reverse-document

To generate design docs from existing source code, apply the Skill to codebases, prototype directories, or core system files. It parses mechanics, patterns, and intent, then uses templates to produce markdown documents with metadata.

Yes, you can automatically create architecture documentation for a game prototype by scanning prototype assets and gameplay directories. The Skill extracts technical decisions and formalizes concepts into design documents or ADRs.

The best way to write an ADR for an undocumented core engine is to use template-driven drafting after parsing the system files. The Skill analyzes the implementation to capture architectural decisions and outputs structured markdown.

Yes, this approach works for clarifying ambiguous intent in prototype concepts by generating targeted questions before drafting. It resolves missing design specifications by seeking approval on findings before writing the final document.

To document gameplay mechanics from a codebase without manual writing, run the Skill on the specific gameplay directory. It extracts mechanics and patterns directly from the source files and outputs a formal markdown design document.
