Inside the Revival Report

Four sections, four answers.

01

What Is This?

Reconstructs your project's vision from code, README, and commit history. Tech stack and data model identified.

02

Where You Left Off

Finds the breadcrumbs. Last commit, unmerged branches, half-built features, the blockers you hit.

03

What's Problematic

Technical debt audit. Outdated dependencies, security issues, commented-out code, documentation drift.

04

What To Do Next

Prioritized action plan with rationale and effort estimates. Specific to your project, not generic advice.

Why Bob

Resurrect needs to read your entire project at once: every file, every commit, every commented-out block. Most AI coding tools can't. They read one file at a time and lose the thread between them.

IBM Bob holds the whole repo in context. That's how it can see your auth is commented out because of a session bug, and that the same bug is what stopped you shipping the social features. That kind of dot-connecting is what turns a static analyzer into a Revival Report.

Without repo-wide context, this would be guesswork. With Bob, the analysis stands up.

Two ways to use Resurrect
