Scenario Discovery

Scan the user's solution for modernization opportunities and present them clearly.

When to use

• User asks "what can I modernize?", "scan my repo", "find upgrade opportunities", or similar exploratory requests
• Post-completion "Discover more opportunities" flow
• Any time you need to analyze a solution before the user has picked a specific scenario

Step 1 — Run discovery

Call discover_upgrade_scenarios(solutionPath, projectPath) to analyze the solution.

• Use the solution path from the workspace or from what the user provided.
• If the user mentioned a specific project, pass it as projectPath. Otherwise, pass it empty to scan the entire solution.

If the tool returns no results: tell the user no modernization opportunities were found for their solution and ask if they'd like to try with a different solution or project scope.

Step 2 — Present results

Use the tool result and follow the format below.

Rules

1. Never mention implementation details — do not say "signals", "analysis rules", "ISliceNodeProvider", "rule instances", or any internal mechanism. The user sees what was found, not how it was detected.
2. Never show scenario IDs — use the scenario name/description only.
3. Never invent scenarios — only present scenarios that appear in the tool result.
4. Value proposition first — lead with why this matters to the user, not what was detected.
5. Group by priority — scenarios are already sorted by importance/weight. Present them in the order given.

Presentation format

Header

🔍 **Found {N} modernization opportunity/opportunities**

Scenario cards — show top 5 max

Present at most 5 scenarios, sorted by priority (they're already sorted in the tool result). Each scenario is a block separated by ---:

{emoji} **{Scenario name}**
{Value proposition — 1-2 sentences explaining why this upgrade is valuable.}

Affects: {up to 3 project names}

Project names:

• The tool returns full project paths. Extract just the project name (file name without extension) for the summary display.
• Show at most 3 names. If more: Affects: WebApp, DataLayer, Common, and 4 more
• The full discovery report (if requested) should use full paths.

Emoji selection:

• 🚀 Version upgrades (.NET, framework)
• 🗄️ Database/data access (EF, SQL, LINQ to SQL)
• 🔄 API migrations (WCF, Newtonsoft, SqlClient)
• 🤖 AI/ML framework migrations (Semantic Kernel)
• ☁️ Cloud integrations (Aspire, Azure Functions)
• 🔒 Security (vulnerable packages)
• 📦 Project modernization (SDK-style conversion)

Footer

If more than 5 scenarios exist, add after the last card:

...and {M} more opportunities. Would you like me to generate a full discovery report with all of them?

Call to action (always, after cards or overflow note):

• 1 scenario: Would you like me to start this upgrade?
• 2-5 scenarios: Which would you like to start with? I recommend **{first}** — {one-sentence reason}.
• 6+ scenarios: Which would you like to start with? I recommend **{first}** as the highest-priority item.

Example output

🔍 Found 3 modernization opportunities

---

🚀 Upgrade to .NET 10 Move your projects to .NET 10 for better performance, new language features, and long-term support.

Affects: WebApp, DataLayer, Common, and 2 more

---

🔄 Migrate Newtonsoft.Json to System.Text.Json System.Text.Json offers better performance and is the built-in JSON library in modern .NET.

Affects: WebApp, DataLayer

---

🔒 Fix vulnerable NuGet packages Some packages have known security vulnerabilities that should be addressed.

Affects: WebApp

---

Which would you like to start with? I recommend Upgrade to .NET 10 — it's the highest-impact change and other migrations benefit from the latest framework.

Full discovery report

When the user asks for the full report (only relevant when 6+ scenarios were found and the summary was truncated), produce a markdown document using ALL data from the tool result — no truncation.

⛔ Follow this template exactly. Do NOT add sections, recommendations, lifecycle references, or any content beyond what the tool returned. The report presents what was found — not what you think might be useful. Unverified recommendations (e.g., "enable nullable", "add Aspire") make the report unreliable. If additional analysis is wanted, that's a separate conversation.

Use this structure:

# Discovery Report

**Scenarios found:** {total count}

{For each scenario, in priority order:}

---

## {N}. {Scenario name}

{Description and value proposition — use the text from the tool result.}

**Importance:** {importance level}
**Affected projects:**
- `{full/path/to/ProjectA.csproj}`
- `{full/path/to/ProjectB.csproj}`

That's it. No "Recommendations" section, no "Resources" section, no "Current Status" section, no "Support Lifecycle" section. Only the scenarios and their data as returned by the tool.

Write it to the scenario folder as discovery-report.md if a scenario folder exists, or present it inline if no scenario is active. Confirm the path to the user after writing.
