migrate-legacy skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 4 copies on public GitHub. Same content hash, same audit grade.

migrate-legacy is agent-read markdown (skill) from phmatray/tagout: Use when upgrading, migrating, or modernizing a legacy application — outdated target framework, out-of-support runtime, obsolete APIs, old packages, or legacy idioms.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. Drives a seven-phase, gate-verified pipeline (assessment → verified production) in w.

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.

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`.
