What it does

Cds Migrator Transform is an agent skill from coinbase/cds. Use when a CDS change in cds-web, cds-common, cds-mobile, web-visualization, or mobile-visualization needs a jscodeshift migration in packages/migrator to update callers or mitigate breaking API or import moves (add or change a transform, tests, or preset entry).

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Coinbase Design System.

When your agent uses it

  • A CDS change in cds-web
  • Web-visualization
  • Mobile-visualization needs a jscodeshift migration in packages/migrator to update callers
  • Mitigate breaking API

Example prompts

  • “/cds-migrator-transform”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, StrReplace, Bash(yarn nx run:*), call_mcp_tool

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Define the migration
  2. Platform scope: one transform or two?
  3. Research usage (Sourcegraph + repo)
  4. Case matrix and user confirmation
  5. Implement transforms
  6. Tests and fixtures
  7. Preset manifest

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46d9e48. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • StrReplace
    • Bash(yarn nx run:*)
    • call_mcp_tool

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • yarn

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use yarn, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cds Migrator Transform loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,435 words (~3,367 tokens).

“Adds or updates a jscodeshift transform under packages/migrator/src/transforms/.”
