What it does

Commandkit Legacy Migration is an agent skill from neplexlabs/commandkit. Migrate existing projects off @commandkit/legacy to modern CommandKit patterns. This skill is migration-only and must not promote new legacy adoption.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/00-filesystem-structure.md` and `references/01-legacy-plugin-detection.md`).

The repository describes itself as: The discord.js meta-framework with features such as AI-powered command handler, analytics, feature flags, and more. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/commandkit-legacy-migration”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect legacy dependencies and plugin usage.
  2. Inventory parity requirements.
  3. Migrate incrementally by domain/feature slices.
  4. Remove legacy() only after parity validation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d771e6b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Commandkit Legacy Migration loads about 415 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~415
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

CommandKit Legacy Migration

Activation guidance

Use only when legacy plugin usage already exists.

Required filesystem expectations

  • legacy and modern structures may coexist during phased migration
  • target end state uses src/app/commands/** and src/app/events/**

Execution workflow

  1. Detect legacy dependencies and plugin usage.
  2. Inventory parity requirements.
  3. Migrate incrementally by domain/feature slices.
  4. Remove legacy() only after parity validation.

Guardrails

  • Never recommend new legacy adoption.
  • Keep migration commits small and verifiable.
