Reverse-Engineering Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill generates comprehensive maintainers' documentation by reverse-engineering an existing codebase with little or no documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic Architecture Discovery: identify system components, data flows, and interfaces across languages.
• Entry Point & Critical Path Documentation: capture HTTP endpoints, background jobs, CLI commands, and scheduled tasks.
• Onboarding & Knowledge Transfer: create starter docs to help new maintainers ramp up quickly.

Quick Start

• Run a code-analysis pass over the repository to derive architecture diagrams and data flows.
• Populate the documentation templates with the discovered components, data flows, and critical paths.
• Review and publish the documentation for future maintainers.
