Loop/Prompt Library / Build and ship it yourself

๐Ÿ’ฌ AI prompt: Make sense of old or undocumented software

We depend on an old program and nobody knows how it works.

Copy this prompt

Here is [code/file samples] from an old system we own: [details]. Explain what it does in plain English: main parts, inputs, outputs, and anything risky. Write tests or examples that capture current behavior. Don't modify the original files. Stop after the explanation and tests.

How to use it

  1. Open Claude (or Claude Code in your project folder).
  2. Paste the prompt and fill in every [bracket].
  3. Read what it changed or wrote before you keep it.

Not medical, legal or financial advice. The AI drafts; you decide and you press send.
