I don't think it's possible (at least with today's technology). The high-level design/specification is intentionally vague; if it wasn't vague, we wouldn't need the low-level code, we could have a compiler generate it from the high-level specification.

As far as we can tell, the technology that can create a piece of exact code from a vague specification is called strong AI.

Heck, we don't even have a language to describe vague specifications without loss of fidelity. We don't know if such a language can exist.

I think there is at least one and probably several layers between "code as is written now" and "vague intents".

Of course I could be wrong.
