Helped: Iterative process of adding specific rules for equivalent patterns.
I was able to use Claude to translate a few thousand lines of assembler from one syntax+toolchain to another. Process was definitely iterative; had to keep adding a few rules along the lines of "don't do this...here's the equivalent pattern." But in the end it did a good job and saved me a ton of time. Allowed me to move a ton of unit tests off a hand rolled broken+bad assembler to a modern production toolchain.
