audit-and-migrate

Migrate technical debt safely by using an evidence-driven framework with distinct Audit, Migrate, and Closeout phases. This systematic approach enforces invariants via CI ratchets and prevents vestigial code through strict deletion policies during large refactors.

CI ratchets are automated checks that enforce migration invariants by preventing regression. They ensure replaced code is deleted and verify migration completion through a defined ship gate, maintaining anti-vestigial discipline throughout the technical debt reduction process.

You need a systematic code audit framework when tasked with large refactors, codebase consolidation, or tech debt reduction. It prevents common agent failures like drift, vestigial code, and false finishes by providing a controlled, evidence-driven migration process.

Prevent vestigial code during consolidation by enforcing strict deletion policies through anti-vestigial discipline. This ensures replaced code is deleted rather than left behind, preventing codebase bloat and maintaining clean migration boundaries.

Yes, this migration methodology works for large refactors with no external dependencies. It implements an advanced systematic framework using scripts and references to guide evidence-driven codebase consolidation and technical debt reduction through verifiable phases.
