# Fix a failed pipeline

Let a coding agent read a failing test or build, propose a fix, and wait for your OK, like GitLab's self-healing pipeline flows.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Your own material (text, notes or data)

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

My CI pipeline failed. Here's the log: [paste]. Explain in plain words what broke, find the most likely cause in the code, make the smallest fix, and run the tests again. Put the change on a new branch and stop before merging so I can review it.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
