Anthropic's modernization plugin rewrites legacy code and checks it

The Claude Code plugin analyzes a legacy codebase, writes a plan you approve, rebuilds or upgrades the code, then runs old and new on the same inputs and reports PROVEN, PARTLY PROVEN or NOT PROVEN. The legacy source is left untouched and a person signs off at set points. The README says to start with one module as a pilot.

For controls and plant IT teams: this targets software codebases (the post and README name no industrial languages), so it fits old in-house tools such as reporting or data-handling code, not PLC logic. Pilot on one small module.

lgx-mcp lets an AI agent propose online rung edits in Studio 5000

With a licensed copy of Logix Designer and its SDK, an agent can propose an online rung edit while you watch. By default it only proposes, and you decide when to test and assemble. The project says this is verified on FactoryTalk Logix Echo, not on a physical controller.

For controls engineers: have an agent propose a rung edit in Studio 5000, then test and assemble it yourself.
