All questions
Can prompts help with codebase migrations?
Yes—ask for a migration plan with dependency graph, risks, and phased steps. Provide current and target frameworks, constraints, and tests. Have the model propose automated codemods and identify modules with highest break risk. Always run in small batches with tests.
In practice
Request a compatibility matrix of APIs before touching code.
Where to start
- 1Generate a migration RFC with milestones.
- 2Create codemod scripts from model suggestions.
- 3Run pilot on a small module and measure fallout.
- 4Scale and monitor test coverage.
