SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns Reversa-generated specifications into an executable, audit-defensible reconstruction plan that you can run step-by-step without losing context.

Core Features & Use Cases

Bottom-up reconstruction planning: Converts Reversa SDDs into an ordered task list with explicit readiness criteria.
Migration-aware rebuilding: Supports rebuilding from either original specs or migration specs, with interactive source selection.
Token-preserving execution: Executes tasks one at a time and reads only the files required by the plan’s declared Reads list.

Quick Start

Run /reversa-reconstructor in the project directory after you have Reversa output copied into _reversa_sdd/.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate an executable reconstruction plan from software design specifications?▼

To generate a reconstruction plan from specifications, you need a tool that converts SDDs into an ordered task list with explicit readiness criteria. This Skill processes Reversa specs in the `_reversa_sdd/` directory to create an audit-defensible, bottom-up reconstruction plan.

How do I rebuild a legacy application bottom-up from its original specs without losing context?▼

Rebuilding a legacy application bottom-up requires executing reconstruction tasks sequentially based on declared file dependencies. This Skill executes tasks one at a time, reading only the files specified in each task's Reads list to preserve token context and maintain auditability.

Can I use a reconstruction plan for migrating legacy applications based on migration specs?▼

Yes, migration-aware rebuilding supports both original specs and migration specs. The Skill provides interactive source selection to handle migration state, allowing you to create or continue an existing reconstruction plan from either specification type.

What prerequisites do I need to start bottom-up reconstruction planning in my project?▼

Bottom-up reconstruction planning requires Reversa output copied into the `_reversa_sdd/` directory. You must verify these SDD prerequisites exist before selecting a reconstruction source and generating the `_reversa_sdd/reconstruction-plan.md` file.

What is the best way to ensure auditability during a legacy codebase reconstruction?▼

Auditability during legacy codebase reconstruction is ensured by executing tasks strictly based on each task's declared Reads list. This token-preserving approach generates a step-by-step, audit-defensible plan that tracks exactly which files are accessed during the rebuild.

Why does my reconstruction task execution fail when trying to continue an existing migration plan?▼

Reconstruction task execution requires verifying `_reversa_sdd/` prerequisites and a valid `reconstruction-plan.md`. If the migration state is incomplete or the declared Reads list references missing files, the sequential execution will halt to preserve token context and auditability.
