migrate-k2-nintex

A K2/Nintex K2 migration skill guides the assessment and conversion of K2 applications to Mendix. K2 stores application elements in a server database, while Mendix projects are stored in an .mpr project file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map K2 SmartObjects to Mendix domain models, SmartForms to pages, and K2 workflows to Mendix microflows or workflows.
Why use it?
It explains how to translate different K2 building blocks into Mendix equivalents and highlights storage and versioning differences that affect migration planning.

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

migrate-k2-nintex 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 2d 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.

K2/Nintex to Mendix Migration Skill

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for assessing and migrating K2 (now Nintex K2) applications to Mendix using MDL (Mendix Definition Language).

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Analyzing K2/Nintex applications for migration to Mendix
  • Converting SmartObjects to Mendix domain models
  • Mapping SmartForms Views to Mendix pages
  • Translating K2 Workflows to Mendix microflows or workflows
  • Planning a migration strategy for legacy K2 systems

Understanding K2 Application Architecture

K2 applications are fundamentally different from Mendix in how they're stored and structured.

K2 Storage Model

Key Difference: K2 applications are server-side/database-stored, not file-based like Mendix. All K2 project elements and data are saved into the K2 database, not as files. This is one of the key challenges for migration.

Aspect K2/Nintex Mendix
Storage Server database .mpr file (SQLite)
Versioning Server-managed Git-based (MPR v2)
Export format .kspx package .mpk package
Project file No single file .mpr project file

K2 Artifact Types

A K2 application is composed of several artifact types:

SmartObjects

Middle layer between data providers (SQL, SAP, SharePoint) and data consumers (forms, workflows, reports). They abstract data from LOB systems.

SmartObject Type Description Mendix Mapping
SmartBox Stores data in K2's own database Persistable Entity
SQL Connector Connects to SQL Server tables External Database Connector
SAP Connector Connects to SAP systems OData/REST Integration
SharePoint Connector Connects to SharePoint lists REST Client
Service Object Exposes services/methods Microflow/Java Action
SmartForms

Browser-based forms composed of Views and Forms:

SmartForms Element Description Mendix Mapping
View Reusable collection of controls + rules bound to SmartObjects Snippet or Page Section
Form Container for views, accessible via URL Page
Control UI element (text, date, dropdown, etc.) Widget
Rule Event-driven logic ("when button clicked, execute method") Nanoflow or Microflow

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.

migrate-k2-nintex is a skill published in the GitHub repository mendixlabs/mxcli (115 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,780 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
