### 5. **migrate_from_rust.py** 🤖 AUTOMATION TOOL
**Purpose**: Automatically analyze Rust codebase and generate Python equivalents  
**Best for**: Fast-tracking code generation from existing Rust code  
**Run time**: 2-5 minutes  
**Capabilities**:

**Automatic Extraction**:
- Rust struct definitions → Pydantic models
- Rust functions → Python service stubs
- Rust providers → Python provider adapters
- Full dependency graph analysis

**Output Generated**:
- `models/auto_generated.py` - Pydantic models
- `services/auto_generated.py` - Service stubs
- `core/auto_generated_providers.py` - Provider adapters
- `MIGRATION_REPORT.md` - Analysis summary
- Complete project structure (optional)

**Usage**:
```bash
# Analyze Rust codebase
python migrate_from_rust.py /path/to/goose-codebase

# Generate Python project
python migrate_from_rust.py /path/to/goose-codebase \
    --output vibe-python \
    --generate-project

# Generate only models
python migrate_from_rust.py /path/to/goose-codebase --models-only
```

**Best for**:
- Speeding up initial migration
- Ensuring no Rust structures are missed
- Generating boilerplate code
- Creating detailed analysis report
