Framework Compatibility Checker Skill

Checks codebase compatibility with target framework versions, identifies breaking changes, and recommends migration paths.

Purpose

Enable framework upgrade assessment for:

• Deprecated API detection
• Breaking change impact analysis
• Compatibility matrix generation
• Migration path recommendation
• Risk assessment

Capabilities

1. Deprecated API Usage Detection

• Find deprecated method calls
• Identify removed APIs
• Detect obsolete patterns
• Map replacement APIs

2. Breaking Change Impact Analysis

• Analyze upgrade changelogs
• Match breaking changes to code
• Estimate impact scope
• Prioritize by severity

3. Compatibility Matrix Generation

• Map current vs target versions
• List compatible dependencies
• Identify version conflicts
• Generate upgrade paths

4. Migration Path Recommendation

• Suggest incremental upgrades
• Identify intermediate versions
• Recommend safe upgrade order
• Plan breaking change handling

5. Risk Assessment

• Score upgrade difficulty
• Identify high-risk areas
• Estimate testing needs
• Calculate timeline impact
