Migration Helper

What it does

This skill provides a migration helper designed to assist developers in transitioning projects to the Convex platform. It streamlines the process of moving existing codebases, ensuring compatibility and reducing manual configuration errors during the switch.

When to use it

• You are planning to migrate an existing application from another backend service to Convex.
• Your team needs automated guidance to refactor legacy code for serverless functions and real-time subscriptions.
• You want to validate data schema changes before deploying a full production migration.
• You need a structured checklist to ensure no critical business logic is lost during the transition.

Key capabilities

• Automated analysis of current project architecture against Convex requirements.
• Generation of step-by-step migration plans tailored to specific tech stacks.
• Identification of potential breaking changes in database queries or authentication flows.
• Provision of code snippets for common migration patterns and data seeding.

Example prompts

• "Analyze my Node.js Express app and outline the steps to migrate it to Convex functions."
• "What are the main differences between my current SQL schema and a Convex table structure?"
• "Generate a script to seed initial user data into a new Convex database after migration."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your existing codebase is well-documented before running the helper, as it relies on understanding current dependencies. While the tool automates much of the process, manual review of generated migration scripts is essential to verify business logic integrity.
