Did you ever get frustrated while diagnosing an issue with Renovate Bot because of its very verbose debug logs? Then this is the right tool for you.
renovate-log-parser is a CLI with the following commands:
-
detect-errors: meant for CI pipelines; it scans the log for potential problems and warnings and exits with an error, helping you detect and solve hidden Renovate issues you would otherwise miss
-
analyze: (with a corresponding SKILL.md) tells your coding agent (Codex, Copilot, Claude Code, etc.) about the log's structure, allowing it to efficiently read only the most relevant log lines in a token-efficient way, so that it can quickly (and cheaply) diagnose Renovate problems
-
web: starts a temporary local web server that parses the log and serves a browser-based interface that you use to analyze and filter Renovate logs of any length; this solves the problem of tedious, manual “grep”-like analyses where your text editor chokes on too large files
-
install-analyze-skill: writes a SKILL.md into your project or home directory, teaching your coding agent how to use renovate-log-parser. Optionally includes instructions for pulling the log straight from your GitHub Actions Renovate runs (for self-hosted Renovate)
I'm curious what you think, looking for feedback.
