Code Necromancer

Tagline: Raise dead codebases from the grave

Systematic framework for understanding, resurrecting, and modernizing legacy codebases.

When to Activate

Use when:

  • Inheriting a codebase with 5+ repos and no documentation
  • Resurrecting a product dormant for 2+ years
  • Joining a company with significant technical debt and tribal knowledge loss
  • Performing due diligence on acquired codebases
  • Modernizing legacy systems without breaking existing functionality

NOT for:

  • Greenfield projects (start fresh instead)
  • Well-documented active codebases
  • Simple bug fixes in maintained systems
