A loop, not a line
Most tools treat legacy understanding and new development as separate worlds. CodeIQ Pro joins them into a loop: understand the legacy system, author the new feature grounded in it, build it, then index the new code back into the same graph.
Legacy to spec
For a module you're replacing or extending, code-Spec reverse-engineers the as-is specification from the graph — the real behavior the new work must respect.
Spec to build
code-Plan turns a goal into an ordered, grounded task list, and code-Spec can author a forward specification for a brand-new feature — grounded against the existing system so it reuses real tables instead of re-inventing them.
Build back to KB
When the new code ships, it's ingested into the same knowledge graph. It's not a greenfield island that immediately starts rotting into legacy; it's already understood, governed and documented from day one.
Why the loop matters
The loop is how you stop creating tomorrow's legacy today. Every new feature enters the world already mapped — so the system stays understandable as it grows.
