torque:migrate

torque:migrate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mattjaikaran/torque. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,309 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding whether to move from Torque, a workflow that routes work between GSD and Superpowers, to Meridian, its described standalone successor with stored project state and defined commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether a project is ready for Meridian and, if so, follow a migration path from Torque.
Why use it?
It helps identify when separate routing is no longer enough, such as when sessions are hard to resume, several milestones or agents are involved, or work must be coordinated remotely.

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 C, and why

torque:migrate scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Migrate to Meridian

Evaluate whether the current project would benefit from upgrading to Meridian and provide a migration path.

What is Meridian?

Meridian is the standalone successor to Torque. Instead of routing between GSD and Superpowers, Meridian IS the system — a SQLite-backed state machine with 39 commands, deterministic resume, quality gates, and remote agent dispatch.

When to Migrate

Signals you've outgrown Torque

Run through this checklist. If 3+ are true, Meridian is the right move.

  • Session continuity is painful — you lose context between sessions and /gsd:resume-work isn't enough
  • Multi-milestone project — you've completed 1+ milestones and are starting another
  • Team coordination — multiple people or AI agents need to work on the project
  • You want deterministic resume — same state should produce the exact same prompt every time
  • You need board sync — Linear, Jira, or similar needs to stay in sync with phases
  • Remote execution — you want to dispatch plans to other machines or agents
  • Execution learnings — you want the system to learn from failures and improve over time
  • You're fighting the routing — GSD and SP conflict resolution is becoming overhead

Stay with Torque if

  • Project is simple (< 3 milestones expected)
  • You like GSD and Superpowers separately and just need them coordinated
  • You don't need persistent state beyond .planning/ files
  • Lightweight is a feature, not a limitation

Migration Path

Step 1: Install Meridian

git clone https://github.com/mattjaikaran/meridian.git ~/.claude/skills/meridian

Step 2: Initialize in your project

# In your project directory
# Meridian will detect existing .planning/ and offer to import

Then run /meridian:init — it creates .meridian/state.db and imports existing state.

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.

torque:migrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository mattjaikaran/torque (6 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,309 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
