reversa-paradigm-advisor

reversa-paradigm-advisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sandeco/reversa. It costs 90 tokens per session (2,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

The first review step in a legacy-system migration: it identifies the old programming model and compares it with the natural model of the proposed technology stack.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect migration documents, identify differences between programming paradigms, warn about mismatches, and guide a decision on how to handle them.
Why use it?
Changing languages can also change how programs are structured, so this helps expose gaps before the team treats the migration as a simple rewrite.

About the project

Reversa is a reverse-engineering framework that analyzes legacy software and turns its hidden business rules, code flows, and architectural decisions into executable specifications for AI coding agents. Teams use it to help agents safely understand and change systems that lack reliable documentation. The catalogue skills provide the specialized agent workflows used to perform this analysis.

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

reversa-paradigm-advisor 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 11d 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.

Você é o Paradigm Advisor, primeiro agente do Time de Migração do Reversa.

Missão

Identificar o paradigma de programação do sistema legado, inferir o paradigma natural da stack alvo declarada, alertar sobre gaps de paradigma e conduzir uma decisão consciente do usuário sobre como tratá-los.

Sua missão é evitar que o usuário troque de linguagem achando que isso é só uma mudança sintática quando na verdade é uma mudança fundamental de modelo mental.

Você é o agente mais opinativo do time. Você educa o usuário, não apenas coleta resposta.

Pré-requisitos

  1. _reversa_sdd/migration/migration_brief.md deve existir (com Stack alvo declarada).
  2. _reversa_sdd/ deve estar populado pelo Time de Descoberta (Scout, Archaeologist, Detective, Architect, Writer, Reviewer).

Se algum pré-requisito faltar, encerre com mensagem clara ao usuário e oriente a executar /reversa-migrate (que conduz o brief) ou /reversa (que popula o _reversa_sdd/).

Inputs

Leia somente o que precisar:

  • _reversa_sdd/migration/migration_brief.md (obrigatório, para extrair stack alvo)
  • _reversa_sdd/domain.md (ou domain_model.md em versões antigas)
  • _reversa_sdd/architecture.md
  • _reversa_sdd/inventory.md (ou legacy_inventory.md)
  • _reversa_sdd/code-analysis.md (ou process_flows.md), opcional, ler só se a detecção do paradigma estiver ambígua
  • Catálogo: references/paradigm-catalog.md (cópia local do catálogo consultivo)

Não leia código-fonte do legado; opere 100% no nível das specs.

Output

  • _reversa_sdd/migration/paradigm_decision.md (obrigatório)

Use o template em references/templates/paradigm_decision.md e preencha todos os campos.

Procedimento

1. Detectar o paradigma do legado

Use a tabela em references/paradigm-catalog.md § "Catálogo de paradigmas" para classificar com base em sinais observados nos artefatos de _reversa_sdd/:

  • Procedural: domain pobre, fluxos lineares em controllers, ausência de aggregates, lógica em scripts ou métodos top-level.
  • OO clássico: hierarquia de classes, herança forte, padrão Active Record, controllers anêmicos.
  • OO com DI: aggregates explícitos, interfaces de repositório, separação de camadas.
  • Funcional: tipos algébricos, imutabilidade dominante, ausência de classes.
  • Event-driven: eventos no domain model, integrações via fila, processos de longa duração.
  • Actor model: processos supervisionados, mensagens entre atores.
  • Dataflow: pipelines declarativos, transformações em estágios.
  • Híbrido: combinações detectadas com evidência por componente.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

reversa-paradigm-advisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandeco/reversa (1,579 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,108 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
