-ready fixture before changing app code.

Built for the first thirty minutes after red CI

Red CI should not become a 30-minute Slack thread.

See the first cause

Every report points to concrete log lines instead of summarizing the whole failure into vague prose.

Assign the right owner

File, package, and command hints tell the next person where to look before the failure gets bounced around.

Measure what helped

Each run creates a row for `accepted`, `wrong`, or `needs_follow_up` so quality can improve from real failures.

Likely cause: test failure

The log points to a failing Playwright assertion. Strongest owner hint: tests/checkout.spec.ts:42.

  1. Open the failing test and assertion.
  2. Confirm whether expected behavior or fixture data changed.
  3. Compare against the last merged change and dependency updates.

Privacy boundary

Private logs stay on your machine.

Local CLI only. No hosted log upload. No telemetry by default.

Reports are best-effort redacted, but generated artifacts should still be reviewed before sharing.

Support asks for safe excerpts or reviewed CSV rows, not raw private logs.

Contact before checkout

Ask for a sample review before buying.

If you want to confirm fit first, send a public failed GitHub Actions run, a safe redacted excerpt, or a question about install/privacy before checkout.
