migrate-spec

A conversion process for planning documents made with GSD, spec-kit, or BMAD, which are different systems for organizing software specifications. It transforms them into the bigpowers YAML file layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to migrate specification artifacts into state, release-plan, epic, requirement, plan, and architecture-decision files under specs/. It does not write application code.
Why use it?
It avoids rewriting existing project plans by hand when moving between specification systems. It also checks whether the source documents are complete, current, and actually intended for migration.

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-spec 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.

Migrate Spec

Transform existing GSD, spec-kit, or BMAD planning artifacts into the bigpowers specs/ model. No code is written — the output is a set of bigpowers-format spec files the user can use immediately.

Quick start

  1. Run this skill from the root of the project being migrated (not the bigpowers repo itself).
  2. The skill auto-detects the source framework and presents its findings before transforming anything.
  3. All output goes to specs/ at the project root.

Red flags — stop and ask

Before proceeding, check for these rationalization traps:

  • Partial artifact set — only one fingerprint file found (e.g. just spec.md with no plan.md). Don't assume it's a complete project. Ask: "I found only X — is this the full set of your spec artifacts?"
  • Wrong trigger — user said "migrate my code" or "migrate the database", not "migrate my specs". Confirm before running.
  • Stale source — source artifacts have commit dates older than 6 months with no recent activity. Flag: "These specs appear inactive since . Are they still the source of truth?"
  • Active divergence — source state.yaml or sprint-status.yaml shows in-progress work. Flag: "There is active work in flight. Migrating now may lose in-progress context. Proceed?"

If any red flag fires: surface it, wait for explicit user confirmation before continuing.


Process

Step 1 — Detect the source framework

Scan for the fingerprints below. Stop at first match; if multiple match, list them and ask the user which is primary.

Framework Fingerprints (any one is sufficient)
GSD .planning/ directory; .planning/ROADMAP.md; .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md with REQ- IDs
spec-kit .specify/ directory; spec.md + plan.md at root; .github/skills/speckit-*/SKILL.md
BMAD _bmad/ directory; _bmad-output/ directory; prd.md with FR- IDs; epic-*.md or story-*.md

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.

migrate-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielvm-git/bigpowers (156 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 8,506 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
