description	Use this skill for modernization assessments, migration planning, multi-phase modernization execution, quality-gate enforcement, and retrospective process improvement in repositories that follow the modernize workflow.

Modernize

Use this skill when the user wants Codex to assess, plan, execute, or retrospect on a modernization effort.

Start Here

1. Read AGENTS.md first for testing, logging, and documentation rules.
2. Use the lifecycle in references/lifecycle.md.
3. Use references/source-map.md for the canonical protocol and script sources.
4. Preserve the repo's quality gates; do not weaken them during migration.

Operating Rules

• Follow the lifecycle: assess -> plan -> execute -> retro -> apply improvements.
• Keep specialist separation: coordinator, security, architect, coder, tester, documentation.
• Use repo scripts for dependency analysis, stage testing, validation, and history logging.
• Treat AGENTS.md as the primary configuration source; use CLAUDE.md only as legacy fallback.

When To Read More

• For workflow sequencing: references/lifecycle.md
• For source mapping and quality gates: references/source-map.md
