This Skill reverse engineers existing Django codebases by inspecting models, viewsets, and routes to generate architecture documents. It applies code-first precedence over outdated documentation, requiring user confirmation for uncertain elements during structural analysis.

Yes, you can automatically generate Mermaid ER diagrams from Django models. The reverse engineering process extracts model definitions and their relationships directly from the source code, converting them into visual entity-relationship diagrams for existing projects.

The best way to generate OpenAPI specifications from Django REST Framework code is through API reverse engineering. This approach maps DRF viewsets and routes directly into OpenAPI 3.0 documentation, ensuring the spec matches the actual implementation.

Yes, this approach works for reverse engineering a legacy Django REST Framework project by analyzing the existing source code. It handles onboarding legacy apps and rebuilding documentation after code drift by taking code-first precedence over outdated specs.

You map DRF viewsets and routes into OpenAPI 3.0 documentation by inspecting the routing logic and viewset definitions in the codebase. The reverse engineering process requires accurate routing inspection with user confirmation to ensure endpoint mapping accuracy.

If existing documentation contradicts the Django source code, the reverse engineering process applies code-first precedence. It relies on accurate model, viewset, and routing inspection from the actual codebase, making conservative inferences for uncertain elements.
