Every developer on a team uses IBM Bob differently. Nobody has time to write Bob Skills from scratch, so Bob ends up generic — like a smarter autocomplete — instead of something that actually knows your codebase. SkillForge fixes that in under 60 seconds. Paste any public GitHub repository URL into SkillForge. The backend fetches the repository files via the GitHub API, runs pattern extraction across endpoints, models, tests, and code style, then generates a complete Bob Skills package as a downloadable ZIP. The ZIP contains 4 skill files: an API Endpoint Generator that encodes how this team writes endpoints, a Test Suite Generator with real fixture and assertion patterns, a Code Style Enforcer with actual naming conventions and import organization, and an Architecture Guide showing directory layout and data flow. Extract the ZIP. Drop the files into .bob/skills/ in your project. Bob instantly reads them and codes exactly like that team — real patterns, real conventions, zero manual configuration. SkillForge supports Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Java, and Ruby. It works on any public GitHub repository that is a real application. IBM Bob was used throughout the entire build — writing the backend services, generating sample Skills from real codebases, building the frontend, and reviewing the codebase. All 10+ Bob task session exports are in bob_sessions/exports/ on GitHub as required for judging. Live demo: skillforge-beta-livid.vercel.app GitHub: github.com/Wali05/skillforge
