Legacy Files - Frank v4/v5 Artifacts

This document identifies legacy files from previous Frank versions and their v6 equivalents or migration status.

---

✅ Preserved & Organized

Frank/docx/

Status: ✅ Organized (moved from root to subdirectory in Phase 1)
Contents: DOCX exports of source markdown files
Action: Keep as archive - useful for Word-based workflows
v6 Equivalent: Source files now in v6/ structure

Frank/markdown/

Status: ✅ Preserved
Contents: Original v5 source markdown files
Action: Keep as reference - shows evolution to v6
v6 Equivalent:

• Frank Meadows.agent.md → Extracted to v6/Frank.core.agent.md + multiple specialties
• style.*.md → Copied to v6/skills/

---

🔄 Superseded Files (Consider Archiving)

copilot-instructions.md (root)

Status: 🔄 Superseded by v6/copilot-instructions.md
Version: v4/v5 artifact
v6 Equivalent: v6/copilot-instructions.md (fully rewritten for modular architecture)
Recommendation: Rename to copilot-instructions.v5.md or move to archive/ folder

agents/FrankGPT.consolidated-instructions.md

Status: 🔄 Superseded by v6 modular system
Version: v5 consolidated monolith
v6 Equivalent: Use v6/Frank.core.agent.md + relevant specialties
Recommendation: Rename to FrankGPT.consolidated-instructions.v5.md for reference

instructions/core.instructions.md

Status: 🔄 Superseded by v6 core
Version: v4 IT-focused core logic
v6 Equivalent:

• General personality → v6/Frank.core.agent.md
• IT-specific logic → v6/specialties/specialty.itil.instructions.md
  Recommendation: Keep for historical reference, note superseded status

instructions/style.markdown.instructions.md

Status: 🔄 Duplicate (canonical version in v6)
Version: v4/v5
v6 Equivalent: v6/skills/style.markdown.instructions.md
Recommendation: Delete or mark as deprecated (100% duplicate)

---

📦 Kept As-Is

agents/Data Analyst.agent.md

Status: 📦 Extracted to specialty
Version: v4/v5
v6 Equivalent: v6/specialties/specialty.data-analysis.instructions.md
Recommendation: Keep original for comparison, clearly superseded by v6

agents/SCCM Tutor.agent.md

Status: 📦 Extracted to specialty
Version: v4/v5
v6 Equivalent: v6/specialties/specialty.sccm.instructions.md
Recommendation: Keep original for comparison, clearly superseded by v6

knowledge/

Status: ✅ Copied to v6
Contents: Example files for reasoning techniques
v6 Equivalent: v6/knowledge/ (identical copies)
Recommendation: Keep both - root for reference, v6 for active use

prompts/

Status: ✅ Kept at root
Contents: Prompt templates (content2template, create-commit, md2html, etc.)
v6 Status: Independent templates, not core to Frank architecture
Recommendation: Keep at root - these are utilities, not agent definitions
Future Option: Could create specialty.prompt-templates.instructions.md if desired

🗂️ Recommended Cleanup Actions

Option A: Minimal (Safe)

Just add deprecation notices to superseded files:

# Add header to superseded files
echo "⚠️ DEPRECATED: This file is superseded by v6/copilot-instructions.md" | cat - copilot-instructions.md > temp && mv temp copilot-instructions.md

Option B: Archive Folder

Create archive/ folder for v4/v5 artifacts:

mkdir archive/
mv copilot-instructions.md archive/copilot-instructions.v5.md
mv agents/FrankGPT.consolidated-instructions.md archive/
mv instructions/core.instructions.md archive/core.instructions.v4.md
# Keep originals in _Frank_/markdown and agents/ for reference

Option C: Aggressive Cleanup

Delete duplicates, keep only v6 as canonical:

# Delete 100% duplicates
rm instructions/style.markdown.instructions.md

# Archive superseded files
mkdir archive/
mv copilot-instructions.md archive/
mv agents/FrankGPT.consolidated-instructions.md archive/
mv instructions/core.instructions.md archive/

# Keep _Frank_/, agents/, knowledge/, prompts/ as-is for reference

🎯 Migration Decision Matrix

Keep if:

• ✅ Original source for v6 content (Frank/markdown/)
• ✅ Unique content not in v6 (prompts/)
• ✅ Archive/reference value (agents/ originals)

Archive if:

• 📦 Superseded by v6 but has historical value
• 📦 Might be useful for rollback scenarios
• 📦 Comparison/migration reference

Delete if:

• 🗑️ 100% duplicate of v6 content
• 🗑️ No historical value
• 🗑️ Confusing to keep both versions

---

💡 Recommendation

Suggested approach: Option B (Archive Folder)

1. Create archive/ folder
2. Move superseded root files: copilot-instructions.md, agents/FrankGPT.consolidated-instructions.md
3. Delete 100% duplicate: instructions/style.markdown.instructions.md
4. Keep everything else as-is for reference
5. Add note to root README pointing to v6/

This preserves history while making it clear v6 is canonical.
