# Update .gitignore if needed
# Remove any local agent dependencies
```

### 4.2 Optimize Kaizen Configuration

## Risk Mitigation & Rollback Plans

### Risk Assessment
| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-------------|--------|------------|
| Agent functionality regression | Medium | High | Thorough validation testing, backup system |
| Claude Code integration issues | Low | High | Framework detected compatibility, gradual migration |
| Workflow disruption | Medium | Medium | Phased approach, parallel running during transition |
| Tool integration failures | Medium | Medium | Update tools incrementally, maintain CLI compatibility |

### Rollback Strategy
**If issues arise during any phase:**

1. **Immediate Rollback:**
   ```bash
   git checkout backup/local-agents-pre-kaizen
   # Restore .claude/agents/ directory
   # Revert CLAUDE.md changes
   ```

2. **Partial Rollback:**
   - Keep successfully migrated agents
   - Rollback problematic agents only
   - Use hybrid local/kaizen approach temporarily

3. **Tool-Specific Rollback:**
   - Revert individual tool integrations
   - Maintain kaizen agents for new functionality
   - Update local tools to work with both systems
