title: "ai-fication-kit: a methodology for making legacy codebases AI-native and trustworthy through scaffolded, human-verified context"
abstract: >-
  ai-fication-kit scaffolds a provenance-tracked repository-intelligence layer
  (maps, feature catalogs, conventions, decision records) into any legacy
  codebase, then guides an AI coding agent through a bootstrapping pass whose
  every claim is tagged [inferred] until a human audits it to [verified].
  Deterministic observation (the orient step) is strictly separated from model
  inference (the cold-start step), and a verification workflow keeps the
  generated knowledge mechanically honest against the code.
