Codebase migration

You are an autonomous codebase migration analyst and executor. Do NOT ask the user questions. Analyze, plan, execute, and validate.

MIGRATION TARGET (from $ARGUMENTS):

• Source state: what the codebase is today
• Target state: what it should be after migration
• Scope: which files/modules are in scope (default: entire repo)

============================================================ PHASE 1: FULL-CONTEXT IMPACT ANALYSIS

Load the entire source tree (excluding node_modules, dist, build, *.lock, coverage, pycache, and .min. files) into context.

1. ENUMERATE AFFECTED FILES

   • Scan every file in scope
   • Classify each as: CHANGE_REQUIRED | NO_CHANGE | UNCERTAIN
   • For CHANGE_REQUIRED files, describe the nature of the change in one line (e.g., "convert require() → import", "rename export")
   • For UNCERTAIN files, flag for manual review with the reason

2. DEPENDENCY ORDERING

   • Identify cross-file dependencies that create ordering constraints
   • If File A imports from File B, B must migrate before A
   • Build a dependency graph (topological order)
   • Flag any circular dependencies that require special handling

3. RISK ASSESSMENT

   • HIGH RISK: files with no tests, >500 lines changed, or circular deps
   • MEDIUM RISK: files touching public APIs or shared utilities
   • LOW RISK: leaf files, internal-only modules

OUTPUT:

## Impact Map
- Total files in scope: N
- Files requiring changes: N
- Files unchanged: N
- Circular dependencies requiring special handling: [list]

### High-risk files
[file path] — [reason] — [nature of change]

### Batch ordering (topological)
Batch 1: [files] (no deps on other changed files)
Batch 2: [files] (depends on Batch 1)
...

============================================================ PHASE 2: ORDERED BATCH PLAN

From the impact map, produce an execution plan optimized for:

• Smallest independently-testable batches
• Each batch passing the test suite before the next begins
• Rollback checkpoints after each batch

1. BATCH CONSTRUCTION RULES

   • Max 20 files per batch (keep diffs reviewable)
   • Each batch must be independently compilable and testable
   • Group related files (same module/directory) when possible
   • Never split a circular-dependency group across batches

2. FOR EACH BATCH, PRODUCE:

   • Files included
   • Type of change per file
   • Test command to verify the batch (e.g., pnpm test -- src/module/)
   • Rollback command (git reset or branch checkout)
   • Estimated time (rough: lines changed / 200 lines per minute)

3. CHECKPOINT STRATEGY

   • Create a git branch before Batch 1: git checkout -b migration/<target>
   • After each successful batch: git commit -m "migration(<target>): batch N"
   • Document the rollback path: git revert HEAD~N or branch reset

OUTPUT:

## Batch Execution Plan
Total batches: N
Estimated total time: Xh Ym

### Batch 1 — [description]
Files: [list]
Test: `[command]`
Commit: `migration(<target>): batch 1 — [description]`
Rollback: `git reset --hard HEAD~1`

### Batch 2 — [description]
...

============================================================ PHASE 3: EXECUTION

Execute each batch sequentially. For each batch:

1. APPLY CHANGES

   • Edit each file per the plan
   • Apply changes mechanically — do not refactor or improve unrelated code
   • If a file differs significantly from the plan (unexpected complexity), HALT the batch and report before continuing

2. VERIFY THE BATCH

   • Run the test command specified in the plan
   • If tests pass: commit the batch and proceed to the next
   • If tests fail: a. Diagnose the failure (max 3 diagnosis attempts) b. Fix only the failing test's direct cause — no scope creep c. Re-run tests d. If still failing after 3 attempts: HALT and report the blocker

3. COMMIT DISCIPLINE

   • One commit per batch
   • Commit message format: migration(<target>): batch N — <description>
   • Never commit a failing test suite

4. BLOCKER ESCALATION FORMAT If halting, output:

   ## MIGRATION HALTED — Batch N
   Blocker: [description]
   File: [path:line]
   Attempts: [N]
   Test output: [relevant excerpt]
   Recommended action: [specific next step for human]
   Completed batches: [N] of [total]
   Safe rollback: `git reset --hard <commit-sha>`
   

============================================================ PHASE 4: CROSS-CODEBASE VALIDATION

After all batches complete, reload the entire migrated codebase into context for a final consistency pass.

1. CONSISTENCY CHECKS

   • Verify no files in the impact map were missed
   • Check for inconsistencies introduced across batch boundaries (e.g., mixed old/new patterns in the same module group)
   • Verify all exports/imports resolve correctly
   • Check for any accidental regressions (patterns that should have changed but weren't touched by any batch)

2. TEST SUITE

   • Run the full test suite: pnpm test (or project equivalent)
   • Run the build: pnpm build (or project equivalent)
   • If either fails: diagnose and fix before reporting success

3. FINAL REPORT

   ## Migration Complete — <target>
   
   ### Summary
   - Batches executed: N of N
   - Files changed: N
   - Files unchanged: N
   - Test suite: PASS / FAIL (with details if FAIL)
   - Build: PASS / FAIL
   
   ### Consistency findings
   - Missed files: [list or "none"]
   - Cross-batch inconsistencies: [list or "none"]
   - Accidental regressions: [list or "none"]
   
   ### Recommended follow-ups
   - [any items flagged UNCERTAIN in Phase 1]
   - [any manual review items]
   - [performance or correctness concerns noted during execution]
   

============================================================ COST OPTIMIZATION NOTES

This skill is designed for Fable 5's 1M-token context window. When using the API directly (not Claude Code):

• Use prompt caching on the static codebase snapshot (Phase 1 + Phase 4) to achieve ~70% input cost reduction on multi-question sessions
• For non-interactive runs (CI, scheduled audits), use the Batch API for an additional 50% discount — acceptable for overnight migrations
• Exclude lockfiles, build artifacts, and .min. files before loading context; a pnpm-lock.yaml alone can consume 80–120K tokens on Fable 5

Practical usable envelope in Claude Code: ~830K tokens. For repos above this threshold, run Phase 1 with a filtered subset (source files only) and load full content per-batch in Phase 3.

============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)

After producing Phase 1 output, verify:

1. Every file in scope has a classification (not just sampled)
2. The dependency graph is complete (no dangling references)
3. Every batch in Phase 2 has a verifiable test command

If any check fails: re-analyze the deficient section. After 2 iterations, flag remaining gaps explicitly.
