papi-sdlc-assimilate

Onboard legacy projects into a standardized SDLC workflow by assimilating existing artefacts through a template-driven approach. This process captures dependencies and component hierarchies, producing skeletons and full specs to accelerate alignment with governance principles.

Mapping existing code and documentation into PAPI specifications uses a codebase-assimilation-template to establish the initial component hierarchy. It discovers components, identifies spec gaps, and generates full specifications to bring legacy work under governance.

Incremental migration of existing project artefacts is supported alongside full-onboarding paths. You can apply the assimilation workflow to re-scope work gradually, aligning existing projects with PAPI SDLC processes without requiring immediate total transformation.

Assimilating legacy projects does not require existing PAPI component specifications. The process is specifically designed for artefacts that lack PAPI specifications, enforcing a template-driven approach to discover gaps and produce the necessary skeletons.

Identify spec gaps when rescoping existing project environments by applying the assimilation template. It discovers and maps components alongside dependencies within your code, docs, and environments, highlighting areas lacking PAPI specifications for alignment.

Template-driven assimilation for legacy codebases primarily targets artefacts lacking PAPI specifications during onboarding or rescoping. It enforces standardized governance but relies on the codebase-assimilation-template, meaning highly fragmented environments may require manual gap mapping.
