How does it detect breaking changes?

The skill scans your source code for deprecated API usage, property signature changes, and module resolution issues based on the specific migration guides of the target technology.

Is it safe to run automated migrations on large repositories?

Yes, the skill follows a strict safety protocol that includes auditing the current version, running tests before and after changes, and providing a clear rollback plan.

What tools does the Migration Assistant use?

It utilizes industry-standard tools like jscodeshift for AST transformations, ts-morph for breaking change detection, and Bash for automated task execution.

Can this skill handle React 18 migrations?

Yes, it specializes in React version transitions, including updating root APIs, converting class components to functional components, and updating TypeScript types.

Can I use it for build tool migrations?

Absolutely. It can help transition your project from legacy tools like Webpack to modern alternatives like Vite, handling both config files and import syntax changes.

Developer Tools

Automates code migrations, dependency upgrades, and breaking change refactoring to keep modern codebases maintainable.

About

Migration Assistant is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline complex software transitions, from major framework upgrades like React 18 to library swaps such as Webpack to Vite. It leverages automated codemods, AST transformations, and pattern recognition to identify breaking changes, handle deprecation warnings, and apply safe refactoring across large codebases. This skill is ideal for engineering teams looking to reduce technical debt, minimize manual upgrade errors, and maintain high code quality during version transitions.

Key Features

1 GitHub stars
Breaking Change Detection: Scans codebases to identify usage of deprecated APIs and incompatible property changes.
Pattern Migration: Facilitates architectural shifts such as migrating from Class components to Hooks or Redux to Zustand.
Safety & Rollbacks: Generates comprehensive migration checklists and ensures transformations can be reverted if tests fail.
Framework Upgrades: Manages major version transitions including root API updates and functional component conversions.
Automated Codemods: Executes AST-based transformations using jscodeshift for safe, large-scale refactoring.

Use Cases

Migrating build systems from Webpack to Vite with automated configuration and module resolution updates.
Upgrading legacy React applications to the latest version while addressing all breaking changes and deprecated APIs.
Executing large-scale codebase refactoring during library swaps or state management transitions.
