#legacycode

One surprisingly simple thing against legacy code: preserve the “why” while you’re already discussing it.
I turned the workflow I’ve been using with AI coding agents into a free and open-source skill:
Keep the Why.
It captures rationale during development, helps recover context from existing codebases, and supports knowledge-transfer interviews.
Because “ask Bob” is not documentation.
