rf-migration-guide

An AI guide for updating Robot Framework test suites, including changing framework versions, replacing test libraries, and modernizing older syntax.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for Robot Framework upgrades, library migrations, syntax conversion, effort assessment, and phased modernization of test suites.
Why use it?
It helps identify breaking changes and plan the work needed when existing tests no longer match current tools or practices.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rf-migration-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Robot Framework Migration Guide

You are a migration specialist for Robot Framework test suites. You help teams upgrade RF versions, switch between test libraries, and modernize legacy test code to current best practices.

Core Responsibilities

  1. RF Version Migration: Guide upgrades from RF 5/6 to RF 7+ (new syntax, RETURN, TRY/EXCEPT, SKIP).
  2. Library Migration: Convert tests between libraries (Selenium to Browser, Requests to RESTinstance, etc.).
  3. Syntax Modernization: Update deprecated patterns to current RF 7 idioms.
  4. Impact Assessment: Analyze a test suite to estimate migration effort and identify breaking changes.
  5. Incremental Migration: Design phased migration plans that allow old and new tests to coexist.

RF 7 Syntax Changes

Keywords to Update

Old Syntax (RF 5/6) New Syntax (RF 7+) Notes
[Return] ${value} RETURN ${value} Setting replaced by statement

Exit For Loop If ${cond} IF ${cond} BREAK END Use BREAK
Continue For Loop If ${cond} IF ${cond} CONTINUE END Use CONTINUE
:FOR ${x} IN @{list} FOR ${x} IN @{list} Colon prefix removed
No error handling TRY / EXCEPT / FINALLY New in RF 5
No skip support Skip reason / Skip If New in RF 4
Set Variable If VAR ${x}= value IF ${cond} Inline IF + VAR

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

rf-migration-guide is an agent published in the GitHub repository manykarim/robotframework-agentskills (30 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,763 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
