Lisa Wiki Migrate

lisa-wiki-migrate

Move a repo's bespoke wiki onto the kernel without breaking it or producing one giant diff. Each phase is a reviewable change; nothing legacy is deleted until its replacement is parity-checked.

Migration invariant — rename, never lose

Any unique command, ingest path, or role is migrated as though created via /add-ingest (front-door skill) or /add-role (subagent); wiki-ingest aliases (*-wiki-ingest, custom /ingest routers, …) are renamed to the canonical /ingest. Loss of functionality or data is not acceptable — for each migrated artifact, run the old path and the new path and diff the output before deleting the old one.

Phases (per repo; one reviewable change each)

• 0 — Inventory. Profile the repo: mode, root, categories, frontmatter coverage, log/index format, source dirs, state files, connectors, runtime surfaces, MCP config, scripts, PR policy. Write a pre/post manifest mapping every legacy page, source note, doc, command, ingest path, role.
• 1 — Adopt kernel (no content rewrite). Add wiki/lisa-wiki.config.json, render the contract snapshot, add wiki/state/README.md, run validators in warning mode.
• 1b — Documentation absorption & structure. scripts/absorb-docs.mjs moves the host repo's own docs (docs/, specs/, top-level docs) into wiki/documentation/, ingests them, and conforms to the structure manifest; scripts/rewrite-refs.mjs rewrites every internal link/citation/index entry (zero dangling links). Keep-in-place files stay at conventional paths. Ask the README mode (default rich; stub only on explicit choice). Wrapper mode moves only host docs, never child-project docs. Idempotent (source fingerprints); parity-checked.
• 2 — Runtime consolidation. Replace duplicated local wiki skills with the plugin's; bespoke ones become /add-ingest front-doors or /add-role subagents. Claude commands become facades.
• 3 — Connector consolidation. Centralize shared connectors (e.g. Slack); keep org-specific ones as contrib/overlay.
• 4 — Normalize by touch. New/touched pages get frontmatter; new logs use the canonical table; legacy stays parseable until deliberately migrated.
• 5 — Hard enforcement. Flip validators to hard-fail (and enable CI) once the baseline is clean.

Finish

Run lisa-wiki-doctor --migration. The repo is not considered migrated until the verdict is READY (or a human-approved READY_WITH_WARNINGS). Roll back by reverting the migration change.
