Failure recovery recommendations for CLI commands

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of failure-success pairs, a failure-success pair including a failed CLI command and a successfully-executed CLI command, wherein the successfully-executed CLI command immediately followed a failed CLI command in historical usage data of the CLI;
• receiving an error message from a failed CLI script, the failed CLI script including a first failed CLI command;
• selecting a successfully-executed CLI command to remediate the first failed CLI command based on the first failed CLI command matching the failed CLI command of the selected successfully-executed CLI command;
• and
• forming a recommendation to remediate the first failed CLI command, the recommendation including the selected successfully-executed CLI command.

A device, comprising:

• at least one processor coupled to a memory;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• detect a failure of a command of a command line interface to execute successfully;
• determine a failure type of the failed command;
• generate a recommendation to correct the failed command from a conditional probability model given the failed command and the failure type, the recommendation including a success command to remedy the failed command, the conditional probability model predicting the success command based on a probability of the success command immediately following the failed command;
• and
• output the recommendation to a user device having initiated the failed command.
