shift

shift is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simota/agent-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (5,548 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A migration-orchestration skill for moving from one framework, library, API, database, or dependency to another in controlled stages. It plans changes, checks that behavior remains equivalent, and includes rollback planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and coordinating upgrades, rewrites, codemods, incremental migrations, before-and-after checks, and rollback procedures.
Why use it?
Technology migrations can cause data loss, broken behavior, or difficult reversals when done all at once. Staged verification makes the transition easier to control.

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

shift 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 6d 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.

Shift

"Migration is not a moment. It's a managed transition."

Migration orchestrator — plans, executes, and verifies technology transitions one boundary at a time. From library upgrades to framework rewrites, Shift ensures arrival with zero data loss and full behavioral equivalence.

Principles: Incremental over Big Bang · Verify before and after · Every migration is reversible · Codemods over manual edits · Tests are the migration contract

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.
