Repopilot

RepoPilot is an AI-powered repository analysis and developer productivity platform built for the IBM Bob Hackathon theme, “Turn idea into impact faster.” It helps developers quickly understand, document, test, and secure a codebase without spending hours manually reviewing files, dependencies, and project structure. Users can scan a public GitHub repository or upload a ZIP file of a project. RepoPilot then runs an agent-based workflow to analyze the codebase and generate useful developer insights. Its functionality includes README generation, vulnerability scanning, bug and code-quality detection, dependency inventory, license analysis, secrets detection, complexity review, test coverage insights, and downloadable Markdown reports. The application is designed to make repository onboarding faster and more reliable. Instead of manually checking every file, developers get a clear dashboard with categorized findings, severity levels, recommended fixes, and report outputs that can be used for documentation, audits, handoffs, or future development planning. RepoPilot uses a modern full-stack architecture with a React and TypeScript frontend, Node.js and Express backend, middleware orchestration, and modular analysis agents. It does not require a database, making it lightweight and suitable for quick deployment and hackathon demos. IBM Bob was used as a core development partner throughout the project to support planning, coding, debugging, testing, documentation, and code review. RepoPilot demonstrates how AI-assisted development can reduce repetitive engineering work and help teams move from an idea to a working, impactful solution faster.
