reverse-document

To generate design documentation from existing code, you can scan codebases or prototypes to automatically produce formal design docs and architecture decision records. This process analyzes scattered implementation details to create structured planning artifacts for collaboration.

The best way to create ADRs for a legacy codebase with missing planning docs is to reverse-engineer the architecture by scanning the existing implementation. This automatically extracts design decisions and concepts to output formal ADRs suitable for version control.

Yes, you can use code analysis to produce a GDD for prototyped features. By scanning the prototype implementation, the system reverse-engineers the code structure and logic to generate formal Game Design Documents and concept notes for retrospectives.

Reverse-engineering documentation for onboarding works by scanning existing code to extract architectural patterns and design concepts. It transforms scattered knowledge into structured ADRs and design docs, helping new team members understand the system architecture without manual writing.

Automating architecture documentation from code relies entirely on the existing implementation structure and comments. It cannot infer external business requirements or undocumented future planning contexts, limiting its output to the architectural decisions actually embedded in the current codebase.
