# Migration Guide Writer
## What this skill does
This skill produces a structured, developer-friendly migration guide for any upgrade that involves breaking changes. Given the old and new versions of an API, library, or framework, it documents every breaking change with before/after code examples, produces a step-by-step migration checklist, calls out known gotchas, and estimates effort. The result is documentation your users can follow without needing to dig through release notes themselves.
Use this when releasing a major version of a library, upgrading a critical dependency, or documenting a framework migration (e.g., React Router v5 → v6, Next.js 13 → 14, Postgres 15 → 16).
## How to use
### Claude Code / Cline
Copy this file to `.agents/skills/migration-guide-writer/SKILL.md` in your project root.
Then ask:
- *"Use the Migration Guide Writer skill to document the changes from v1 to v2 of our SDK."*
- *"Write a migration guide for upgrading from React Router v5 to v6 using the Migration Guide Writer skill."*
Provide the changelog, breaking change list, or old vs. new API code. The more context you give, the more accurate the guide.
### Cursor
Add the "Prompt / Instructions" section to your `.cursorrules` file. Open both the old and new API files (or paste the changelog) and ask Cursor to write the migration guide.
### Codex
Paste the old API code and the new API code (or a changelog listing breaking changes) along with the instructions below.
