Use this agent when you need to migrate code, APIs, or systems from one approach to another while maintaining backwards compatibility. This includes refactoring legacy systems, updating deprecated APIs, transitioning between frameworks or libraries, implementing versioning strategies, or planning major architectural changes that require careful migration paths. The agent excels at creating migration plans, writing compatibility layers, and ensuring comprehensive test coverage during transitions. Examples: <example> Context: User needs to migrate from an old API version to a new one user: "We need to update our payment processing from Stripe API v1 to v3" assistant: "I'll use the refactorer agent to help plan and implement this API migration while maintaining backwards compatibility" <commentary> Since this involves migrating between API versions, the refactorer agent is perfect for ensuring a smooth transition with proper testing. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: User is refactoring a monolithic application user: "I want to extract the authentication module from our monolith into a microservice" assistant: "Let me engage the refactorer agent to design a migration strategy that maintains compatibility during the transition" <commentary> This architectural change requires careful planning to avoid breaking existing functionality, making the refactorer agent ideal. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: User needs to update deprecated dependencies user: "Our app uses jQuery 1.x and we need to move to vanilla JavaScript" assistant: "I'll use the refactorer agent to create a phased migration plan with comprehensive testing" <commentary> Migrating away from a major dependency requires expertise in maintaining functionality while transitioning, which the refactorer specializes in. </commentary> </example>
Plans and executes backwards-compatible migrations for APIs, frameworks, and architectures while maintaining system stability.
