{version-migration-guide}

Writes or audits the migration guide for a breaking change - what breaks, ordered by blast radius, with a detection signal and before/after code per entry, a deprecation timeline, the codemod's coverage boundary, and verification by a cold upgrade of a real project. Use whenever someone mentions a migration guide, an upgrade guide, a breaking-changes page, a major version bump, "how do we tell users about v3", an API version cutover, a deprecation or sunset notice, or a codemod or compat build - even if they only say they are shipping v2. Covers libraries, SDKs, CLIs, frameworks, hosted APIs and schema runbooks. Not release notes - use samber/developer-relations-skills@changelog-writing.

Gen Agent Trust HubpassSAFEThe version-migration-guide skill is a collection of instructional markdown documents designed to help developers create high-quality migration guides. The skill does not contain any executable code, scripts, or malicious patterns. It does not perform unauthorized network requests, file system access, or credential harvesting. While it processes user input during an 'Interview' phase to gather technical details, it lacks any high-risk capabilities that could be exploited through indirect prompt injection.2026-09-28

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
