StackShift Codebase Reverse Engineering

Acerca de

This skill automates the second step of the StackShift workflow by performing a deep dive into existing applications to extract essential domain knowledge. It adapts its analysis based on project goals—focusing on tech-agnostic business logic for Greenfield rewrites or capturing the full technical stack for Brownfield migrations. By generating nine standardized documentation files covering API contracts, infrastructure, and test coverage, it provides the structural foundation required to transition from legacy code to spec-driven development.

Características Principales
