Looking for experience!

Inheriting a codebase you didn't write is the worst kind of detective work. You spend the first hour figuring out what depends on what, where the bugs live, and whether anyone bothered with docs. RepoSense answers those questions in minutes, inside VS Code. Click the RepoSense icon in your sidebar. The extension sends your workspace to a local FastAPI backend, which runs it through four IBM watsonx Orchestrate agents: Architect (maps your modules), Reviewer (finds real issues), Documenter (writes missing docstrings), and Hardener (flags security holes and modernization). You watch progress stream in as each agent runs. When they finish, IBM Granite on watsonx.ai computes a health score out of 100 with a letter grade. The sidebar then fills with five panels. Score is the headline number plus the top priorities. Architecture is an interactive D3 dependency graph with two modes: a force-directed network view of everything, and a tree view that re-roots on whichever node you click. Code Review lists findings ranked by severity, each with a file location and a fix. Documentation has auto-generated function docs and unit test stubs. Security shows vulnerabilities plus modernization opportunities. Doing this inside VS Code is the whole point. You never break flow, never alt-tab to a browser, never lose your place. Results cache per workspace folder, so switching projects shows the last report instantly. Credentials go through a setup wizard the first time you open the sidebar, so there's no .env editing. Built with IBM Bob, watsonx Orchestrate (four custom agents), and watsonx.ai (Granite for scoring). Backend is FastAPI, extension is TypeScript, graphs are D3. Supports Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. There's a run.sh in the repo root that sets up the venv, installs everything, and launches it in one command.
