principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apis

principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apis is a skill for Claude Code from ericlitman/open-pstack. It costs 45 tokens per session (228 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apis, MIT.

A refactoring rule for moving all internal callers to a new interface and removing the old one in the same change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during coordinated internal API changes when callers can be updated together and the project accepts a breaking refactor.
Why use it?
Keeping both interfaces creates duplicate paths, compatibility clutter, and ongoing maintenance work when no external users need the old version.

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

principle-migrate-callers-then-delete-legacy-apis 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

What it actually says

Migrate Callers Then Delete Legacy APIs

When we decide a new API is the right design, migrate callers and remove the old API in the same refactor wave instead of preserving compatibility layers.

Rule:

  • Do not keep legacy API paths only because internal callers still exist
  • Inventory callers, migrate them, and delete the old API immediately
  • Treat temporary adapters as exceptional and time-boxed, not default architecture
  • Update tests to assert the new contract, and delete tests that only protect pre-refactor implementation details

When this applies:

  • No external users depend on backward compatibility
  • The project can absorb coordinated breaking changes
  • The new API is part of a simplification or refactor initiative

Keeping both old and new APIs creates dual-path complexity, slows cleanup, and makes the codebase feel append-only.

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.
