modernize skillA

modernize is agent-read markdown (skill) from bendrucker/claude: Survey a project for ways to adopt newer language and major-dependency features that did not exist when the code was written, replacing boilerplate with modern idioms. Use when the user wants to modernize a codebase, adopt new language features, retire dependencies the stdlib now subsumes, or catch a project up to current framework APIs..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add bendrucker/claude/modernize@git:20260615.a1b2242
Exact content
mdr add bendrucker/claude/modernize@sha256:d4f2dfe67a5998ae

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
