Comprehension plus a safe first refactor in 1 day8 steps3 tools

What this scenario solves

You inherit undocumented legacy code where one change breaks three things, so nobody dares touch the core logic.

Tool stack

Not the only solution, but a stack we have verified end to end. Each tool links to its full review, including who it is not for.

  1. 01
    Claude CodeAnthropic

    Terminal-based coding agent that can point at any OpenAI-compatible backend

  2. 02
    CursorAnysphere

What you end up with

You get

An architecture map and risk list first, then small refactoring steps, each covered by tests and a revertable commit.
