When your agent uses it
Reverse engineer a detailed product and technical specification document from a git branch's implementation. Use when: (1) a branch has shipped or is in-progress and needs documentation, (2) you need to understand what a branch does at product and architecture level, (3) onboarding to someone else's feature branch, (4) creating PR descriptions or design docs after the fact, (5) user asks to "analyze this branch", "write a spec from the code", or "document what this branch does". Produces a structured markdown spec covering problem statement, product requirements, architecture, technical design, file inventories, testing strategy, rollout plan, and risks.

# Reverse Engineer Spec from Branch Implementation
## Problem
Feature branches often ship without comprehensive documentation. After the fact, teams need
product specs, architectural docs, or onboarding materials that explain what was built and why.
Manually reading every file change is slow and error-prone. This skill systematically extracts
a complete spec from a branch's diff.
## Context / Trigger Conditions
- User asks to "analyze this branch" or "reverse engineer a spec"
- User asks to "document what this branch does"
- User wants a product spec, technical spec, or design doc from existing codeView the complete source on GitHubSkills included
