migrate

A guided command for carrying out a multi-step code migration, such as replacing a deprecated API with a newer one. It inventories affected code, plans reviewable steps, and verifies each stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to migrate deprecated symbols or patterns, with a clean-worktree check, occurrence inventory, staged execution, verification, and an Unreleased changelog entry.
Why use it?
It makes large changes easier to review and limits the chance of silently missing usages or breaking tests. The workflow stops at failures and checks tests, types, and project linting.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

migrate 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.

What it actually says

Execute a code migration named $1 (target: ${2:-latest}).

Generic migration playbook (apply iff the named migration matches one of these shapes; otherwise plan first):

  1. Snapshot. Confirm the working tree is clean — abort if not.
  2. Inventory. Search for every occurrence of the deprecated symbol / pattern. Report counts grouped by file. Pause for user approval.
  3. Plan. List the migration in 3–7 numbered steps. Each step must be:
    • Reviewable in isolation.
    • Independently testable (or explicitly marked "no test possible").
  4. Execute step-by-step. After each step:
    • Run the affected tests.
    • Run the type-checker.
    • Stop on the first failure and ask the user before proceeding.
  5. Verify. Run the full test suite and any project-specific lints.
  6. Document. Append a CHANGELOG entry under ## Unreleased.

Hard rules:

  • Never combine multiple steps into one commit.
  • Never disable tests "temporarily" — fix or revert.
  • Pin third-party version bumps to exact versions during migration; relax the pin in a follow-up PR.
Changes

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.
