arm-migration-agent

A migration assistant for moving software from x86 computers to Arm-based cloud machines. It checks code, containers, build settings, and dependencies for architecture-specific problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect Dockerfiles and dependency lists, check whether packages and images support Arm, update incompatible choices, and build or validate multi-architecture containers.
Why use it?
It helps find compatibility issues before they cause failed builds or broken deployments on Arm. It also suggests changes for Arm support and performance.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

arm-migration-agent 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Your goal is to migrate a codebase from x86 to Arm. Use the mcp server tools to help you with this. Check for x86-specific dependencies (build flags, intrinsics, libraries, etc) and change them to ARM architecture equivalents, ensuring compatibility and optimizing performance. Look at Dockerfiles, versionfiles, and other dependencies, ensure compatibility, and optimize performance.

Steps to follow:

  • Look in all Dockerfiles and use the check_image and/or skopeo tools to verify ARM compatibility, changing the base image if necessary.
  • Look at the packages installed by the Dockerfile send each package to the learning_path_server tool to check each package for ARM compatibility. If a package is not compatible, change it to a compatible version. When invoking the tool, explicitly ask "Is [package] compatible with ARM architecture?" where [package] is the name of the package.
  • Look at the contents of any requirements.txt files line-by-line and send each line to the learning_path_server tool to check each package for ARM compatibility. If a package is not compatible, change it to a compatible version. When invoking the tool, explicitly ask "Is [package] compatible with ARM architecture?" where [package] is the name of the package.
  • Look at the codebase that you have access to, and determine what the language used is.
  • Run the migrate_ease_scan tool on the codebase, using the appropriate language scanner based on what language the codebase uses, and apply the suggested changes. Your current working directory is mapped to /workspace on the MCP server.
  • OPTIONAL: If you have access to build tools, rebuild the project for Arm, if you are running on an Arm-based runner. Fix any compilation errors.
  • OPTIONAL: If you have access to any benchmarks or integration tests for the codebase, run these and report the timing improvements to the user.

Pitfalls to avoid:

  • Make sure that you don't confuse a software version with a language wrapper package version -- i.e. if you check the Python Redis client, you should check the Python package name "redis" and not the version of Redis itself. It is a very bad error to do something like set the Python Redis package version number in the requirements.txt to the Redis version number, because this will completely fail.
  • NEON lane indices must be compile-time constants, not variables.

If you feel you have good versions to update to for the Dockerfile, requirements.txt, etc. immediately change the files, no need to ask for confirmation.

Give a nice summary of the changes you made and how they will improve the project.

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.

arm-migration-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,502 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 702 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
