Is It Possible to Create an SDD from an Existing UiPath Project Automatically and Vice versa?

Need Help on reverse engineering UiPath Workflow → SDD & Generating Workflow from SDD

Hi Team,

I’m exploring whether it is possible to perform reverse engineering on UiPath solutions. Specifically, I am looking for:

1. Generating an SDD from an existing UiPath workflow or project

  • Extracting logic, business rules, variables, arguments, and workflow structure
  • Automatically generating or assisting in creating an SDD document
  • Any existing UiPath tools (Studio features, extensions, Task Capture, Marketplace components, etc.) that help with this

2. Doing the reverse: Generating a UiPath workflow or code from an SDD

  • Whether UiPath or any AI‑based tools can read an SDD and auto‑generate a workflow skeleton
  • Any recommended approach, best practices, or community tools that support this

Goal:

I want to streamline documentation and development by using automation for both SDD creation and workflow generation.

If anyone has experience, best practices, or tool suggestions, I would really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks!

Hi @shailesh.b.yadav

UiPath has no native way to auto-generate an SDD from workflows or create workflows from an SDD. The practical approach is semi-automation: parse XAML to extract structure and use AI to generate an SDD draft, and use AI again to generate a workflow skeleton from the SDD, then refine manually.

Generation sdd from workflow is not available at all

from sdd to workflow ..partially you can do via autopilot in studio..

break sdd into workflows and give the instructions to auto pilot along with object repo..then 40 to 50% can be generated

cheers

I would suggest, not a good idea. Even if you find an AI solution to this, you would be spending double the time to verify it whatever generated is accurate or not.

A good BA or person with attention to details should be the right choice for this task.

Cheers!
