What it does

Effect V3 To V4 is an agent skill from try-works/role-model. Use this skill when migrating a codebase from Effect v3 to Effect v4, upgrading effect or any @effect/ package across the v3/v4 boundary.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `PROVENANCE.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: role-model is a protocol for assigning the right model for the right job. Use local and cloud AI together, or route between several cloud providers.

When your agent uses it

  • Migrating a codebase from Effect v3 to Effect v4
  • Upgrading effect
  • Any @effect/ package across the v3/v4 boundary

Example prompts

  • “/effect-v3-to-v4”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set up and validate the local checkouts — two shallow clones; verify any pre-existing .repos/effect before trusting it. See Setup: Local…
  2. Read MIGRATION.md and ls .repos/effect/migration/ for the background and guide index. See Reading Order.
  3. Migrate package.json — remove consolidated packages, align every remaining Effect package on one v4 version. Do this before type-checking…
  4. Run the project's type-check (e.g. tsc --noEmit) to get the initial error inventory.
  5. Iterate until the type-check is clean. For each error, resolve the API through the lookup discipline — search migration/v3-to-v4.md for…
  6. Finish — type-check clean; run tests and report their outcome honestly (not a gate); write the final summary. See Done Condition.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de1c04a. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • rg
    • tsc
    • node

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Effect V3 To V4 loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 946 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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 946 words (~1,959 tokens).

“Drive an Effect v3 → v4 migration from the generated migration reference that ships in the Effect repo. Every rename, removal, and signature change is answered by upstream data — do not guess replacements.”
