About Kaizen CLI

Kaizen CLI is an architecture-driven modernization tool. It decomposes legacy codebases
into editable Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) and recomposes them to modern stacks,
with an audit trail by default.

Key workflows:

  • kaizen memsafe-roadmap: C/C++ to Rust migration with CISA-format memory-safety roadmaps
  • kaizen migrate-plan: Framework modernization (AngularJS, .NET Framework, Java 8, etc.)

Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
