Before any change

Code Situationship Analysis

Change, rewrite, refactor, or replace—you need to know the situation first. Skip the analysis and you commit on folklore—scope slips, integrations break, and timelines unravel. EasySpecs reads your codebase and documents what it actually does in days, not weeks of archaeology.

  • Strangling the monolithYour monolith is everyone’s bottleneck—and your teams are afraid to touch it.

    Discovery helps when one deployable owns too much and teams are afraid to touch it.

    Monolith → microservices

  • Mainframe successionYour COBOL experts are retiring and payroll still runs on the batch core.

    Discovery helps when COBOL experts are retiring and the batch core still runs the business.

    Documented succession plan

  • Language or runtime changeYou have to move off a dying language—and nobody can trace what the old code actually does.

    Discovery helps when you must replatform to a new language but behavior only lives in a few engineers’ heads.

    Legacy language → target stack

  • Stack modernizationYour framework and runtime are end-of-life—upgrades feel blocked by undocumented coupling.

    Discovery helps when EOL frameworks or runtimes block security patches and hiring, but upgrading blind feels too risky.

    EOL stack → supported platform

  • Vibe-coded prototypeThe AI demo wowed leadership—it breaks with real users and you own the cleanup.

    Discovery helps when AI shipped a demo fast—it breaks under real users and nobody trusts the code.

    Prototype → production rebuild

Generated documentation of modules, flows, and observed behavior

Getting started

Start discovery

From sign-in to migration clarity in four steps.

  1. Sign in

    Use your EasySpecs account to open projects and the web app.

  2. Connect your legacy repository

    Cursor · VS Code · code-insiders

    Install the EasySpecs extension, point it at the legacy codebase, and run analysis so discovery starts from the real system.

    Install the EasySpecs extension from your editor's extensions marketplace, point it at the legacy codebase, and run analysis. No terminal one-liner is shown here.

  3. Review generated documentation

    Open the technical map in the browser—modules, integrations, and behavior your architects and leads can align on.

  4. Inform your migration decision

    Use documented scope and complexity to choose rewrite, refactor, or replace—and build estimates from evidence, not guesswork.

Product

What is EasySpecs?

AI-assisted discovery for legacy systems—so migration choices rest on what the code actually does, not folklore.

EasySpecs documents observed behavior from your legacy codebase so architects and transformation leads get a shared technical map in the browser—scope, edge cases, and complexity surfaced early so your team can choose a migration path from knowledge, not hope.

Use cases

Sound familiar?

Pick the role that matches you—the product meets you at the same discovery step, then supports the decision you need to make.

  • CTO / transformation lead

    Choose rewrite, refactor, or replace

    You’re here if the board is asking which path to take and you cannot defend the answer yet.

    Compare migration strategies once behavior is documented—not while your best engineers are still doing code archaeology.

  • Program / delivery lead

    Scope the migration honestly

    You’re here if roadmaps and RFPs need real modules, integrations, and edge cases—not optimistic guesses.

    Surface complexity from the repository so timelines and vendor questions reflect what is actually in the code.

  • SI or platform partner

    Onboard squads without months of interviews

    You’re here if integrators or internal teams must ramp on a system they did not build.

    Share a technical map in the browser so everyone works from the same documented behavior.

  • Sponsor / finance

    De-risk modernization estimates

    You’re here if budget holders need effort bands they can trust before approving the program.

    Ground estimates in documented behavior and complexity instead of spreadsheets built on hope.

How it works

From legacy codebase to migration clarity

Four steps that turn code archaeology into documentation your team can decide from.

Connect the legacy codebase

Where the system lives

Add the EasySpecs extension to VS Code, Cursor, or similar editors—point it at the legacy repository and run analysis on the real system. When you’re ready, send that context to your EasySpecs workspace so discovery outputs appear in the web app.

AI agents document actual behavior

From source, not slides

AI agents read your legacy codebase and produce technical documentation—observed behavior, not slides or stale wiki pages.

Review and refine with your team

Architects, leads, engineers

Your architects and leads validate findings in the browser workspace—fill gaps, reconcile edge cases, and align on documented scope before anyone commits to a migration path.

Decide and plan the migration

Evidence for the fork

Use the technical map for cutover planning, incremental refactor, or build-vs-buy decisions—grounded in what the code actually does today.
