Question

An AI assistant wrote this Bash CI helper that archives a directory whose name comes from a pipeline variable (`$PROJECT`, set from a branch/PR field). It works for a branch named `main`. Review it before it runs in CI with write access to artifacts.

bash

1#!/usr/bin/env bash2set -e3 4PROJECT=$15tar czf backup.tgz $PROJECT6aws s3 cp backup.tgz s3://artifacts/$PROJECT/backup.tgz7echo "backed up $PROJECT"

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.
