dld-retrofit

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you integrate Decision-Linked Development (DLD) into an existing codebase by automatically inferring and documenting the rationale behind the code's current structure and behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Codebase Analysis: Identifies key components, tech stack, and architectural patterns.
• Decision Generation: Creates structured decision records (Markdown files with YAML frontmatter) for foundational system aspects and implementation details.
• Annotation: Adds @decision annotations to relevant code sections for traceability.
• Use Case: You have a legacy system with no documentation. Running /dld-retrofit will analyze the code, generate initial decision records explaining why certain architectural choices were made, and add annotations, providing a starting point for understanding and maintaining the system.

Quick Start

Use the dld-retrofit skill to analyze the current codebase and generate initial decision records.
