Using AI to reverse-engineer years of user stories from a Salesforce org

I had the idea of using AI to reverse engineer years worth of user stories from the code / metadata / documentation of a Salesforce org. Ryan McCloskey, as he so often does, took that idea and systematized / ran with it.

It will require some human refinement, but thanks to Ryan plus Cursor, we now have a CSV full of "As role X, I need Y so that Z" and every one I've read so far makes perfect sense and traces back to a legit business requirement.

Doing that from scratch would have been a slog, and prone to missing those little solutions added years ago by a contractor based on a phone call upon which critical business operations rely.
