Automate library migrations by synthesizing reusable code transformation scripts. Uses LLM-generated migration examples distilled into structured, testable rewrite rules (PolyglotPiranha / comby / semgrep patterns). Triggers: 'migrate from X to Y library', 'generate migration script', 'automated API migration', 'rewrite all uses of library X', 'create transformation rules for migration', 'synthesize code edits for library swap'.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill enables Claude to perform automated library-to-library API migrations by applying the SPELL methodology: instead of rewriting every call site by hand or relying on a one-shot LLM rewrite, Claude generates diverse migration examples first, then generalizes those examples into reusable transformation rules that can be applied deterministically across an entire codebase. The result is structured, testable, repeatable migration logic — not fragile find-and-replace or non-reproducible LLM output.
