# 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
