Structured workflow (assess → map → extract-rules → reimagine → transform → harden) and specialist agents (legacy-analyst, business-rules-extractor, architecture-critic, security-auditor, test-engineer) for modernizing legacy codebases into current stacks.

| Generate a phased Modernization Brief — the approved plan that transformation agents will execute against | <system-dir> [target-stack] |
Synthesize everything in analysis/$1/ into a Modernization Brief — the
single document a steering committee approves and engineering executes.
Target stack: $2 (if blank, recommend one based on the assessment findings).
Read analysis/$1/ASSESSMENT.md, TOPOLOGY.md, and BUSINESS_RULES.md first.
If any are missing, say so and stop.
The Brief
Write analysis/$1/MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md:
1. Objective
One paragraph: from what, to what, why now.
2. Target Architecture
Mermaid C4 Container diagram of the end state. Name every service, data store, and integration. Below it, a table mapping legacy component → target component(s).
3. Phased Sequence
Break the work into 3-6 phases using strangler-fig ordering — lowest-risk, fewest-dependencies first. For each phase:
- Scope (which legacy modules, which target services)
- Entry criteria (what must be true to start)
- Exit criteria (what tests/metrics prove it's done)
- Estimated effort (person-weeks, derived from COCOMO + complexity data)
- Risk level + top 2 risks + mitigation
Render the phases as a Mermaid gantt chart.
4. Behavior Contract
List the P0 behaviors from BUSINESS_RULES.md that MUST be proven equivalent before any phase ships. These become the regression suite.
5. Validation Strategy
State which combination applies: characterization tests, contract tests, parallel-run / dual-execution diff, property-based tests, manual UAT. Justify per phase.
6. Open Questions
Anything requiring human/SME decision before Phase 1 starts. Each as a checkbox the approver must tick.
7. Approval Block
Approved by: ________________ Date: __________
Approval covers: Phase 1 only | Full plan
Present
Enter plan mode and present a summary of the brief. Do NOT proceed to any transformation until the user explicitly approves. This gate is the human-in-the-loop control point.
