The whole vision and infrastructure of Repairnator can be used for creating mentoring bots: bots who give useful feedback to junior developers on how to program better.

This is related to the Sobo mode, ref #1260

This is also related to #1141

I configure the Sobo integration in a way where now there is a feedback option so that you can choose between Repair Tools or Feedback tools. Also, on the Pipeline for feedback tools, there is an option to use repair tools.

So Sobo is a feedback tool inside the feedback mode in Repairnator. Is there another tool you would like to integrate?

I'm reading #1141 , and an approach that comes to my mind is adding SORALD to the feedback mode. So, suppose the user wants to avoid receiving the patch as a PR. In that case, they can select using SORALD in feedback mode. Every time they have a violation, Sorald opens an issue in human language.
WDYT?

That is so cool! So if we configure "repair" mode in Sobo, do students
directly get the repair?

No, but it should be possible without making significant architectural changes.

How will that be different from Sobo?

SOBO is made for students. It presents a pedagogical explanation of violations and gives nudging and informal messages. In the user case we are discussing now, we are referring to developers who don't need a type of feedback more precise, and in this scenario, giving the solution is not a problem.
