Nginx to gateway

nginx-to-gateway Skill

Invoked by Zeus pipeline *nginx-to-gateway.

What this skill does NOT do

• No DNS scripts. No cluster apply. No auto-commit.
• No state merging — each sub-skill owns its own state file.
• No re-validation of A's outputs — B's classifier reads them fresh.

Sub-skills invoked

Phase	Skill	Notes
A	nginx-to-traefik	invoked with the env (or env+batch) passed by operator
B	gateway-api-migration	invoked with --source-class traefik --no-redirect --gateway-class <chosen> --source-state <A's state.yaml>

Activation

Triggered explicitly by *nginx-to-gateway from Zeus. Not auto-triggered.

Step flow

Step	Action	Halt condition
C.0	Merged tool check (A's Step 0 ∪ B's Step 0)	any required tool missing
C.1	Create chain run-dir docs/reports/nginx-to-gateway/<slug>/ with index.yaml	dir exists without --force
C.2	Invoke skill A as a subroutine (writes its own state.yaml + report)	A's HALT
C.3	Read A's outputs.traefikIngresses[]; record A's state path in chain index.yaml.phaseA	A produced zero outputs
C.4	Invoke skill B with --source-class traefik --no-redirect --gateway-class <chosen> --source-state <A's state.yaml>	B's HALT
C.5	Render combined index.md from references/chain-report-template.md	informational

Step C.0 — Tool check

Run command -v for: kustomize, yq, git, python3, kubectl, jq. HALT on any missing.

Step C.1 — Create chain run-dir

Slug format: <env>-<isodate>-<ulid> where ULID is generated locally. Path: docs/reports/nginx-to-gateway/<slug>/. Initial index.yaml:

schemaVersion: 1
skillVersion: "1.0.0"
chainId: <ulid>
env: <env>
gatewayClass: <gatewayClass>
createdAt: <iso>
phaseA: { status: pending }
phaseB: { status: pending }
verdict: IN_PROGRESS

If the directory exists and --force is not set, HALT.

Step C.2 — Invoke skill A

Spawn skill nginx-to-traefik as a subroutine (same operator session). Pass through --resume if set. If skill A halts, set index.yaml.phaseA.status: failed, index.yaml.phaseB.status: blocked, index.yaml.verdict: FAIL, and HALT the chain.

If --skip-a was passed:

• Skip C.2.
• Operator must supply --phase-a-state <path> pointing at a completed skill A state.yaml. Validate the file: verdict: COMPLETE and at least one outputs.traefikIngresses[] entry. HALT otherwise.

Step C.3 — Hand-off

Read A's state file. Copy:

• state.yaml.outputs.traefikIngresses[] → index.yaml.phaseA.traefikIngresses
• state.yaml.steps."10".status → index.yaml.phaseA.cutover.status
• A's state path → index.yaml.phaseA.statePath
• A's report path → index.yaml.phaseA.reportPath

HALT if traefikIngresses[] is empty (A produced no outputs).

Step C.4 — Invoke skill B

Spawn skill gateway-api-migration with arguments:

gateway-migrate <common.service/overlays/<env>> \
  --source-class traefik \
  --no-redirect \
  --gateway-class <gatewayClass-from-C.1> \
  --source-state <index.yaml.phaseA.statePath>

If skill B halts, set index.yaml.phaseB.status: failed, index.yaml.verdict: FAIL. Resume re-runs C.4 only.

If --skip-b was passed, skip C.4 + C.5; set index.yaml.phaseB.status: skipped, index.yaml.verdict: COMPLETED_A_ONLY, HALT chain cleanly.

Step C.5 — Render combined report

Load references/chain-report-template.md. Substitute {{ ... }} variables from index.yaml. Write to index.md alongside index.yaml.

Set index.yaml.verdict: PASS if both phases completed, else COMPLETED_WITH_MANUAL_REVIEW if any sub-skill had WARN-level findings, else FAIL.

Failure semantics summary

• A halts → C halts immediately; B is not invoked; phaseB.status: blocked.
• B halts after A completed → A's outputs intact; resume runs B only (--skip-a).
• C halts after B completed but before rendering index → resume re-runs C.5 only.

Chain state file (index.yaml)

schemaVersion: 1
skillVersion: "1.0.0"
chainId: <ulid>
env: dev
gatewayClass: traefik
createdAt: 2026-05-14T10:00:00Z
phaseA:
  status: completed | failed | skipped
  statePath: docs/reports/nginx-to-traefik/<slug-a>/state.yaml
  reportPath: docs/reports/nginx-to-traefik/<slug-a>/report.md
  traefikIngresses: [...]
phaseB:
  status: completed | failed | skipped | blocked
  statePath: docs/reports/gateway-migration/<slug-b>/state.yaml
  reportPath: docs/reports/gateway-migration/<slug-b>/report.md
verdict: PASS | COMPLETED_WITH_MANUAL_REVIEW | COMPLETED_A_ONLY | FAIL

Note v1.11.0 vs v2.0.0: in v1.11.0 phase B writes to docs/reports/gateway-migration/. After the v2.0.0 rename, the path becomes docs/reports/ingress-to-gateway/. Skill C records whichever the sub-skill produces — no special-casing.
