Code Guard

Enterprise engineering teams face a silent crisis every sprint. Nobody knows which developer is creating the most production risk. Nobody knows which module will collapse when a key person leaves. Nobody has objective data for coaching conversations. Git blame shows who wrote it. SonarQube shows it is bad. But nothing connects contributor patterns, code quality, and business risk into one picture leaders can act on. Code Guard solves this using IBM Bob Skills — five markdown instruction files that teach Bob how to track, analyze, and report on your entire team automatically. Every time a developer commits code, they run the sync skill. IBM Bob reads the changed files using its full repository context, runs quality analysis using its built-in Tips system, detects test coverage gaps, and calculates four scores per developer — Reliability, Impact, Risk, and Growth. Those scores are written to a shared memory file committed directly to Git. No external database. No cloud service. No new tool to install. Three role-aware views emerge from that shared memory. Developers see their personal coaching dashboard. Team leads see their team filtered to their scope. Admins see everything — a contributor risk matrix, bus factor alerts, module ownership maps, score trends, and specific leadership recommendations backed by real code data. IBM Bob is not a supporting tool in Code Guard. Bob is the entire engine. Bob's full repository context makes the analysis meaningful. Bob's Tips system feeds the reliability scores. Bob's natural language interface makes everything accessible through simple slash commands inside Bob IDE. Code Guard turns the question every CTO asks — who on my team is creating risk right now — from an eight-hour manual audit into a sixty-second report.
