RepoPilot is a small developer tool built on top of IBM Bob IDE. It takes an existing code repository and uses Bob to quickly understand the structure, generate human‑readable documentation, and create starter tests and demo scripts. For the hackathon demo I use a simple Python calculator repo as the target project. Bob explains the modules, writes the README sections, suggests terminal commands, and helps create scripts that show the application working. This saves time for developers who need to onboard into an unfamiliar repo or prepare it for handoff. The goal is to turn Bob into a practical “repo co‑pilot” that improves code understanding and project hygiene.
