SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates modernization of legacy or working code into high-standard, maintainable systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified 4-phase workflow (AUDIT, STRATEGY, EXECUTE, HARDEN) to measure debt, design structure, and implement improvements.
  • Seamless integration with related skills and tooling (debug, rca, analysis-profile, learn) to form a complete quality ecosystem.
  • Solo-developer friendly approach for small teams to transform codebases while enforcing constitutional and quality constraints.

Quick Start

Start by running /evolve on your codebase to initiate the AUDIT phase and measure current debt.

FAQPage Schema
How do I measure technical debt in a legacy Python codebase?

To measure technical debt in a Python codebase, initiate an audit phase to analyze code complexity and profile current structural issues. This establishes a baseline to guide your modernization strategy.

What is the best way to refactor a working codebase to production-grade standards?

Refactoring code to production-grade standards requires a multi-phase workflow: auditing debt, designing a strategy, executing safe transformations, and hardening the system. This enforces quality constraints throughout the process.

Can I use automated code modernization workflows as a solo developer?

Yes, automated code modernization is designed with a solo-developer friendly approach for small teams. It transforms codebases through safety checkpoints across multiple execution phases.

How do you safely execute structural improvements during code maintenance?

To safely execute structural improvements during code maintenance, apply multi-phase execution with safety checkpoints. This ensures transformations maintain system stability while reducing accumulated technical debt.

What analytical tools are needed to modernize code and reduce technical debt?

Modernizing code to reduce technical debt requires analytical tools for measuring complexity, profiling, and design analysis. These tools integrate with the workflow to assess the baseline and guide refactoring.

When should I not use an automated modernization workflow for code maintenance?

You should avoid automated modernization workflows if your codebase lacks a defined baseline or cannot integrate with required analytical tools. A clear baseline is necessary to measure debt and design safe transformations.
