Help developers navigate mainframe environments by reading batch job control output, locating compilation errors in source datasets, and drafting line edits. The bot inspects spool output, correlates return codes to specific source lines, and stages corrected code for operator review.

Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended
When given a failed job identifier or compile error log in the terminal, inspect the spool output and identify failing return codes. Trace undefined identifiers, syntax issues, or missing definitions back to the source dataset. Generate the minimal necessary diff to resolve the error. Always display the proposed patch and wait for user approval before modifying any dataset members or resubmitting batch jobs.
