# Migrate an app to a new framework

A developer used Claude Code to move about 6,000 lines from Electron to Node and React. It handled the mechanical parts, and the creative parts still needed a human.

## Steps

1. Ask for a migration plan.
2. Move one module at a time.
3. Test after each step.

## Prompt you can copy

```
Plan a migration of this app from [old] to [new]. List steps, risks, and do the mechanical parts first.
```
