We've all been there.

It's 11 PM. You push what you're 90% sure is the final commit. GitHub Actions runs. Red X.

You click into the workflow. 4,000 lines of logs. Somewhere in there is the actual reason your build broke, buried between npm install noise, deprecation warnings, and that one job that always retries twice for no reason.

20 minutes later you find it: a missing env var. Or a flaky test. Or a Node version mismatch in one specific job.

I built FailBrief because I got tired of this loop.

FailBrief is a GitHub App that watches your Actions workflows. When something fails, it does what you'd do if you had infinite patience:

Reads the entire log

Figures out what actually broke (vs. the noise)

Posts a comment on your PR explaining it in plain English

That comment includes the error type, severity, the specific failing line, and a suggested fix.…
