Migrate -- Version Upgrade System

This skill handles version-to-version upgrades using sequential, idempotent migration steps. Each version transition has a dedicated reference file containing Check/Action/Verify steps, making migrations safe to re-run on partial completions and easy to extend for future versions.

1. Version Detection

Current Installed Version

Primary method: Find the installed version directory.

ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ai-launchpad/personal-assistant/

List directories, find the highest version number, and read its .claude-plugin/plugin.json to get the version field.

Fallback fingerprinting (when plugin.json is not reliable):

Target Version

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.claude-plugin/plugin.json to get the version of the plugin source being installed.

If current == target: report "Already current. Run /evolve to check for platform upgrades." and stop.

2. Migration Chain

List available migration files from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/migrations/. Each file is named vX.Y.Z-to-vA.B.C.md.

Parse filenames to build an ordered chain from current version to target version.

Example: if current is v1.10.0 and target is v2.1.0, chain is: v1.10.0 -> v2.0.0, v2.0.0 -> v2.1.0.

For each migration in the chain, read its ## Summary section and present the plan:

Migration path: v1.10.0 -> v2.0.0 -> v2.1.0
 
Step 1 (v1.10.0 -> v2.0.0):
- Replaces UserPromptSubmit hook with native rules delivery
- ~95% token savings
 
Step 2 (v2.0.0 -> v2.1.0):
- [summary from file]
 
Proceed?

Wait for user confirmation before continuing.

3. Backup

Create a timestamped backup before making any changes:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/.context-backups/ && cp -r ~/.claude/.context/ ~/.claude/.context-backups/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)/

Verify backup was created:

ls -la ~/.claude/.context-backups/

REQUIRED: DO NOT proceed if backup fails. This is a hard gate.

4. Execute Migration Chain

For each migration in the chain:

1. Read the migration reference file from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/migrations/
2. For each step in the ## Steps section:

• Run the Check command -- if it exits 0, the step is already done, skip it
• Run the Action command
• Run the Verify command -- if it fails, stop immediately and report the failure

1. After each migration file completes, report: "Migration vX.Y.Z -> vA.B.C complete. N steps executed, M skipped (already done)."

If any step fails:

• Stop immediately
• Report which step failed and the error
• Provide restore instructions: cp -r ~/.claude/.context-backups/[timestamp]/ ~/.claude/.context/

5. Verify and Report

After all migrations complete, verify the final state:

ls -la ~/.claude/rules/elle-core.md
ls ~/.claude/.context/core/

Present final report:

Migration Complete!
 
Path: vX.Y.Z -> ... -> vA.B.C
Backup: ~/.claude/.context-backups/[timestamp]/
Steps executed: N
Steps skipped (already done): M
 
Your data: 100% preserved. All personal context untouched.

If rules-affecting changes were made (rules/, elle-core.md, context files), suggest running /sync-context.

6. Migration File Format

Each file at references/migrations/vX.Y.Z-to-vA.B.C.md follows this format:

# Migration: vX.Y.Z -> vA.B.C
 
## Summary
-[1-3 bullet points describing what this migration does]
 
## Breaking Changes
-[List any breaking changes, or "None"]
 
## Steps
 
### 1. [Step name]
**Check:** `[shell command -- if exits 0, skip this step]`
**Action:** `[shell command to execute]`
**Verify:** `[shell command -- must exit 0 to continue]`

Each step MUST have all three fields (Check, Action, Verify). The Check field makes steps idempotent -- safe to re-run on partially completed migrations.
