Discovers valid migration plans in the workspace and returns the selected plan path. A valid plan is a subdirectory of .github/modernize/ that contains plan.md…

Step 1 — Discover valid plans
You MUST run this in a terminal — do NOT use file tools (list_dir, file_search, grep_search) to discover plans.
Detect the OS and run the matching script in the terminal. Replace <workspace-root> with the absolute path to the workspace root before running.
Windows (PowerShell) — run in terminal:
Set-Location "<workspace-root>"
$modernizeDir = ".github/modernize"
$plans = @()
if (Test-Path $modernizeDir) {
Get-ChildItem -Path $modernizeDir -Directory | ForEach-Object {
$hasPlan = Test-Path (Join-Path $_.FullName "plan.md")
$hasTasks = (Test-Path (Join-Path $_.FullName "tasks.json")) -or (Test-Path (Join-Path $_.FullName ".metadata/tasks.json"))
if ($hasPlan -and $hasTasks) {
$plans += @{ folder = $_.Name; planPath = "$modernizeDir/$($_.Name)/plan.md" }
}
}
}
$plans | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 2
macOS / Linux (bash) — run in terminal:
cd "<workspace-root>"
modernize_dir=".github/modernize"
entries="[]"
if [ -d "$modernize_dir" ]; then
for folder in "$modernize_dir"/*/; do
[ -d "$folder" ] || continue
name=$(basename "$folder")
if [ -f "$folder/plan.md" ] && ([ -f "$folder/tasks.json" ] || [ -f "$folder/.metadata/tasks.json" ]); then
entry="{\"folder\":\"$name\",\"planPath\":\"$modernize_dir/$name/plan.md\"}"
if [ "$entries" = "[]" ]; then
entries="[$entry]"
else
entries="${entries%]},$entry]"
fi
fi
done
fi
echo "$entries"
Parse the JSON output from the terminal as the list of valid plans for the next step.
Step 2 — Route based on count
No plans found
Return no-plans-found to the caller. Do not prompt the user.
Exactly 1 plan found
Return its path immediately — no user prompt needed:
.github/modernize/<folder>/plan.md
Multiple plans found
- For each plan, read
.github/modernize/<folder>/plan.md, extract the first heading, strip the leading#and any prefix of the form<Word> Plan:(e.g.Modernization Plan:,Migration Plan:), and use the remainder as the title. - Print:
Searched for plan.md and tasks.json files... There are multiple plans in this repository. - Ask the user to select a plan:
header:plan-selectionquestion:Which plan would you like to execute?allowFreeformInput:falseoptions: one entry per plan —label= folder name,description= plan title from step 1
Step 3 — Return
Return the selected plan path to the caller:
.github/modernize/<selected-folder>/plan.md
