legacy

legacy is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from MN-Lizard-Team/aiyu-multi-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (461 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A legacy-code analysis command for understanding old, messy, or poorly documented software. It maps dependencies and changes, identifies risks, and plans safer modernisation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate undocumented code, trace dependencies, find global state or circular references, and plan refactoring or other modernisation work.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand an existing system before changing it, reducing the chance of breaking hidden behaviour or overlooking shared state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

legacy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/legacy

Analyze legacy code, understand undocumented systems, and plan modernization. Used for refactoring brownfield code, reverse engineering, and technical archaeology.


⚠️ CURSOR OUTPUT CONTRACT

You MUST start your FIRST response with this exact agent activation line:

🤖 **Active Agent: `code-archaeologist`** | Skills: `clean-code, refactoring-patterns, code-review-checklist`

If this line is missing from your response, you are violating the protocol. Add it before any other content.

Required Behavior

  1. Follow the task steps defined below
  2. Apply the Socratic Gate: ask clarifying questions if requirements are unclear
  3. Report completion status at the end

$ARGUMENTS


🤖 Agent Activation

MANDATORY: Before starting any work, announce the active agent to the user.

🤖 **Active Agent: `code-archaeologist`** | Skills: `clean-code, refactoring-patterns, code-review-checklist`

Task

Analyze legacy, messy, or undocumented code. Understand intent, identify risks, and plan safe modernization.

Steps:

  1. Discovery

    • Read target files
    • Map dependencies and mutations
    • Identify global state and circular references
  2. Characterization Testing

    • Capture current output as "Golden Master"
    • Verify test passes on messy code
  3. Analysis Report

    • Estimated age (syntax patterns)
    • Inputs / Outputs / Side effects
    • Risk factors (global state, magic numbers, tight coupling)
  4. Refactoring Plan

    • Extract methods
    • Rename variables
    • Add guard clauses
    • Gradual migration (Strangler Fig pattern)

Usage Examples

/legacy analyze this 500-line function
/legacy refactor jQuery to React
/legacy modernize Python 2 code
/legacy understand this spaghetti codebase
/legacy add types to untyped JavaScript

Caution

  • Never refactor without tests or fallback
  • Use Strangler Fig: wrap, don't rewrite
  • Document every assumption

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

legacy is a command published in the GitHub repository MN-Lizard-Team/aiyu-multi-agent (7 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 461 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
