modernize-status

modernize-status is a command for coding agents from thevibeworks/claude-code-docs. It costs 20 tokens per session (799 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of modernize-status, MIT.

A read-only command that reports the current state of a software modernization project, including its files, freshness, and next step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect preflight checks, assessments, architecture maps, extracted rules, security findings, upgrades, transformations, and rebuilds without modifying them.
Why use it?
It gives you a quick view of which workflow stages are complete and whether expected artifacts or security checks are missing.

Getting it into your agent

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/thevibeworks/claude-code-docs/modernize-status
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/thevibeworks/claude-code-docs

Or install code-modernization, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 10 commands, 8 agents.

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

modernize-status 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to modernize-status — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Report where the modernization of $1 stands, in one screen. This is a read-only command — inspect, never modify.

1 — Artifact inventory

Check analysis/$1/ and modernized/$1*/ and build a table — one row per workflow stage, with the artifact's presence and modification time:

Stage Artifacts
preflight PREFLIGHT.md (note whether the Check 0 human answers and the Check 6 scope-boundary finding are present)
assess ASSESSMENT.md, ARCHITECTURE.mmd
map topology.json, TOPOLOGY.html, *.mmd, extract_topology.*
extract-rules BUSINESS_RULES.md, DATA_OBJECTS.md
brief MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md (note whether the approval block is signed)
harden SECURITY_FINDINGS.md, security_remediation.patch
uplift DELTA_CATALOG.md, BASELINE.md, PLAYBOOK.md (no playbook = the pilot hasn't happened yet — the fan-out must not); modernized/$1-uplifted/UPLIFT_NOTES.md (note per-unit: builds on target? baseline reproduced?)
transform each modernized/$1/<module>/ dir — note test presence and whether TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md exists
reimagine modernized/$1-reimagined/ — note per-service acceptance tests and the CLAUDE.md handoff (reimagine's completion markers; it does NOT write TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md)

2 — Staleness

Flag any artifact older than an upstream artifact it derives from:

  • MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md older than ASSESSMENT.md, topology.json, or BUSINESS_RULES.md → the brief no longer reflects discovery; recommend re-running /modernize-brief.
  • MODERNIZATION_BRIEF.md for a same-stack uplift plan that is older than DELTA_CATALOG.md — or that has no catalog at all — → the phase order was decided before (or without) the version deltas that determine it; recommend re-running /modernize-brief.
  • TOPOLOGY.html older than topology.json → re-run the injection step from /modernize-map.
  • Any TRANSFORMATION_NOTES.md older than BUSINESS_RULES.md → the module may not implement the latest rule set; list which.

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.
