Who it is forAn engineer or on-call agent facing a log file with thousands of lines who needs the real errors fast.
The problemReading a 3,000-line log line by line costs many Claude tokens and most lines are noise.
The outcomeClaude receives the failing lines with repeated patterns collapsed into line-number ranges; the benchmark's noisy service log task reached 100% F1 with 95% fewer Claude tokens.
What you need first
- Claude Code installed
- Node 18 or later
- A Jev key from console.typesafe.ai
- Content you are allowed to send to TypeSafe's API
Steps
- Get a Jev key at console.typesafe.ai and run
npx github:UditAkhourii/quicksilver. - Restart Claude Code so it can use the skill.
- Run
qs filter "Does this line report a failure?" app.log --linesand replace app.log with your log file. (inferred, check the README) - Check the receipt line at the end of the output for lines scanned, matches, and borderline items.
- Ask Claude to explain the matched line ranges, and review any ? lines by hand.
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo UditAkhourii/quicksilver, run qs filter with the question "Does this line report a failure?" and the --lines flag on <log-file>. Summarize the matched line ranges and their likely causes. Verify that the receipt line reports the number of lines scanned.
Caveat. Logs whose labels encode unwritten policy, like the BGL supercomputer log in the benchmark, scored poorly, so test on a sample before trusting the results.
