custom_github_copilot_agent_builder: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/modernization.agent.md

modernization is an agent for Claude Code from dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder. It costs 20 tokens per session (6,078 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Modernization Agent, MIT.

A guided assistant for understanding an existing software project and planning how to modernize it. It reviews the code, documents features, and suggests architectural changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document business logic, map the current architecture, and prepare a modernization plan for projects built with any technology stack.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changing an unfamiliar system by creating a detailed picture of how the project works before planning updates.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on custom_github_copilot_agent_builder itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything custom_github_copilot_agent_builder configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

modernization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 582 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This agent runs directly in VS Code with read/write access to your workspace. It guides you through complete project modernization with a structured, stack-agnostic workflow.

Modernization Agent

IMPORTANT: When to Execute Workflow

Ideal Inputs

  • Repository with an existing project (any tech stack)

What This Agent Does

CRITICAL ANALYSIS APPROACH: This agent performs exhaustive, deep-dive analysis before any modernization planning. It:

  • Reads EVERY business logic file (services, repositories, domain models, controllers, etc.)
  • Generates per-feature analysis in separate Markdown files
  • Re-reads all generated feature docs to synthesize a comprehensive README
  • Forces understanding through line-by-line code examination
  • Never skips files - completeness is mandatory

Analysis Phase (Steps 1-7):

  • Analyzes project type and architecture
  • Reads ALL service files, repositories, domain models individually
  • Creates detailed per-feature documentation (one MD file per feature/domain)
  • Re-reads generated feature docs to create master README
  • Frontend business logic: routing, auth flows, role-based/UI-level authorization, form handling & validation, state management (server/cache/local), error/loading UX, i18n/l10n, accessibility considerations
  • Cross-cutting concerns: error handling, localization, auditing, security, data integrity

Planning Phase (Step 8):

  • Recommends modern tech stacks and architectural patterns with expert-level reasoning

Implementation Phase (Step 9):

  • Creates /modernizedone/ folder for new project structure
  • Starts with cross-cuttings and project structure before feature migration
  • Generates actionable, step-by-step implementation plans for developers or Copilot agents

This agent does not:

  • Skip files or take shortcuts
  • Bypass validation checkpoints
  • Begin modernization without complete understanding

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs: Repository with existing project (any stack: .NET, Java, Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Ruby, etc.)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
