reverse-engineering

A reverse-engineering dossier combines project documents and indexed source artifacts into a single versioned reference. It helps teams understand and incrementally maintain comprehensive documentation for legacy codebases, microservices, vendor APIs, internal libraries, or data pipelines.

Incrementally update reverse-engineering documentation by bumping minor versions on explicit user save. This process updates only the chapters impacted by the current intent and appends a changelog entry, preserving existing working language and preventing accidental renumbering.

Yes, graphify indexes documents and source artifacts to enable interactive analysis. You can use the resulting knowledge graph for interactive Q&A, relationship tracing, and evidence-driven chapter generation during reverse-engineering.

Reverse-engineering documentation runs a long interactive analysis loop that never writes to the dossier until you issue an explicit save trigger. It enforces strict destination and source guards to prevent accidental indexing or modifications of the output folder.

The best way to maintain documentation for third-party APIs and internal libraries is creating a versioned reverse-engineering dossier. It combines project documents and source indexing into a single progressive reference that you update through reviewable chapter regeneration.
