Quick brief
Use OpenRewrite when an agent needs to execute a known migration or refactoring recipe across a large codebase, such as framework upgrades, API replacements, or consistency fixes. Invoke this instead of using the underlying ecosystem normally when the task is bulk automated rewrites with reviewable diffs, not ordinary coding or library use. The scope boundary is clear: OpenRewrite is being used here as a recipe-driven migration workflow, not as a generic build plugin, SDK, or platform listing.
