Use when upgrading, migrating, or modernizing a legacy application — outdated target framework, out-of-support runtime, obsolete APIs, old packages, or legacy idioms. Triggers on "upgrade this app", "migrate to .NET 10", "modernize this codebase", "this project targets an old framework", « mets à niveau cette app », « migre vers .NET 10 », « modernise ce code legacy », /migrate, /migrate-assess, /migrate-verify.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Migrate a legacy application — the seven-phase pipeline Upgrade a legacy application completely, verifiably, easily, and fast. You are the orchestrator: drive the phases **in order**, never advancing past a red gate. Throughout this skill and its references, **`<kit>`** is the plugin root — resolve it as `<skill-dir>/../..`, where `<skill-dir>` is this skill's base directory (given when the skill loads). Every kit script and template path (`<kit>/scripts/…`, `<kit>/templates/…`) resolves from there — never from the current working directory, which is the *target* repo. ## Phase 0 — Preflight (before anything else) 1. **Run `<kit>/scripts/preflight.sh`** (deterministic; a missing REQUIRED item = stop). The canonical prerequisite list — tools, MCP servers, session skills, each required or recommended, plus the `requiredBy` list where a specific skill hard-requires an entry — lives in **`<kit>/requirements.json`**: the script reads it, nothing is duplicated here. To add or remove a prerequisite, edit THAT file. Re-run with `--json` for the machine version to store in `migration/report.json`. …

How to install
mdr add phmatray/ai-migration-kit/migrate-legacy@sha256:0584da004f7edb2fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.a9bc0b6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
