About

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.

Installers · v1.0.3

Architecture	Type	Scope	Install	Download
x64	Portable	-		Direct

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for Kaizen CLI.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
