About this Skill

Move consumers off old systems and remove obsolete code through explicit migration phases and evidence. Identify active consumers, prove the replacement, migrate in reversible phases and remove the old path after usage checks.

Why we picked it

A task workflow in Addy's Agent Skills. Follow the upstream instructions and retain referenced shared files; host capabilities and project configuration determine which steps can run.

What it helps with

  • An API, service or production schema needs replacement or retirement.

Workflow and deliverables

Identify active consumers, prove the replacement, migrate in reversible phases and remove the old path after usage checks.

A migration path and guide, consumer-transition evidence and staged cleanup; schema changes use expand, backfill and contract phases.

Deprecation and Migration instructions

Install with the required references

Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.

Upstream overview and integrations

Before you use it

  • An Agent that can load Skill Markdown and access your project. File edits, shell commands, builds and checks depend on the selected workflow and its environment.
  • Use your project's own runtimes, dependencies and verification commands. The Skill files provide instructions and do not install those project tools.
  • Install the complete pack through a documented repository integration when shared references are needed. A per-skill skills CLI install copies only skills/<name>/ and can omit the repository-level references/ checklists; keep the needed shared files with the workflow.
