DevLens – AI-Powered Developer Toolkit

DevLens is an AI-powered developer toolkit built on IBM Bob for the IBM Bob Hackathon 2026, themed "Turn idea into impact faster." Every developer faces the same daily frustrations — waiting hours for a PR review, spending weeks onboarding to an unfamiliar codebase, missing edge cases that slip into production, and writing the same repetitive commit messages every single day. DevLens solves all of these problems instantly. At its core, DevLens provides 12 custom IBM Bob slash commands that leverage Bob's full repository context awareness to deliver insights no generic AI tool can match. The two flagship commands are /review-pr, which analyzes your staged git changes and produces a comprehensive PR review including a risk score, flagged bugs, security concerns, missing tests, and a pre-merge checklist — and /explain-repo, which scans an entire codebase and generates a "Repo Bible" covering architecture, data flow, directory structure, complexity warnings, and a getting started guide for new contributors. Beyond IBM Bob, DevLens is built to be universal. A single one-line setup script installs DevLens into any existing project and auto-configures it for Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Cody, and Windsurf — giving every developer on a team access to the same slash commands regardless of their preferred IDE. For developers who want zero installation, DevLens ships with a full Next.js web application where users can paste code or drop in a GitHub URL and receive instant AI-powered analysis across six analysis types directly in their browser. Every output is saved as a structured markdown report to the project repository, making DevLens results shareable, version-controllable, and reviewable by the whole team. DevLens turns IBM Bob into a senior developer that is always available — reviewing code, explaining codebases, catching security holes, and helping every developer ship faster with confidence.
