To bootstrap legacy projects, this Skill generates a deterministic truth foundation comprising a project-profile, glossary, SSOT skeleton, and baseline specs when the truth directory is empty. It establishes a stable, auditable starting point for future changes and verification.

A project glossary and SSOT skeleton provide a shared vocabulary and single source of truth for legacy project governance. They enable a deterministic onboarding path for new teams to align on context and establish a measurable baseline for future audits.

Preventing changing specs during implementation requires establishing a measurable baseline with dedicated delta specs and verification anchors. This creates a stable, auditable truth foundation that keeps future changes traceable and prevents mid-implementation spec drift.

Yes, you can generate baseline specs and minimal verification anchors for legacy projects starting from an empty truth directory. The generated artifacts are deterministic, traceable, and ready for insertion into the current truth source via the standard delta spec workflow.

You need to generate a project-profile and truth assets when a growing codebase lacks a stable, auditable starting point for governance. This auto-creates the project constitution, context, and initial SSOT to establish a measurable baseline for future verification.
