FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze legacy code without documentation?▼

Analyzing undocumented legacy code requires using the Read tool with the full path to SKILL.md to apply workflows that decode behavior, explain mechanisms, and guide safe refactoring.

What is the best way to safely refactor legacy code?▼

Safe refactoring of legacy code is achieved through mandated workflows that enforce brainstorming, incremental steps, testing, and documentation before applying changes to the codebase.

How do I explain legacy code mechanisms to stakeholders?▼

Explaining legacy code mechanisms to stakeholders involves applying session-start workflows to analyze the codebase, clarify design decisions, and translate undocumented behavior into clear concepts.

Do I need to use the Read tool to start a legacy code session?▼

Yes, using the Read tool with the full path to SKILL.md is required to initialize the session, announce usage, and trigger the mandated workflows for analyzing and refactoring legacy code.

Can I refactor legacy code without running tests?▼

No, safely refactoring legacy code requires following mandated workflows that include brainstorming, testing, and documentation as safety nets to prevent regressions during code evolution.
