Brownfield Project Onboarding

Overview

This skill provides a systematic approach to understand and document existing projects. It helps developers quickly get up to speed with unfamiliar codebases by generating comprehensive documentation about the project's structure, architecture, design decisions, identifying areas for improvement, and creating AI agent constitution files (AGENTS.md) that encode project-specific knowledge, coding principles, and UI/UX guidelines for effective AI-assisted development.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when:

  • Starting work on an unfamiliar or inherited codebase
  • Joining a new team or project
  • Conducting a technical audit of an existing system
  • User requests "help me understand this project"
  • Need to document an undocumented or poorly documented project
  • Preparing for a major refactoring or modernization effort
  • Setting up AI agent constitution files for better AI-assisted development
  • Establishing coding principles and standards for a team
  • Creating comprehensive context for AI agents working on the project
