Ada Log Intelligence

Biomimetic log analysis for kids and DevOps! (v2.7+)

Ada understands log files using the same cognitive architecture as her memory system. Explain Minecraft crashes to kids OR compress production logs 100:1 for DevOps - same underlying intelligence.

Overview

What You Get:

• Kid-friendly Minecraft crash explanations - “OptiFine and Sodium are fighting!”

• Pattern matching for common errors - OptiFine conflicts, OutOfMemory, mod issues

• Foundation for 100:1 log compression - Using importance scoring from v2.2 research

• Extensible parser system - JSON logs, syslog, custom formats

• Standalone library - Use outside of Ada (pip install ada-logs)

Philosophy:

Logs are just another form of memory. Apply the same biomimetic importance scoring:

• Surprise - Novel errors matter more than repeated warnings

• Relevance - Crashes more important than debug messages

• Temporal decay - Recent errors matter more

• Habituation - Filter noise from repetitive log spam

Quick Start

Option 1: Standalone Library

# Install standalone package
pip install ada-logs

# Analyze a Minecraft crash
ada-logs analyze crash-2024-12-19.log --for-kids

# Get machine-readable output
ada-logs analyze crash.log --format json

Option 2: Within Ada

1. Upload a .log file to Ada (Web UI or API)

2. LogAnalysisSpecialist auto-activates

3. Get conversational explanation

# Via Python API
import requests

files = {'file': open('minecraft-crash.log', 'rb')}
response = requests.post(
    'http://localhost:7000/v1/chat/stream',
    data={'message': 'Explain this crash'},
    files=files
)

Features

Minecraft Crash Analysis

What It Does:

• Detects Minecraft crashes automatically - Recognizes crash report format

• Parses Java exceptions - Stack traces, error messages, mod lists

• Identifies common patterns - OptiFine conflicts, OutOfMemory, missing mods

• Kid-friendly explanations - No jargon, clear metaphors

• Fix suggestions - Step-by-step remediation

Example Output:

🎮 MINECRAFT CRASH ANALYSIS

**What Happened:** OptiFine and Sodium are fighting!

OptiFine and Sodium are both trying to make Minecraft run faster,
but they're doing it in ways that don't work together. It's like
two people trying to steer the same car at the same time!

**How to Fix:**
1. Remove OptiFine from your mods folder
   OR
2. Remove Sodium from your mods folder

Pick ONE performance mod, not both.

**Difficulty:** Easy ⭐
**Estimated Time:** 2 minutes

Pattern Detection:

• OptiFine + Sodium conflict - Most common Minecraft crash

• OutOfMemoryError - Need to allocate more RAM

• Mod X requires Mod Y - Missing dependency

• NullPointerException - Bug in mod code

• ClassNotFoundException - Mod not loaded correctly

Biomimetic Compression

The Insight:

Production logs have millions of lines. Most are noise. Apply Ada’s importance scoring:

• Surprise (60%) - New errors are important

• Relevance (20%) - Crashes > warnings > debug

• Temporal decay (10%) - Recent matters more

• Habituation (10%) - Repeated logs lose importance

Result: 100:1 compression with preserved signal.

Example:

# Before (10,000 lines)
[DEBUG] Request processed: 200 OK (x9,847)
[WARN] Slow query: 1.2s (x142)
[ERROR] Database connection failed (x1)
[WARN] Slow query: 1.3s (x10)

# After (100 lines) - Importance-weighted
[ERROR] Database connection failed (SURPRISE: 0.95)
[WARN] Slow query: 1.2s (SURPRISE: 0.62, COUNT: 152)
[DEBUG] Request processed: 200 OK (omitted x9,847)

Status: Foundation implemented (v2.7), full compression coming in future release.

Conversational Analysis

Upload logs to Ada and chat about them:

User: [uploads minecraft-crash.log]

Ada: I found a Minecraft crash! It looks like OptiFine and
     Sodium are conflicting. This is really common - both
     mods try to optimize rendering but in incompatible ways.

     Want me to explain more about what's happening?

User: Yes, and how do I fix it?

Ada: Here's what to do:

     1. Open your mods folder (.minecraft/mods)
     2. Find OptiFine-*.jar and delete it
        OR find Sodium-*.jar and delete it
     3. Start Minecraft again

     You only need ONE performance mod. I recommend Sodium
     because it's faster on modern computers, but OptiFine
     has more features (shaders, zoom, connected textures).

     Pick based on what you need!

Usage Examples

    result = parser.parse(f.read())

if result.patterns:
    print(f"Found {len(result.patterns)} issues:")
    for pattern in result.patterns:
        print(f"  - {pattern.name}: {pattern.description}")
        if pattern.kid_friendly:

Architecture

How It Works

1. Pattern Matching:

PATTERNS = [
    {
        'name': 'OptiFine + Sodium Conflict',
        'regex': r'(optifine|sodium).*mixin.*conflict',
        'severity': 'ERROR',
        'kid_friendly': 'OptiFine and Sodium are fighting!',
    },
    # ... more patterns
]

2. Log Parsing:

• Detect format (Minecraft, JSON, syslog, generic)

• Extract timestamps, log levels, messages

• Build structured representation

3. Importance Scoring:

• Surprise: Is this error new or repeated?

• Relevance: ERROR > WARN > INFO > DEBUG

• Context: Stack traces increase importance

• Temporal: Recent logs weighted higher

4. Explanation Generation:

• Match patterns to detected issues

• Select kid-friendly vs technical explanation

• Generate fix steps based on severity

5. Compression (Future):

• Group similar log lines

• Score importance using biomimetic signals

• Keep top N% by importance

• Emit compressed log with metadata

Design Philosophy

Inspired by v2.2 Memory Research:

Ada’s memory system learned that surprise matters more than recency. Logs are the same:

• A new ERROR is more important than the 1000th DEBUG message

• A surprising pattern (OptiFine + Sodium) more important than routine startup logs

• Temporal context helps (recent crashes matter) but novelty dominates

Same cognitive architecture, different domain.

Extending the Parser

Add Custom Patterns

from ada_logs import MinecraftParser

parser = MinecraftParser()

# Add your pattern
parser.add_pattern({
    'name': 'MyMod Crash',
    'regex': r'MyMod.*NullPointerException',
    'severity': 'ERROR',
    'kid_friendly': 'MyMod has a bug!',
    'fix': 'Update MyMod to the latest version',
    'difficulty': 'Easy',
})

result = parser.parse(log_content)

Create New Parser

from ada_logs.parsers.base import BaseParser

class ApacheParser(BaseParser):
    def can_parse(self, content: str) -> bool:
        return 'Apache' in content

    def parse(self, content: str) -> ParseResult:
        # Your parsing logic
        return ParseResult(
            format='apache',
            timestamp=...,
            errors=[...],
            patterns=[...],
        )

Register in Ada

# brain/specialists/log_analysis_specialist.py

from ada_logs.parsers import MinecraftParser, ApacheParser

PARSERS = [
    MinecraftParser(),
    ApacheParser(),  # Your new parser!
    # ... more parsers
]

Configuration

Standalone Library

from ada_logs import Config

config = Config(
    kid_friendly_default=True,
    max_patterns=10,
    importance_threshold=0.5,
    compression_ratio=100,  # 100:1 compression target
)

parser = MinecraftParser(config=config)

Within Ada

# .env file
LOG_ANALYSIS_ENABLED=true
LOG_ANALYSIS_KID_MODE=true
LOG_ANALYSIS_MAX_PATTERNS=10

Via Specialist Config

# brain/config.py

class Config(BaseSettings):
    log_analysis_enabled: bool = True
    log_analysis_kid_mode: bool = True
    log_analysis_compression_ratio: int = 100

Research Foundation

v2.2 Importance Scoring

Ada Log Intelligence uses the research-validated importance weights from v2.2:

Signal	Weight	Application to Logs
Surprise	0.60	Novel errors, first occurrence of pattern
Relevance	0.20	ERROR > WARN > INFO > DEBUG
Temporal Decay	0.10	Recent logs slightly more important
Habituation	0.10	Repeated warnings lose importance

Validated by:

• 80 tests (property-based, synthetic, production)

• +6.5% improvement on real conversation data

• Published research in .ai/explorations/

See: RELEASE_v2.2.0.md for complete research details.

Future Roadmap

v2.7 (Current):

• ✅ Minecraft crash parser

• ✅ Pattern matching system

• ✅ Kid-friendly explanations

• ✅ Standalone ada-logs package

Troubleshooting

Parser Not Detecting Format

Check log format:

head -20 crash.log

Minecraft logs should start with:

---- Minecraft Crash Report ----
// There are four lights!

Force format:

ada-logs analyze crash.log --format minecraft

Pattern Not Matching

Check pattern regex:

import re
pattern = r'optifine.*sodium'
with open('crash.log') as f:
    if re.search(pattern, f.read(), re.IGNORECASE):
        print("Pattern matches!")

Enable debug mode:

ada-logs analyze crash.log --debug
