name	vega-multi-tv-migration
description	Migrate Vega OS (Amazon Fire TV) applications to multi-platform React Native monorepo supporting Android TV, Apple TV, and other platforms. Covers analysis, implementation, and native module integration. Use when migrating TV apps to support multiple platforms or building new multi-platform TV applications.

Vega Multi-Platform Migration

Overview

Migrate Vega OS (Fire TV) apps to multi-platform React Native monorepo with 70-85% code reuse across Android TV, Apple TV, and Vega OS.

When to Apply

Use this skill when user mentions:

• Migrating Vega/Fire TV app to other platforms
• Building multi-platform TV application
• Converting single-platform TV app to monorepo
• Adding Android TV or Apple TV support
• Sharing code between TV platforms
• Setting up Yarn workspaces for TV apps

Phase Priority Guide

Priority	Phase	Impact	When to Use
1	Analysis	CRITICAL	Starting migration, no existing analysis
2	Implementation	CRITICAL	Have analysis, need monorepo structure
3	Platform Support	HIGH	Have working Vega monorepo, adding platforms
4	Configuration	MEDIUM	Troubleshooting build/resolution issues

Quick Decision Tree

User has existing Vega app?
├─ YES → Do they have migration analysis?
│  ├─ NO → Start Phase 1 (Analysis)
│  └─ YES → Is monorepo set up?
│     ├─ NO → Start Phase 2 (Implementation)
│     └─ YES → Start Phase 3 (Platform Support)
└─ NO → Starting from scratch?
   └─ YES → Skip Phase 1, start Phase 2 with new project

Quick Reference

Critical: Project Structure

# Verify monorepo structure exists
ls -la packages/shared packages/vega packages/expotv

# Check Yarn workspaces configured
grep -A5 "workspaces:" package.json

Critical: Dependency Classification

Common patterns for analysis:

• Shared: Business logic, UI components, utilities, state management
• Platform-specific: Navigation, video players, DRM, native modules
• VMRP-compatible: Standard RN libraries that map to Vega equivalents

High: VMRP Configuration

Quick check if VMRP is working:

# Should see @vega-tv/react-native-module-resolver-preset
grep "vmrp" packages/vega/babel.config.js

References

Phase 1: Analysis (analysis-*)

File	Impact	Description
PHASE1_ANALYSIS.md	CRITICAL	Codebase analysis, dependency classification, migration planning

Use when: Starting migration, no existing analysis document

Phase 2: Implementation (impl-*)

File	Impact	Description
PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md	CRITICAL	Monorepo scaffolding, code migration, VMRP setup with template references

Use when: Have analysis, ready to build monorepo structure

Phase 3: Platform Support (platform-*)

File	Impact	Description
PHASE3_PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md	HIGH	Android TV and Apple TV implementation

Use when: Have working Vega monorepo, adding new platforms

Templates

All configuration templates in assets/templates/ with companion .md docs:

• root-package.json - Yarn workspaces setup
• root-tsconfig.json - TypeScript project references
• yarnrc.yml - Dependency deduplication (CRITICAL)
• shared-package.json + .md - Shared package config with rules
• vega-metro.config.js - Vega Metro with monorepo resolution
• expotv-package.json + .md - Expo TV package config
• expotv-app.json + .md - Expo TV configuration with plugins
• expotv-metro.config.js - Expo Metro with TV extensions

Problem → Skill Mapping

Problem	Start With
Need to analyze existing Vega app	PHASE1_ANALYSIS.md
Have analysis, need monorepo setup	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → templates
Monorepo exists, adding Android TV	PHASE3_PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md
Metro resolution errors	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → Metro config
Duplicate React versions	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → .yarnrc.yml
VMRP not mapping imports	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → VMRP section
TypeScript path errors	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → TypeScript config
Native module integration	PHASE3_PLATFORM_SUPPORT.md → Native Modules
Build configuration issues	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md → Configuration Files
Starting from scratch	PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md (skip Phase 1)

Workflow

1. Use the decision tree above to determine the starting phase
2. Load the appropriate reference file for that phase
3. Follow Quick Start → Deep Dive pattern in each reference
4. Verify at each phase's checkpoint before moving to the next phase
5. Use VALIDATION_CHECKLIST.md for comprehensive verification
