BreakerMachines is a production-ready circuit breaker for Ruby/Rails with built-in async/fiber support, fallback chains, and rich monitoring. Unlike existing gems, it handles modern Ruby's fiber scheduler and avoids dangerous thread timeouts.

I’m usually weary of long readmes with too much styling as that indicates to me a high likelihood that they were written by ai and the author might not have even read all of it. The use of generic ai images also gives a bad impression - for example, there’s an image captioned “The green lines? Those are your CPU cycles escaping.” without anything green pictured.

I’m not saying your gem is bad. It’s nice to se an attempt at a circuit breaker that is based on the state machines gem, I will certainly look into the actual code if I have a need for it in the future.

Just wanted to give you this bit of feedback about maybe cutting down on length and loosing the ai images in the readme as I think it might be a turnoff for others as well.

I did split the readme now. Thank you again.
