What it does

Migrate is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Migration workflow - research → analyze → plan → implement → review

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/migrate”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Research Target
  2. Analyze Current State
  3. Plan Migration
  4. Implement
  5. Review Migration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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

Migrate loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

/migrate - Migration Workflow

Safe migrations for frameworks, languages, and infrastructure.

When to Use

  • "Migrate to X"
  • "Upgrade framework"
  • "Move from X to Y"
  • "Upgrade Python/Node/etc."
  • "Migrate database"
  • Framework version upgrades
  • Language migrations
  • Infrastructure changes

Why Extra Gates?

Migrations are high-risk:

  • Breaking changes between versions
  • Dependency conflicts
  • Data format changes
  • API deprecations

The extra research and review phases catch issues early.

Execution

Phase 1: Research Target
Task(
  subagent_type="oracle",
  prompt="""
  Research migration target: [TARGET]

  Investigate:
  - Breaking changes from current version
  - New APIs and patterns
  - Deprecated features we use
  - Migration guides from official docs
  - Common pitfalls and solutions

  Output: Migration research report
  """
)
Phase 2: Analyze Current State
Task(
  subagent_type="phoenix",
  prompt="""
  Analyze codebase for migration: [FROM] → [TO]

  Identify:
  - Files using deprecated APIs
  - Dependency conflicts
  - Patterns that need updating
  - Test coverage of affected areas
  - Risk areas (critical paths)

  Output: Impact analysis with affected files
  """
)
Phase 3: Plan Migration
Task(
  subagent_type="plan-agent",
  prompt="""
  Create migration plan: [FROM] → [TO]

  Research: [from oracle]
  Impact: [from phoenix]

  Plan should:
  - Be phased (incremental if possible)
  - Each phase independently testable
  - Include rollback strategy
  - Prioritize critical path stability

  Output: Phased migration plan
  """
)
Phase 4: Implement
Task(
  subagent_type="kraken",
  prompt="""
  Implement migration phase: [PHASE_N]

  Plan: [from plan-agent]

  Requirements:
  - Follow plan exactly
  - Run tests after each change
  - Document any deviations
  - Stop if tests fail

  Output: Completed phase with test results
  """
)
Phase 5: Review Migration
Task(
  subagent_type="surveyor",
  prompt="""
  Review migration: [FROM] → [TO]

  Check:
  - All deprecated APIs replaced
  - No remaining compatibility shims
  - Tests passing
  - Performance acceptable
  - No security regressions

  Output: Migration review report
  """
)

Migration Types

Framework Upgrade
User: /migrate React 17 → 18
→ Full workflow with hooks/concurrent mode changes
Language Version
User: /migrate Python 3.9 → 3.12
→ Focus on new syntax, removed features
Database Migration
User: /migrate MongoDB → PostgreSQL
→ Schema design, data transformation, query rewrite
Infrastructure
User: /migrate AWS → GCP
→ Service mapping, config translation

Example

User: /migrate from Express to Fastify

Claude: Starting /migrate workflow: Express → Fastify

Phase 1: Researching Fastify...
[Spawns oracle]
Key differences:
- Schema-based validation (vs middleware)
- Plugin architecture
- Async/await native
- Different middleware pattern

Phase 2: Analyzing current Express usage...
[Spawns phoenix]
Impact analysis:
- 23 route files to update
- 8 middleware to convert
- 3 plugins need Fastify equivalents
- Test coverage: 78%

Phase 3: Creating migration plan...
[Spawns plan-agent]

Migration Plan: Express → Fastify
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Phase 1: Setup & Core
- Add Fastify alongside Express
- Migrate core server setup
- Run both in parallel

Phase 2: Routes (by domain)
- Migrate auth routes
- Migrate user routes
- Migrate product routes
- ...

Phase 3: Middleware
- Convert error handler
- Convert auth middleware
- Convert logging

Phase 4: Cleanup
- Remove Express
- Remove compatibility layer
- Final testing

Rollback: Keep Express until Phase 4 complete

Phase 4: Implementing Phase 1...
[Spawns kraken]
✅ Fastify server running alongside Express
✅ Core routes migrated
✅ Tests passing

[Continues through phases...]

Phase 5: Reviewing migration...
[Spawns surveyor]
✅ All Express code removed
✅ 23/23 routes migrated
✅ Performance improved (2.1x faster)
✅ No security regressions

Migration complete! Express → Fastify

Incremental Migration

For large codebases, run one phase at a time:

User: /migrate React 17 → 18 --phase 1
[Runs only Phase 1]

User: /migrate React 17 → 18 --phase 2
[Runs Phase 2, reads previous handoff]

Flags

  • --phase N: Run specific phase only
  • --dry-run: Plan without implementing
  • --rollback: Execute rollback plan
  • --parallel: Run new alongside old (strangler fig)
