Serpapi Upgrade Migration

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Performing dependency
• With migrate a SerpAPI client

Example prompts

• “migrate a SerpAPI client”
• “/serpapi-upgrade-migration”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js
• A credential in SERPAPI_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; dependency installation, live comparison, and production rollout require repository and account-owner approval
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit, Bash(python3:*), Bash(npm:*)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pin the baseline and inventory package names, versions, imports, engine-specific classes, callbacks, result conversions, pagination…
2. 2Re-fetch target release notes and build a behavior matrix for requests, result type, archive access, pagination, and exceptions.
3. 3Add an application-owned gateway and run both implementations against the same sanitized fixtures.
4. 4Update Python code from legacy engine classes to current client calls, or JavaScript callbacks to the chosen promise/callback form…
5. 5Regenerate the dependency lock and run static, unit, fixture, failure-path, and packaging tests.
6. 6With approval, compare one harmless live request through each path or use a single captured response when duplicate searches are…
7. 7Canary the new path behind a flag, reconcile outputs and capacity, then remove the legacy dependency only after rollback criteria hold.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • WebFetch
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(python3:*)
  • Bash(npm:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • SERPAPI_KEY

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

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code; dependency installation, live comparison, and production rollout require repository and account-owner approval

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Serpapi Upgrade Migration loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~64

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

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

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.
