In an approach to generating natural language rules based on detected code snippets, one or more computer processors detect a code snippet. The one or more computer processors extract code information from the detected code snippet. The one or more computer processors feed the extracted code information into a cognitive model, wherein the cognitive model utilizes one or more historical code snippets based on the extracted code information and one or more natural language rules based on the extracted code information. The one or more computer processors generate, based on one or more calculations by the cognitive model, a natural language rule for the code snippet.
