Legacy - Reverse Engineering Documentation
Analyzes existing code and generates documentation automatically.
Core Concept: Recursive Understanding Tree
AI builds a logical understanding tree that grows DEEP, not wide. Each directory is a logical concept, each _node.md is understanding at that level.
Recursive Traversal Algorithm
- ENTER: Push to stack, create
_node.md, form hypothesis.
- EXPLORE: Read source code, validate understanding.
- SPAWN: Identify child concepts needing deeper analysis.
- RECURSE: For each child, repeat process.
- SYNTH: Combine children insights, update
_node.md.
- EXIT: Generate/Update ADR/SDD/DDD/TDD/VDD docs.
Match Flow Protocol
CRITICAL: Before creating any flow, search for existing matching flow using keyword overlap.
- If match found (score >= 2): APPEND new insights as "Legacy Additions".
- If no match: CREATE new flow in DRAFT status.
Mandates
- FIRST: Scan all existing flows before any analysis.
- MATCH: Search for existing matching flows before creating new.
- APPEND: Update existing flows with "Legacy Additions" sections only.
- ASK: Stop immediately on conflicts, don't defer.
- PERSIST: State in
_traverse.md after EVERY action.
