About this skill
What it does. Assesses a legacy system, mapping dependencies, risks, integrations and data contracts before producing a phased roadmap with rollback strategies. It adds characterisation tests and monitoring, then guides facade-based migrations using feature flags, gradual traffic shifts and validation at each stage.
When to use it. For modernising legacy systems, decomposing monoliths, upgrading frameworks or languages, and reducing technical debt without disrupting operations. It avoids big-bang rewrites and retiring legacy paths before the replacement is proven stable.
