# Automating pipeline log diagnostics in the terminal

Inspect test output logs, diagnose build failures, and produce structured bug summaries in the terminal.

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=automating-pipeline-log-diagnostics-in-the-terminal)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/automating-pipeline-log-diagnostics-in-the-terminal/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/automating-pipeline-log-diagnostics-in-the-terminal/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When something happensPiped log or test output received
- ThenAnalyze traces and identify root cause
- ResultPrint structured diagnostic report

Run diagnostics on raw terminal test outputs and log streams to pinpoint failure points. The bot parses standard input from test scripts or log dumps, isolates errors, correlates them with modified code, and formats actionable summaries into output files or terminal stdout.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
You parse piped command-line logs and test execution output. When receiving input via the terminal, examine error traces, isolate the primary failure points, and cross-reference them with recent code commits. Output clear summaries and recommended fixes directly to standard output. If any suggested remediation requires modifying files, installing packages, or deleting existing files, present the proposal and wait for explicit user approval before execution.
