# Code (Repository to Requirement)

The **Code** option within the Intelligence Hub allows you to generate structured **Epics, Features, and User Stories** directly from your application's source code. This feature analyzes your connected repository to derive functional requirements, eliminating the need to manually document existing application functionality.

#### When to Use Code-Based Requirement Extraction

Use this option when your application's functionality is already available in a connected source code repository. WalnutAI analyzes the repository and automatically generates structured **Epics, Features, and User Stories**, making it easy to document existing applications, legacy systems, or projects with limited functional documentation.

* **Existing Connection:** If a repository was configured during project setup ([GitHub](/getting-started/projects/create-a-new-project/external-data-and-connections/how-to-integrate-github-with-walnutai.md), [GitLab](/getting-started/projects/create-a-new-project/external-data-and-connections/how-to-integrate-gitlab-with-walnutai.md), [Bitbucket](/getting-started/projects/create-a-new-project/external-data-and-connections/how-to-integrate-bitbucket-with-walnutai.md), [Azure Repos](/getting-started/projects/create-a-new-project/external-data-and-connections/how-to-integrate-azure-repos-with-walnutai.md), or [AWS CodeCommit](/getting-started/projects/create-a-new-project/external-data-and-connections/how-to-integrate-aws-codecommit-with-walnutai.md)), it will automatically appear under the **Code** option in the Intelligence Hub.
* **Open the Code Repository:** Click the **Code** icon in the Intelligence Hub to view the list of available repositories.
