Your Task
Think deeply about shell script modernization strategy, cross-platform compatibility, and type-safe automation patterns.
STEP 1: Shell Script Discovery and Analysis
- Scan repository for all shell scripts (.sh, .bash, .zsh files)
- Analyze script dependencies and external command usage
- Identify script complexity levels (simple, moderate, complex)
- Categorize scripts by functionality (build, deploy, utility, configuration)
- Map script interdependencies and execution order
STEP 2: Migration Strategy Planning
- Assess Deno ecosystem compatibility for each script
- Plan directory structure for converted TypeScript scripts
- Design deno.json task configuration strategy
- Identify scripts requiring sub-agent parallel conversion
- Create migration roadmap with complexity-based prioritization
STEP 3: State Management and Session Tracking
- Create session state file: /tmp/deno-migration-$SESSION_ID.json
- Track conversion progress and completed scripts
- Save dependency mappings and task configurations
- Implement checkpoint system for complex multi-script migrations
- Configure rollback strategy for failed conversions
STEP 4: Migration Execution Strategy
CASE migration_complexity: WHEN "simple" (1-5 scripts):
- Execute sequential conversion workflow
- Apply direct shell-to-Deno translation patterns
- Generate single deno.json task configuration
- Create unified scripts directory structure
WHEN "moderate" (6-20 scripts):
- Use parallel sub-agent conversion approach:
- **Agent 1**: Build and deployment script conversion
- **Agent 2**: Utility and configuration script conversion
- **Agent 3**: Testing and CI/CD script conversion
- **Agent 4**: deno.json configuration and task setup
WHEN "complex" (20+ scripts OR high interdependencies):
- Execute comprehensive multi-phase migration:
- **Phase 1**: Dependency analysis and mapping (parallel sub-agents)
- **Phase 2**: Core script conversion (specialized sub-agents)
- **Phase 3**: Integration testing and validation
- **Phase 4**: Documentation and rollback preparation
STEP 5: Conversion Workflow Implementation
TRY:
- Execute selected migration strategy from STEP 4
- Convert shell scripts to TypeScript using Dax and Deno APIs
- Maintain original functionality while adding type safety
- Update deno.json with appropriate tasks and permissions
- Create comprehensive migration documentation
- Save checkpoint: conversion_complete
CATCH (dax_compatibility_issues):
- Document unsupported shell constructs
- Create hybrid approach with shell command fallbacks
- Use Deno.Command API for complex shell interactions
- Save compatibility workarounds to session state
CATCH (permission_configuration_errors):
- Analyze required Deno permissions for each script
- Create minimal permission sets for security
- Document permission requirements in migration notes
- Provide permission troubleshooting guide
CATCH (dependency_resolution_failures):
- Identify missing external dependencies
- Create Deno-compatible alternatives or polyfills
- Document external tool requirements
- Provide installation and setup instructions
FINALLY:
- Update migration session state: /tmp/deno-migration-$SESSION_ID.json
- Create rollback instructions and backup references
- Generate migration verification tests
- Clean up temporary conversion artifacts
STEP 6: Validation and Testing Framework
- Generate automated tests for converted scripts
- Create before/after functionality comparison
- Implement cross-platform validation (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Set up CI/CD integration for converted scripts
- Document performance improvements and type safety gains
