Bob Pipeline Doctor is a CI/CD failure triage dashboard built for developers who lose time manually reading pipeline logs, tracing impacted files, and deciding what is safe to fix before merging. The project uses IBM Bob as a repository-aware development partner to transform a failed pipeline into a structured remediation report. In the MVP, a controlled GitHub Actions failure fixture is exposed through a local read-only MCP ingestion pattern. IBM Bob analyzes the failure context, identifies the likely root cause, maps impacted files, recommends safe remediation steps, suggests missing tests, and summarizes merge confidence with explicit risks and unknowns. The goal is not to automatically fix or deploy code. Instead, Bob Pipeline Doctor keeps humans in the review loop while reducing the time needed to understand CI/CD failures. The dashboard presents the diagnosis, evidence, impacted files, remediation checklist, recommended tests, safety boundaries, and IBM Bob session evidence in one clear command-center interface. For the hackathon, the project focuses on a reproducible local workflow with no credentials, no live private repository access, and no unsafe automation. Future versions could connect the same MCP pattern to GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Buildkite, or other CI/CD platforms.
