reverse-engineer-strategies

You can generate architecture documentation for a Kotlin Spring Boot project by analyzing the codebase to identify domain, application, storage, external, and app layers, then automatically outputting per-layer convention docs and README files that reflect actual implementation patterns.

Reverse-engineering codebase strategies for a legacy Spring Boot backend involves reading existing code to extract architectural patterns and class names, then automatically generating standardized strategies documentation that aligns with the actual codebase implementation.

Yes, you can merge newly generated strategies documentation with existing docs in your backend project. The analysis process can update and standardize existing files or create new docs for newly identified layers while preserving current content.

No specific dependencies are required to generate Spring Boot convention docs. The tool operates by reading the existing Kotlin and Spring Boot code directly and referencing internal templates to produce the architecture documentation.

Generated per-layer architecture strategies and README files should be output or updated under the docs/backend/architecture/ directory path within your project structure to maintain standard documentation organization.

When analyzing a Kotlin backend codebase, the tool identifies domain, application, storage, external, and app architectural layers, extracting actual class names and implementation patterns to produce accurate per-layer convention documentation.
