Retrofit-design helps teams convert existing code into formal design documentation to improve understanding, governance, and future maintenance.
Run the retrofit-design skill with a feature path (e.g., auth/login) to generate a design document from the existing implementation.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To turn existing code into design documentation, ingest the current implementation alongside the feature spec, ADRs, and planning notes to synthesize a cohesive design draft capturing architecture and data flows.
Retrofit design is the process of reading an existing codebase and feature specs to produce formal design documents. You need it to improve codebase understanding, governance, and future maintenance for undocumented features.
Generate a design document by running the skill with a feature path argument, which ingests the spec at docs/feature-specs/ and the codebase, then delivers the synthesized design to docs/feature-designs/.
Yes, retrofit design works with existing ADRs and planning notes by ingesting them alongside the codebase to ensure the produced design document aligns with project governance and delivery goals.
Yes, you can refine a generated design document through iterative user feedback. The skill also automatically surfaces design decisions that require ADR or DES creation for further documentation.
