Every developer knows the drill: you open your IDE after a break and spend the first 20 minutes figuring out where you left off. r⚡B0ot solves that by reading an IBM Bob IDE session export and creating a Restoration String — a compact mental snapshot of exactly what you were doing, what you’d tried, and what to do next. Paste it into a new Bob session, and you’re instantly back in the zone. Just two Bob commands, zero lost context. `/snapshot` saves your session before you step away. `/reboot` brings it all back when you return — even the dead ends you’ve already ruled out, so you never waste time retracing steps. Built during a hackathon using itself, every Bob session in development was exported and run through r⚡B0ot. The `/reboot` command restored context at the start of each session, with over 20 saved sessions in `bob_sessions/` as proof — /reboot built by r⚡B0ot. Sprint highlights: - Smart three-part session trimming that keeps the most important context - Precision credential scanner ensuring no secrets leave your machine - `--interactive` mode to pick from suggested next steps - `/snapshot` and `/reboot` commands for a no-CLI workflow - 11-test suite with a perfect pass rate Validated across all five IBM Bob modes: Code, Ask, Plan, Advanced, and Orchestrator, with Orchestrator running full end-to-end checks and issuing formal approval. The demo moment: Bob restored a multi-project context from a `/snapshot` taken earlier and autonomously finished a pending task — no manual context re-entry needed. True cognitive continuity between sessions. Market: Every developer context-switches. TAM: 27M developers worldwide. SAM: IBM Bob IDE users + watsonx.ai enterprise customers. Revenue: SaaS per seat, enterprise team tier, or native Bob integration.
