## Summary

AWS Machine Learning Blog describes a reusable PHP-to-Java migration engine built on Kiro, using skill files, a discovery scanner, and an eight-phase workflow. The engine treats the PHP application as the specification and requires a parity harness to verify the Java port. The same skill files can run interactively in Kiro or agentically in AWS Transform.
