Bd To Br Migration

What it does

This skill automates the migration of BigData schema and data from a legacy system ("bd," or beads) to a new business intelligence reporting platform ("br," or beads_rust). It focuses on performing precise, mechanical transformations within files, ensuring complete and verified migrations by specifically addressing differences in git handling. The core philosophy is that changes should be behavioral, with everything else handled through find-and-replace operations.

When to use it

• Migrating individual files from the "bd" (beads) system to "br" (beads_rust).
• Ensuring complete migrations where incomplete transitions can lead to agents following outdated instructions and losing work.
• Automating repetitive find-and-replace tasks during a larger migration project.
• When strict adherence to transformation order is critical for successful migration.

Key capabilities

• Applies a series of ordered transformations within files.
• Replaces specific text patterns (e.g., "bd X" with "br X").
• Adds git commit steps after synchronization commands.
• Removes obsolete references to features no longer present in the target system.
• Includes verification checks using grep commands to ensure transformations are complete and accurate.

Example prompts

• “Migrate this file from bd (beads) to br (beads_rust).”
• "Apply the specified transforms to this document, ensuring that all 'bd' references are updated to 'br'."
• "Complete the migration of this file according to the provided transformation rules and verification steps."

Tips & gotchas

• Transformation Order Matters: The order of transformations is critical for a successful migration. Follow the specified sequence precisely.
• Verification is Key: Always run the included grep commands after applying transforms to confirm that all "bd" references have been removed and necessary replacements made.
• Single File Focus: This skill is designed primarily for migrating single files at a time, as defined by the decision tree in the source content.
