The AI migrated his whole project from JavaScript to TypeScript in 236 commits

He pointed the AI at his JavaScript project and asked for a full TypeScript migration without changing behavior. 236 commits and a full day later the project compiled clean, the linter passed, and 55 of 56 tests passed, with the one failure traced to a commit where a value was accidentally hardcoded.

How it works

  1. Points the AI at the project in goal mode
  2. Agent converts file by file across 236 commits
  3. Compiles and lints clean
  4. Runs the test suite, 55 of 56 pass
  5. The one failure is traced to a hardcoded value

Why it’s worth knowing

The failure was not conversion sloppiness in general; the agent changed behavior in exactly one place and the tests caught it.
