description	Audit, enrich, and plan safe modernization for legacy or under-documented systems.

ORCA Framework Legacy

What This Skill Is

A legacy modernization workflow for understanding inherited systems and planning staged, verifiable change.

Trigger

Use for old, messy, under-documented, inherited, or fragile systems where the risk is understanding and preserving behavior.

Do Not Trigger

Do not use as a license for a broad rewrite or dependency sweep.

Required Inputs

Repository, module, system, or work item
Modernization goal or pain point

Optional Inputs

Known risky flows
Existing docs
Test commands
Runtime or deployment context

Exact Workflow

Read the work item and existing docs.
Perform repo archaeology before proposing changes.
Map modules, dependencies, call chains, and key flows.
Extract business logic and undocumented assumptions.
Identify test gaps, fragile areas, and migration risks.
Produce a legacy audit and risk report.
Draft a modernization spec for the first safe slice.
Recommend regression tasks that preserve important behavior.

Expected Outputs

Filled templates/legacy-audit.md
Filled templates/legacy-risk-report.md
Filled templates/modernization-spec.md

Quality Bar

The output should make the legacy system safer to change without pretending it is fully understood.

Common Failure Modes

rewriting before mapping behavior
treating missing tests as permission to change freely
deleting suspected dead code without runtime evidence
modernizing dependencies without understanding call chains
