bob-dev 0.2.3

An AI developer to write code for you

BOB Dev

BOB Dev is an AI-powered developer workflow CLI that bridges a task requirements, your codebase, and Claude Code.

Given a task ID (Jira or GitLab) it will:

1. Fetch the task title, description, and fix versions from Jira or GitLab.
2. Read your project's Markdown documentation to build rich LLM context.
3. Generate a precise Claude Code prompt (via GROK or OpenAI), including project-framework context, implementation steps, and test scenarios.
4. Analyse the prompt for ambiguities and security concerns.
5. Select (optionally) a Claude Code agent to run the implementation.
6. Execute the prompt with the Claude Code CLI (optional – you can review first).

Requirements

• Python 3.14+
• Claude Code CLI installed and available on $PATH as claude
• A Jira Cloud account with an API token or a GitLab account with a personal access token
• An xAI / GROK or OpenAI API key

Installation
