System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers and developers systematically review and understand legacy code, data, and analysis files, making it easier to revive old projects, audit inherited code, or prepare for revisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exploration: Identifies existing files, directory structure, and modification dates.
  • Pipeline Understanding: Maps out main scripts, their execution order, data inputs, and outputs.
  • Documentation: Assists in creating or updating READMEs and documenting data flows.
  • Safety Establishment: Guides the creation of a legacy/ folder for original files and sets up version control.
  • Use Case: You're returning to a complex analysis project after a year-long break. This Skill will help you quickly re-familiarize yourself with the codebase, understand how the data was processed, and ensure everything is safely backed up before you start making changes.

Quick Start

Use the code-archaeology skill to explore the current project directory and document its structure and main scripts.
