swarm-migrate
Skill5 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Bring existing projects into the SwarmVault — register, mirror docs, optionally mine the repo into SDLC artifacts and resume the flow mid-phase (brownfield adoption). Use when the user wants existing projects migrated/connected to the vault, or an existing codebase placed into the SDLC flow.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 40
Never re-ask what the repo answers.
- Distinctive: line 46
Ask once (if unset): vault as default for new projects?
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

swarm-migrate — existing-project migration
Three tiers per project; each deeper tier is opt-in with its cost stated up front. Idempotent: re-running repairs, never duplicates.
1. Discover
List candidates: swarmvault.py register --import-claude covers Claude Code users'
~/.claude.json in one shot; otherwise the user names paths. Ask WHICH projects to
migrate (multi-select) and, per project, the isolation flag.
2. Immediate tier (cheap, always)
Per chosen project: register + marker → first sync (mirrors existing
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/README/docs and any existing memory; builds the MOC) → wire the
platforms they name with setup/wire (as swarm-init step 3; one command, no manual file
edits). The project is now queryable.
3. Digest tier (token-costing, opt-in)
State the rough cost first. Analyze the repo → 10 Projects/<P>/<P> Digest.md
(architecture, conventions, entry points — not generated, so sync preserves it) + seed
memories for footguns found in code comments/READMEs/issue notes.
4. SDLC adoption tier (most token-costing, opt-in) — place it IN the flow
Mine first, ask second (swarm-spec's brownfield mode does the work):
- Sources: README, docs/, existing plan/TODO files, issue exports, test suites, the code.
- Produce
docs/SRS.md+ feature specs markedstatus: mined-draft, every statement with provenance (file:line). - Detect the de-facto phase — e.g. "14 of 20 mined features implemented, no design doc" — and write flow-state accordingly.
- Gap interview via the question queue: only gaps, conflicts, low-confidence items. Never re-ask what the repo answers.
- Remaining work → tickets. From here
/swarm-flowresumes the project mid-phase like any SwarmVault project.
Close
Ask once (if unset): vault as default for new projects? Show the security disclaimer (swarm-init step 4) if this user hasn't seen it. Huge monorepo → scope the deep tiers to user-chosen subpaths. A project containing its own Obsidian vault → exclude that folder from doc mirroring (no vault-in-vault).
Influences: Jeffallan's spec-miner & legacy-modernizer; the original Claude Vault migration — see CREDITS.md.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
