RepoQuest is an AI-powered developer onboarding and first-PR simulator. When a user enters a GitHub repository, RepoQuest analyzes the project structure and turns the codebase into a guided learning journey. Instead of only generating static documentation, it creates a repository overview, architecture map, onboarding missions, mentor-style hints, suggested tests, contribution difficulty scoring, and a first PR readiness report. The goal is to help interns, new engineers, open-source contributors, and hackathon teammates move from “I don’t understand this repo” to “I know where to contribute.” IBM Bob IDE is used as the core development partner for understanding code, refining the product workflow, generating mission logic, improving documentation, and preparing first PR guidance. IBM watsonx.ai with Granite enhances AI-generated outputs, while watsonx Orchestrate supports the workflow as a conversational onboarding coach. RepoQuest reduces onboarding friction, saves mentor time, and helps developers make meaningful contributions with more confidence.
