Lift-and-shift port of a repository, library, API, protocol, or other software artifact to a different language, runtime, or platform, with the original source available as a reference. This skill SHOULD be used when the user says "port from X to Y", "lift and shift", "rewrite in Go", "rewrite in Rust", "translate this codebase", "convert to TypeScript", "language migration", "rewrite in another language", "carry over the algorithms", "borrow techniques from", "dirty room", "dirty-room design", "sc-dirty-room", or wants to reimplement an existing artifact while studying its internals to preserve algorithms, data structures, or idioms worth keeping. NOT for legally-constrained reimplementation — use /sc-clean-room when copyright isolation matters.
