What is migrate-repo?

A migration tool that moves tasks from documentation files into GitHub Issues, GitHub's system for tracking work. It uses preview checks and confirmation gates while creating the issues.

Use it to preview and transfer work from docs/history.md and docs/todo.md into GitHub Issues, with labels and staged confirmation.

It reduces the risk of losing tasks or creating unwanted issues during the move. The process also checks authentication and requires the exact repository path.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.01339
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00669
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00268
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00134

Security

Grade A, and why

migrate-repo 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/preview-and-capture.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Always run --dry-run first.

Irreversibility hard rule

gh issue create consumes monotonically increasing global issue numbers; they can never be reused, freed, or reassigned. Every canary stage is irreversible.
Each stage MUST run as its own process: never chain stages, never pipe yes into the orchestrator, never run two stages in one command.
AskUserQuestion is the only gate between stages — never invoke orchestrate.sh inside a pipeline that supplies stdin.

Pre-flight

gh auth status — confirm project scope is active.
AGENTS_CONFIG_DIR must be set.
Step 1 label setup is delegated to bin/github-issues/bootstrap-labels.sh.

Procedure

MR-1. Get the migration target path from the user.

Never infer REPO_PATH from a path mentioned only as documentation / reference / context — accept only the path the user explicitly designates as the target.
Resolve REPO_PATH to an absolute path, then AskUserQuestion: "Migration target = <abs path> — correct? (confirm this is NOT the agents repo itself)"
- "Yes, proceed with this path" → MR-2
- "No, re-enter the correct path" → re-collect REPO_PATH, repeat MR-1

MR-2. Preview + capture the snapshot.

Run: eval "$(bash "$AGENTS_CONFIG_DIR/skills/migrate-repo/scripts/preview-and-capture.sh" "$REPO_PATH")" — runs the dry-run, mirrors it to stderr, and exports MIGRATE_ACK_UP_TO_ISSUE_N + MIGRATE_ACK_SELF_COUNT_AT_ACK.
Inspect MIGRATE_SELF_REPO_DETECTED:
- =1 → AskUserQuestion: "WARNING: target (<REPO_PATH>) is the agents repo itself. Proceed ONLY for an intentional agents-repo Phase 3 self-migration."
  - "Proceed as agents-repo Phase 3" → MR-3
  - "Abort and fix the path" → stop the skill
- =0 → MR-3

MR-3. Dry-run review gate. AskUserQuestion: "Dry-run reviewed — proceed to History canary 1, or abort?"

Note in the question: if an existing-issues WARNING was shown, migrated issues permanently lose the "early issue numbers = history chronology" invariant.
"proceed" → MR-4
"abort" → stop the skill (no irreversible mutation yet)

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.

migrate-repo is a skill published in the GitHub repository nirecom/agents (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,339 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
