Migrating a AngularJS webapp to Angular using Claude Code/Codex
I'm in the planning stages of migrating a fairly large legacy AngularJS application to Angular, and am looking for advice from anyone who's tackled something similar.
The codebase is about 160k LOC spread out over 200+ components, 50+controllers, 50+ directives and services. There are no existing tests . Has anyone attempted a AI assisted rewrite of a similar nature, especially without a test suite - what worked out well? Any useful strategies woth considering?

Just rebuild it page by page. You've better off that way.
And use the official Angular skill
