doc-and-modernize
From the author
Two related workflows for a locally-cloned codebase, in one skill. Documentation mode produces a single, comprehensive, verifiable architecture document primarily by reading files on disk (local-first) — use it whenever the user wants to understand, map, document, research, or onboard onto a codebase ("research this repo", "write up the architecture", "do an architecture deep dive", "document how this codebase works", "map the system design", "create an onboarding doc"). Modernization mode generates a phased plan to modernize, migrate, upgrade, or rewrite a legacy system ("modernize this", "plan the migration", "how would we rewrite this", "how do we get off this legacy stack"); if no architecture document exists yet it first runs Documentation mode, then continues straight through to the plan. It assumes the legacy stack may be dead, runs a time-boxed feasibility spike, and picks the highest achievable rung on a safety ladder instead of demanding a fully-green legacy CI gate up front.

- legacy-modernizerJeffallan/claude-skillsDesigns incremental migration strategies, identifies service boundaries, produces dependency maps and migration roadmaps, and generates API facade designs for aging codebases. Use when modernizing legacy systems, implementing strangler fig pattern or branch by abstraction, decomposing monoliths, upgrading frameworks or languages, or reducing technical debt without disrupting business operations.Engineering★ 12K
- doc-coauthoringanthropics/skillsGuide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.OfficialWriting★ 182.6K
- react-modernizationwshobson/agentsUpgrade React applications to latest versions, migrate from class components to hooks, and adopt concurrent features. Use when modernizing React codebases, migrating to React Hooks, or upgrading to latest React versions.Engineering★ 41.4K
- scanwshobson/agentsScans the codebase to generate project-doc.md and AGENTS.md. Use when bootstrapping a new agent-driven repo, refreshing project documentation after architectural changes, or running a delta scan to detect drift. Runs a full scan on first use and a smart delta scan on subsequent runs. Uses understand-anything + context-mode when available, falls back to native tools otherwise. Only updates AGENTS.md on detected architectural changes with human confirmation.Planning★ 41.4K
