Debug failing CI jobs from a prompt #6

@structbinary

Description

@structbinary

Give CI-Copilot the ability to diagnose and help fix failing CI jobs. A user describes the problem (or pastes a job URL/log), and CI-Copilot analyzes the failure and suggests or applies a fix.

Examples

  • "Our CI build is failing on the lint step — here's the log"
  • "This GitHub Actions workflow keeps timing out on the test job"
  • "Why is our Docker build failing with exit code 1?"

What needs to happen

  • Accept CI job logs or URLs as input
  • Parse and classify failure types (dependency issues, test failures, config errors, timeout, permissions)
  • Correlate failures with the workflow definition
  • Suggest targeted fixes with explanations
  • Optionally apply the fix and open a PR (with approval)

Dependencies

  • Requires read access to CI job logs (GitHub Actions API, Jenkins API, etc.)
  • May benefit from the CI knowledge base (Issue: CI platform knowledge base)
