The same root cause keeps coming back because nobody tracks it. I built a zero-dep CLI that does.

Short summary

rootecho detects when incident root causes repeat and shows whether previous action items were completed. It compares local JSON postmortems using tag-weighted Jaccard similarity scoring, stores history in .rootecho/history.jsonl for Git integration, and supports both Node.js and Python with byte-identical output. Zero dependencies, MIT licensed, designed for teams managing incidents without paid platforms.

• •Flags when new incident root causes echo past ones and reveals which previous action items were never completed
• •Supports Node.js and Python with dual-language byte-identical output; stores history locally in Git-tracked JSONL
• •Zero dependencies, runs in milliseconds, no ML or network calls—fills the gap for teams using spreadsheets instead of platforms like Rootly
