1. Modernization Strategy (Strangler Fig)

Identify Borders: Find clear service or module boundaries to extract.
Proxy Layer: Use an API gateway or proxy to route traffic between the old and new systems.
Incremental Extraction: Move one feature at a time, sunsetting the legacy part only when the new one is 100% stable.

2. Dependency & Version Upgrades

Asset Audit: Inventory all outdated 3rd-party libraries.
Breaking Changes: Review changelogs for major version jumps.
Step-by-Step Upgrade: Move through intermediate versions (e.g., v1 -> v2 -> v3) instead of one giant leap.

3. Code Migration & Refactoring

Automated Refactoring: Use tools like putout or jscodeshift for mass renames or syntax updates.
Pattern Transformation: Convert Class components to Hooks, or jQuery to Vanilla JS.
Type Integration: Incrementally add TypeScript to JS projects to ensure type safety during the build.

4. Framework Transitions

Angular-to-React/Vue: Map component logic and state management.
Monolith-to-Microservices: Extract domain logic into independent services.
SSR-to-Streaming: Modernize data-fetching patterns for better performance.

5. Validation & Backward Compatibility

Visual Testing: Use visual regression tools to ensure the UI looks identical after refactoring.
Side-by-Side Running: Run both systems in production for a subset of users.
Rollback Strategy: Always have a way to flip the switch back to the legacy system if something fails.

🛠️ Execution Protocol

Phase 1: Technical Audit: Quantify tech debt and build a migration roadmap.
Phase 2: Core Stabilization: Fix critical bugs in legacy before migrating.
Phase 4: Extraction: Build the new version using modern Master Skills (e.g., modern-web-architect).
Phase 5: Shadow Testing: Compare outputs of legacy vs. modern.
Phase 6: Full Cutover: Switch all traffic and delete legacy source code.

Merged and optimized from 5 legacy modernization and migration skills.
