migrating-to-zero-yaml

migrating-to-zero-yaml is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JustineDevs/premortem. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,618 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to manually moving older Nango projects from a YAML configuration file to TypeScript-based definitions. It creates the files and wrappers needed for syncs, actions, and event handlers while preserving existing behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Nango repository still uses nango.yaml and needs TypeScript scaffolding for its integrations.
Why use it?
It helps modernize a project without changing what its integrations already do.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { Metadata, Ticket } from '../../models.js';.

Good fit Use it when a Nango repository still uses nango.yaml and needs TypeScript scaffolding for its integrations.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

migrating-to-zero-yaml 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 9d 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 to Zero YAML

This skill replaces the old CLI migrator with an LLM-driven mechanical migration. Keep behavior as close as possible to the existing YAML project, then validate and stop. Do not turn this into a broader cleanup unless the user asks.

Critical rule

  • Do not tell the user to run nango migrate-to-zero-yaml.
  • Perform the migration manually in code.
  • Preserve existing behavior first.
  • Do not opportunistically migrate lastSyncDate, syncType, trackDeletes, or validation patterns unless the user asks or compilation forces you to touch them.
  • If the repo is already Zero YAML, stop and switch to a regular Zero YAML refactor workflow instead of forcing a migration.

Preconditions

  1. Confirm you are in the Nango project root and nango.yaml exists.
  2. Make sure there is a rollback path before destructive edits (git branch/commit or external backup).
  3. Read nango.yaml and inventory:
    • integrations
    • syncs
    • actions
    • on-event handlers
    • models
  4. Inspect the existing TypeScript files that those YAML entries point to.
  5. Keep the migration mechanical. Avoid redesigning APIs, renaming scripts, or changing business logic.

End state you are aiming for

The migrated project should have:

  • package.json
  • tsconfig.json
  • root models.ts
  • root index.ts
  • integration files exporting createSync(), createAction(), or createOnEvent()
  • helper files importing Nango runtime types from nango
  • no nango.yaml in the final migrated state

Migration workflow

  1. Read nango.yaml and build a migration inventory.
  2. Create or update Zero YAML scaffolding:
    • package.json
    • tsconfig.json
  3. Generate models.ts from the YAML models.
  4. Rewrite each sync file into createSync(...).
  5. Rewrite each action file into createAction(...).
  6. Rewrite each lifecycle handler into createOnEvent(...).
  7. Generate index.ts side-effect imports for every migrated script.
  8. Fix helper-file imports and small TypeScript breakages.
  9. Compile and validate.
  10. Remove nango.yaml only after the replacement project is in place and there is still a rollback path outside the file.

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.
