A few months ago I made a neat little linux utility.

It was a drop in replacement shim for an arbitrary executable that would pretend to be the original when invoked, fork off the original and hook up to its stdout and stderr.

The error output was then fed to a custom GPT assistant that knew what program the errors came from. That assistant was tasked with turning the original errors into friendly human readable form. The output from the assistant was then sent out of the shim stderr.

It worked very well, but then I got really sick and wasn't able to work on it anymore.

I was using it for GCC / Clang errors because I had become tired of staring at heavily nested compiler dumps for concept/template issues, but you could use it for anything of course.

It would be a nice project for someone to build again, do it properly and generalize it since it doesn't look like I am going to be bouncing around again for a while.
