Produces `analysis//ASSESSMENT.md` and `analysis//ARCHITECTURE.mmd`. Spawns `legacy-analyst` (×2) and `security-auditor` in parallel for deep reads.

Writes a re-runnable extraction script and produces `analysis//topology.json` plus `analysis//TOPOLOGY.html` — an **interactive zoomable map** (circle-pack of domains/modules sized by LOC, dependency edges with per-kind toggles, search, click-for-details sidebar, and a walkthrough mode that plays each persona flow as a numbered path with a plain-language narrative). Built from a template shipped with the plugin, so it works on systems far too dense for a static diagram. Small domain-level `call-graph.mmd`, `data-lineage.mmd`, and `critical-path.mmd` are still exported for docs and PRs. - -### `/modernize-extract-rules [module-pattern]` -Mine the business rules embedded in the legacy code — calculations, validations, eligibility, state transitions, policies — into Given/When/Then "Rule Cards" with `file:line` citations and confidence ratings.

Produces `analysis//BUSINESS_RULES.md` and `analysis//DATA_OBJECTS.md`. - -### `/modernize-brief [target-stack]` -Synthesize the discovery artifacts into a phased **Modernization Brief** — the single document a steering committee approves and engineering executes: target architecture, strangler-fig phase plan with entry/exit criteria, persona-based business walkthroughs (the section non-technical approvers actually read), behavior contract, validation strategy, open questions, and an approval block. Reads `ASSESSMENT.md`, `TOPOLOGY.html`, and `BUSINESS_RULES.md` and **stops if any are missing** — run the discovery commands first.

The patch is reviewed by a second `security-auditor` pass before you see it. **Never edits `legacy/`** — you review and apply the patch yourself when ready, then re-run to verify.

Good at spotting implicit dependencies, copybook inheritance, and "JOBOL" patterns (procedural code wearing a modern syntax). Used by `assess` and `reimagine`. -- **`business-rules-extractor`** — Extracts business rules from procedural code with source citations. Each rule includes: what, where it's implemented, which conditions fire it, and any corner cases hidden in data. Used by `extract-rules` and `reimagine`. -- **`architecture-critic`** — Adversarial reviewer for target architectures and transformed code. Default stance is skeptical: asks "do we actually need this?" Flags microservices-for-the-resume, ceremonial error handling, abstractions with one implementation. Used by `reimagine` and `transform`. -- **`security-auditor`** — Reviews code for auth, input validation, secret handling, and dependency CVEs. Tuned for the kinds of issues that appear when translating security primitives across stacks (e.g., session handling from servlet to stateless JWT). Used by `assess` and `harden`. -- **`test-engineer`** — Writes characterization, contract, and equivalence tests that pin legacy behavior so transformation can be proven correct.

Equivalence is proven by running the test suite on both the old and new runtime where both can run here (otherwise it falls back to characterization tests, like `transform`).
