Paste the stack trace
The tool splits it into frames and pulls out the error/message line.
TRACE TRIAGE

How it works
Identify your own code
A path fragment like src/ or app/ lets the tool separate your frames from dependency frames.
Get a starting point
The first frame in your own code is usually the fastest place to start debugging.

Frequently asked questions
Why separate my code from dependency frames?
Most root causes trace back to your own call site even when the failure surfaces deep inside a dependency — starting at the first frame you actually own is usually the fastest path to the real cause.
What if no frames match my own-code identifier?
Double-check the path fragment you entered matches how your code actually appears in the trace (case, separators, or a different working directory).
Does this work for any programming language?
The frame-detection heuristic covers common trace formats (Node/JS 'at', Python 'File "..."', and similar patterns with a line number) — very unusual formats may need manual review.
Is this a replacement for a debugger?
No — it's a fast first pass to triage where to start looking, not a substitute for stepping through the actual failure.
