Behavior Reconstruction
Independent PiSkill directory guide. The original prompt remains hosted by Microsoft PromptKit.
What does this prompt do?
Reconstructs actual software behavior from code paths, tests, logs, data, and interfaces when documentation is incomplete or a regression's expected state is unclear.
Primary use case
Determine what unfamiliar software actually does before changing it.
Expected output
An evidence-linked behavioral model and unresolved gaps.
Inputs or variables
- codebase
- runtime evidence
- known scenarios
