beads-check-dolt-migration

beads-check-dolt-migration is a skill for Claude Code from flurdy/agent-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only checker for Beads repositories. Beads is an issue-tracking system that can store its data in an older format or in Dolt, a versioned database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding to a Beads repository, after upgrading the Beads command-line tool, or when commands fail because the storage format may be outdated.
Why use it?
It identifies whether the repository needs a storage migration or schema upgrade before migration commands are run. It does not change repository files, databases, remotes, or Git state.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

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

beads-check-dolt-migration 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 11d 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.

Beads Migration and Schema Check

Read-only detection of whether a repository needs classic-to-Dolt migration, a Dolt schema upgrade, or no action. Reports the current state without changing files, databases, remotes, or Git state.

When to Use

  • Before running /beads-migrate-to-dolt
  • After upgrading bd, especially across a minor or major version
  • When bd reports pending schema migrations or a remote migration gate
  • When bd commands fail and the storage format or schema may be stale
  • When onboarding to a repo with beads

Instructions

1. Check for Beads Installation

ls -la .beads/ 2>/dev/null

If no .beads/ directory exists, report "No beads installation found" and stop.

2. Detect Storage Format

On-disk inspection is authoritative:

# Classic format indicators
test -f .beads/beads.db && echo "FOUND: SQLite database"
test -f .beads/issues.jsonl && echo "FOUND: JSONL issues file"

# Dolt format indicators
test -d .beads/dolt && echo "FOUND: server-mode Dolt directory"
test -d .beads/embeddeddolt && echo "FOUND: legacy embedded-Dolt directory"
test -f .beads/metadata.json && cat .beads/metadata.json

issues.jsonl is not proof of classic storage: modern bd can export JSONL for interchange while Dolt remains authoritative.

3. Check Configuration, Remotes, and Worktrees

cat .beads/config.yaml 2>/dev/null
git worktree list 2>/dev/null

For a Dolt repository also run:

bd dolt status 2>&1 || true
bd dolt remote list 2>&1 || true
bd config get no-push 2>&1 || true

Look for:

  • sync.remote or sync.branch in config
  • A configured Dolt remote
  • Worktrees at .git/beads-worktrees/ from the classic sync mechanism

4. Check bd and Schema Compatibility

bd --version 2>/dev/null
bd migrate --inspect --json 2>&1 || true

Treat the inspection output as diagnostic even when it exits non-zero. On bd 1.1+, a remote-backed database with pending migrations intentionally refuses automatic migration and returns a remote_migrate_gate. Do not bypass that gate during this read-only check.

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.
