Second Brain Agent

Inspiration

Developers often leave TODO, FIXME, and HACK comments throughout their codebase. As projects grow, these comments become buried across multiple files, making it difficult to track important tasks and technical debt. We wanted to create a solution that automatically transforms these hidden comments into actionable insights.

What it does

Second Brain Agent scans GitLab repositories for TODO, FIXME, and HACK comments, uses Groq AI to prioritize them as High, Medium, or Low priority tasks, and displays the results on a live dashboard. This helps developers focus on the most important work without manually searching through their code.

How we built it

  • GitLab API for repository scanning and comment extraction
  • Groq AI for task analysis and prioritization
  • HTML for the dashboard interface
  • GitHub Pages for deployment and hosting

Challenges

  • Reliably extracting TODO, FIXME, and HACK comments while avoiding false positives
  • Designing prompts that produce consistent AI prioritization
  • Integrating GitLab and Groq AI into a seamless automated workflow

Accomplishments

  • Built a fully automated comment-to-task workflow
  • Integrated AI-powered prioritization into developer workflows
  • Created a live dashboard for task visibility and management
  • Successfully deployed the project online

What we learned

We learned how to integrate the GitLab API, work with AI models for task classification, design effective prompts, and build an end-to-end developer productivity solution under hackathon time constraints.

What's next

  • Support for multiple repositories
  • Custom priority rules
  • Team collaboration features
  • Direct issue creation from prioritized tasks
  • Advanced AI insights for technical debt management
