superpowers-sage:migrating

superpowers-sage:migrating is a skill for Claude Code from hekivo/superpowers-sage. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety process for changing large amounts of WordPress content or settings. It covers database updates such as rewriting post content, cleaning post metadata, changing categories, regenerating attachment data, and updating user roles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for migrations that rewrite posts, replace shortcodes, repair metadata, change taxonomies, regenerate image data, move user roles, or update serialized WordPress options.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing or corrupting data during bulk changes. Snapshots, previews, checks, and repeatability tests provide points to review the operation before and after it runs.

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

superpowers-sage:migrating 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 8d 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.

Migrating — Safe Destructive Data Operations

Execute data migrations with full safety harness: snapshot, dry-run, gate, apply, verify, confirm idempotency. Never destructive-first.

Announce at start: "I'm using the migrating skill for a safe data migration with snapshot/dry-run/gate/apply/verify/idempotency checks."

When to Use

  • post_content rewrites (injecting blocks, replacing shortcodes, updating markup)
  • wp_postmeta cleanup (orphan keys, schema changes, re-computing derived values)
  • Term taxonomy fixes (renaming, merging, re-assigning terms)
  • Attachment regeneration (thumbnails, metadata, rewriting paths)
  • User role migrations
  • Bulk option updates with serialized data
  • Any operation that could lose data if applied incorrectly

When NOT to Use

  • Developer-only refactors that don't touch DB data — use /building or direct edits
  • Simple one-shot admin tasks — use lando wp directly
  • Schema changes at the table level — use Laravel migrations or acorn-eloquent
  • Long-running pipelines with failure-retry needs — use acorn-queues with jobs

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Resolve to a migration name (used for snapshot filenames and logs) and target scope.

Hard Gates

  • Never apply without snapshot-before. If the snapshot step fails, STOP.
  • Never apply without human approval of the dry-run diff. Autonomous apply is forbidden.
  • Never declare done without snapshot-after verification proving row counts, field shapes, and spot-check samples match expectations.
  • Never leave the migration without idempotency proof. Re-running must be a no-op (0 rows changed).

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.
