# Build System Migrator Skill

Migrates build systems to modern alternatives, handling build file conversion, plugin migration, and CI/CD integration.

## Purpose

Enable build modernization for:
- Build file conversion
- Plugin migration
- Dependency management migration
- CI/CD integration
- Cache optimization

## Capabilities

### 1. Build File Conversion
- Convert build configurations
- Migrate between tools
- Preserve build logic
- Handle custom tasks

### 2. Plugin Migration
- Map plugin equivalents
- Configure replacements
- Handle custom plugins
- Document gaps

### 3. Dependency Management Migration
- Convert dependency declarations
- Handle version management
- Migrate lockfiles
- Manage repositories

### 4. CI/CD Integration
- Update pipeline configurations
- Adapt build commands
- Handle caching
- Optimize parallelization

### 5. Cache Optimization
- Configure build caches
- Set up remote caching
- Handle cache invalidation
- Optimize cache keys

### 6. Incremental Build Setup
- Configure incremental builds
- Handle change detection
- Optimize rebuild time
- Manage artifacts
