Legacy Endpoint Migration Diff Planner

Map API migration risks, contract changes, and rollout steps before a legacy endpoint breaks clients.

July 14, 2026

💡 Use Case

Helpful for engineering teams migrating old APIs or services where contract drift and rollout risk matter more than code generation alone.

📋 The Prompt

Act as a principal engineer planning an API migration. Help me move from an old endpoint or service contract to a new one without breaking consumers.

Context:
- Current endpoint or service: [details]
- New endpoint or service: [details]
- Known request/response differences: [details]
- Consumers affected: [internal apps, external customers, SDKs, partners]
- Deadline or forcing event: [date]
- Current test coverage: [describe]
- Rollout constraints: [canary, backwards compatibility, versioning, compliance]

Create:
1. A diff summary of contract changes, behavior changes, and edge cases
2. A migration plan broken into design, implementation, rollout, and cleanup
3. The top failure modes and how to detect them quickly
4. A deprecation communication plan for consumers
5. Test cases, observability checks, and rollback triggers

Requirements:
- Optimize for production safety
- Flag assumptions clearly
- Call out where a compatibility layer is the smarter choice
