Migrating a large, decade-old codebase from Flow to TypeScript presented significant challenges beyond simply using AI for code conversion. The team developed a custom AI migration engine that first addressed infrastructure by moving the build system to Vite. They then created a detailed plan by analyzing the codebase's dependency graph and type ownership, breaking down large files into smaller modules, and ordering the migration groups based on dependencies. Finally, an AI loop was implemented, using Claude Sonnet for routine conversions and Claude Opus for complex cases, with a review stage involving TypeScript compilation and tests to ensure correctness before committing changes.
