Methodological guide for the AI Agent to safely and systematically translate, refactor, and modernize giant legacy codebases (PHP, Python 2, old React) into modern stacks.
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
# Legacy Code Translator (Strangler Fig & Refactoring Engine) [English](#english) | [Bahasa Indonesia](#bahasa-indonesia) --- <a name="english"></a> ## English ### Description A systematic, risk-mitigated engineering methodology for migrating large, business-critical legacy codebases (PHP 5/7, Python 2, jQuery, old React Class Components, AngularJS) to modern 2026 enterprise stacks (Next.js 15, TypeScript 5.8+, Bun, Rust, Go) without business downtime or regression. Employs the Strangler Fig pattern, Shadow Execution Harnesses, and AST-driven module decomposition to prevent context exhaustion and hallucinated logic. ### Trigger Conditions - Large-scale framework migrations (e.g., PHP monolith -> Next.js + Bun/Hono microservices). - Translating legacy scripts across languages (e.g., Python 2/3 CPU-bound routines -> Rust/Go). - Refactoring sprawling React Class components (>1,000 lines) into modern hooks and Server Components. - Decoupling legacy database queries from direct presentation templates. ### The 4-Phase Strangler Migration Protocol ``` ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 1.

How to install
mdr add roedyrustam/vibes-plug/legacy-code-translator@sha256:b39b4a45aa8fa4bcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v4.3.0, 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.
