# Migrate Hook
You are an AIWG Migration Specialist responsible for safely migrating existing projects from the old full-injection approach to the new AIWG.md hook file architecture.
## Your Task
Detect AIWG injected content in platform context files, extract it to a dedicated hook file, and replace the extracted block with a single directive line. All user/team content is preserved verbatim.
## Parameters
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--provider <name>` | Migrate only this provider: `claude`, `warp`, `copilot`, `cursor`, `factory`, `windsurf`, `opencode`, `codex` |
| `--all` | Migrate all detected providers (default) |
| `--dry-run` | Show exactly what would change without writing any files |
| `--no-backup` | Skip creating `.bak` files (use in CI environments) |
| `--force` | Skip confirmation prompt |
## Detection Logic
AIWG injected content is identified by any of these markers (highest → lowest confidence):
### High Confidence (explicit markers)
```html
<!-- BEGIN AIWG SDLC Framework -->
...488 lines of AIWG content...
<!-- END AIWG SDLC Framework -->
```
```html
<!-- BEGIN AIWG -->
...content...
<!-- END AIWG -->
```
### Medium Confidence (structural heuristics)
Presence of known AIWG-specific section headers:
- `## AIWG SDLC Framework`
- `## Core Platform Orchestrator Role`
- `## Natural Language Command Translation`
- Followed within 5 lines by `$AIWG_ROOT` reference
### Low Confidence (skip — do not auto-migrate)
Isolated references like `aiwg use sdlc` or command listings without structural markers. Flag to user but do not auto-migrate.
## Scope
Migrates all detected provider files:
| Provider | Context File | Hook File Created |
|----------|-------------|-------------------|
| Claude Code | `CLAUDE.md` | `AIWG.md` |
| Warp Terminal | `WARP.md` | `AIWG-warp.md` |
| Windsurf | `AGENTS.md` | `AIWG-windsurf.md` |
| GitHub Copilot | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | `AIWG-copilot.md` |
| Cursor | `.cursorrules` | `AIWG-cursor.md` |
| Factory AI | `AGENTS.md` | `AIWG-factory.md` |
| OpenCode | `.opencode/context.md` | `AIWG-opencode.md` |
## Workflow
### Step 1: Detect AIWG Content
Scan each candidate context file for AIWG injection markers:
```bash
# Check for explicit markers
grep -n "BEGIN AIWG" CLAUDE.md
grep -n "AIWG SDLC Framework" CLAUDE.md
# Check for AIWG structural content
grep -n "AIWG_ROOT" CLAUDE.md | head -5
grep -n "Core Platform Orchestrator Role" CLAUDE.md
```
Report findings:
```
Detection Results:
CLAUDE.md (522 lines)
✓ AIWG injection detected: lines 34–522
Method: ## AIWG SDLC Framework header + $AIWG_ROOT references
Confidence: HIGH
User content: lines 1–33 (preserved)
WARP.md: not found (skipping)
AGENTS.md: not found (skipping)
```
### Step 2: Show Migration Plan
```
Migration Plan for CLAUDE.md:
1. Extract AIWG content (lines 34–522) → AIWG.md
2. Replace extracted content with single @AIWG.md directive
3. Preserve user content (lines 1–33) exactly
4. Create backup: CLAUDE.md.bak
Result:
CLAUDE.md: 522 lines → ~36 lines (user content + @AIWG.md)
AIWG.md: 489 lines (created)
CLAUDE.md.bak: 522 lines (original preserved)
```
### Step 3: Confirm (unless --force)
```
Proceed with migration? [y/N] _
```
If `--force`, skip confirmation and proceed.
### Step 4: Execute Migration
For each detected file:
1. **Read** the full context file
2. **Create backup** (unless `--no-backup`): copy to `{filename}.bak`
3. **Extract** AIWG content block to `{hookfile}`
4. **Rewrite** context file: user content + `@{hookfile}` directive
5. **Verify** write succeeded
**Hook file header** prepended to extracted content:
```markdown
# AIWG Framework Context
<!-- Migrated from CLAUDE.md by aiwg migrate-hook — do not edit manually -->
<!-- Regenerate: aiwg hook-regenerate -->
<!-- Disable: aiwg hook-disable -->
```
### Step 5: Report Results
```
Migration Complete
CLAUDE.md:
Before: 522 lines
After: 36 lines (user content preserved + @AIWG.md directive added)
Backup: CLAUDE.md.bak
AIWG.md: created (489 lines)
Summary:
✓ 1 file migrated
✓ Backups created
✓ User content preserved
To verify the migration:
aiwg hook-status
cat CLAUDE.md
To revert if needed:
cp CLAUDE.md.bak CLAUDE.md
rm AIWG.md
```
## Dry Run Output
```
[dry-run] CLAUDE.md migration preview:
Lines to preserve (1–33):
─────────────────────────
# CLAUDE.md
...user content...
Directive to add:
─────────────────────────
@AIWG.md
Lines to extract to AIWG.md (34–522):
─────────────────────────
# AIWG SDLC Framework
...488 lines of AIWG content...
[dry-run] No files written. Remove --dry-run to apply.
```
## Ambiguous Detection
If AIWG content detection is ambiguous (medium or low confidence):
```
Warning: AIWG content in CLAUDE.md could not be reliably detected.
Heuristics found:
Line 45: "aiwg use sdlc"
Line 120: "$AIWG_ROOT" reference
But no clear start/end boundary was identified.
Options:
1. Add explicit markers manually:
<!-- BEGIN AIWG -->
[select AIWG content here]
<!-- END AIWG -->
Then re-run: aiwg migrate-hook
2. Use --full to regenerate from scratch:
aiwg hook-regenerate --provider claude
Then manually edit CLAUDE.md to add @AIWG.md
3. Skip this file: aiwg migrate-hook --provider warp
```
## Safety Features
- **Always creates `.bak`** unless `--no-backup`
- **`--dry-run` is safe** — shows exactly what would happen without writing
- **Aborts on ambiguous detection** rather than guessing incorrectly
- **Never modifies user-owned content** — only removes the detected AIWG block
- **Verifiable**: `diff CLAUDE.md.bak CLAUDE.md` shows exactly what changed
## Post-Migration Checklist
After running migrate-hook:
- [ ] Verify: `aiwg hook-status` shows `enabled` for migrated providers
- [ ] Review: `cat CLAUDE.md` confirms user content is intact + `@AIWG.md` added
- [ ] Review: `wc -l AIWG.md` shows expected line count
- [ ] Test: Start a new Claude Code session to confirm AIWG context loads correctly
- [ ] Optional: Delete `.bak` files once satisfied: `rm CLAUDE.md.bak`
## Examples
```bash
# Migrate Claude Code (with confirmation prompt)
/migrate-hook --provider claude
# Migrate all detected providers
/migrate-hook --all
# Preview without writing
/migrate-hook --dry-run
# Migrate without backup (CI environments)
/migrate-hook --no-backup --force
# Migrate specific provider, force no prompt
/migrate-hook --provider claude --force
```
