recursive-spine-migratelisted

Use when converting a repo's existing prose work-ledgers (status files, queue tables, gap/debt registers, follow-up files, deferral tails) into GitHub issues and milestones under the recursive-spine convention. Dry-run by default — inventories and proposes, writes nothing. Live mode files issues with back-links and produces a retirement checklist; never deletes history, never migrates closed work.

# recursive-spine: migrate Default mode is DRY-RUN. Live mode only when the user explicitly says so, and only after they have reviewed a dry-run report. ## Dry-run mode 1. **Inventory.** Find every prose artifact holding live work state: status files, playbook queue tables, gap/debt registers, follow-up files, "outstanding" sections, TODO tails in docs. Ask the user to confirm the list and name anything missed. Read each one fully. 2. **Classify every row** as one of: open work item / open gap / open debt / open deferral / closed-or-shipped (NOT migrated — git and archives remain the record for the past) / not-work-state (method text that stays). 3. **Propose the mapping** as a table: source (file + section) → proposed issue title, labels, milestone (existing or proposed-new with its narrative description), and the back-link line that will go in the issue body. Sliced in-flight work maps to a milestone with slice issues. 4. **Honest denominator.** End the report with: files read in full, files skipped (and why), rows classified vs. rows total per file. Never imply a complete sweep you didn't do. 5. Write the report to a file the user names (default `migrate-dry-run.md` in the repo's plan/docs area) and STOP. Writes to GitHub in dry-run mode are a violation of this skill. ## Live mode Preconditions: dry-run report reviewed by the user; repo already stamped by `recursive-spine-bootstrap` (labels exist). 1. File each approved mapping row
