hello-build-agent
Autonomous DevOps side-kick
Clones any public repo, indexes docs to Qdrant, asks an LLM to craft the optimal Dockerfile, then builds, self-repairs and logs every step.
✨ Key features
| 🧩 | Description |
|---|---|
| LLM-driven Dockerfile | Uses OpenAI (gpt-4o-mini* by default) to propose a minimal, working Dockerfile based on real file-tree analysis. |
| Self-healing loop | If the image fails to build, the agent feeds the error back to the LLM → receives a patch → retries ― until success or user input. |
| Qdrant ingestion & search | README and file-tree chunks are embedded and stored in Qdrant; you can query them later (query_qdrant). |
| Quota guards | Two env-controlled limits: QUOTA_TOKENS, QUOTA_FAILS ― agent pauses and asks the human before overspending. |
| Live Rich logs | Timestamp · action · comment · token-counter, neatly aligned and colourised. |
| CI/CD ready | GitHub Actions → PyPI wheel + Docker Hub & GHCR images on each vX.Y.Z tag. |
* Change the model with the MODEL env var or --model CLI flag.
🚀 Quick start
./quickstart.sh
build_logs/ and workspace/ are mounted on the host for inspection.
