198k tokens down to 129 — local heuristics beat LLM summarization.
Strengths
- •Real benchmarks: 62% fewer tokens, 71% fewer tool calls, 65% faster
- •Local-first heuristics avoid sending raw logs to expensive agents
- •Works across pytest, vitest, jest, tsc, webpack, Cargo, terraform
Weaknesses
- •Only useful if you're already running AI agents on test output
- •Heuristics may miss edge cases that full log analysis would catch
