rp-execute-import

Execute the generated migration pipeline and capture import results.

Purpose

This skill runs the generated extract/import pipeline for the active project once setup and code generation are complete.

Required inputs

• generated code under migrations/<project>/src/
• migrations/<project>/execution/execution-manifest.json
• migrations/<project>/execution/llm-handoff.json
• migrations/<project>/execution/review/import-plan.md
• migrations/<project>/execution/review/code-safety-review.md when SAFE_MODE=true or DRY_RUN=true
• migrations/<project>/setup/setup-verification.json

Preconditions

Do not proceed until:

• setup verification shows required items are passed or accepted; an unrecovered blocker halts to needs-user
• reader, transform, and writer code exist for the intended entities
• execution artifacts define batching, retries, checkpoints, and write order clearly
• when SAFE_MODE=true or DRY_RUN=true, the post-codegen code-safety review exists and has been accepted before execution approval is sought
• the execution plan report has been presented and the user has accepted it (see below)

Prefer the machine-readable execution artifacts above. execution/review/import-plan.md is a human-facing review artifact, not the primary execution contract.

Before live import and again before final reporting, validate execution/review/import-plan.freshness.json with the deterministic freshness helper:

node skills/replatform/scripts/artifact-freshness.js check migrations/<project> \
  --domains-dir skills/replatform/resources/rp-target-wix/domains \
  --delta execution/review/import-plan-delta.md

If the check is stale, do not silently continue from the old approval text. Regenerate execution/review/import-plan.md or append and present execution/review/import-plan-delta.md; completion reports must reference the latest accepted plan or delta.

Execution plan & user acceptance (required gate)

This gate precedes all writes to the user's site — both rp-execute-setup provisioning and this import. Before writing anything, produce a human-readable execution plan report and obtain explicit user acceptance. Do not write anything until the user accepts. The report must show:

• Setup changes to be made first: apps to install (Blog / Members / Wix-Data enabler), Wix Data enablement, and collections to create — so the user sees the site changes, not just the content writes.

• What will be imported and where: each source entity → its Wix target (app or collection) with record counts — e.g. posts → Wix Blog (1088); episodes → PodcastEpisodes (86); categories/tags → Blog taxonomies; media → Media Manager (~1499). Make media reporting explicit:

  • referenced media imported through entity-native background ingestion
  • referenced media imported through Media Manager first
  • unattached media skipped by default unless explicitly in scope

• What will NOT migrate cleanly / needs manual action: the lossy and blocked items, drawn from the mapping plan's faithfulness ledger and any setup/setup-verification.json items still manual or blocked — e.g. category hierarchy flattened, comments anonymized, drafts absent without auth, storage-plan upgrade required. This must also include any target with no verified Wix primitive — state whether it falls back to a generic CMS collection, to an unverified/best-effort runtime-derived call, or is skipped. Nothing unverified or lossy may be written without first appearing here for consent. Coupons follow the same native-first rule as other native Wix entities: prefer native Wix Coupons, and mention CMS fallback only for truly unsupported coupon semantics.

  • Always state the analytics-data exclusion explicitly. Historical analytics data — traffic / visitor stats accumulated on the source — is out of scope and is not imported (see "Out of scope" below). Call this out in the plan so the user knows before accepting that analytics data will not migrate; do not let it pass silently.

• Order & idempotency: the write order and how re-runs dedupe. Be explicit that source IDs are the stable migration key, while many native Wix target IDs are server-assigned. The plan must state whether each entity re-run resolves via a client-controlled source-id field on the target or via the durable local sourceId -> targetId crosswalk. The plan must state the crosswalk authority (local) and CMS mirror mode (none, download, upload, or download-and-upload).

• URL preservation: for public routed entities, state that source URL artifacts will be captured locally under . List the public entity types whose base paths and slugs will be tracked, any entity whose target route is deferred to the website-builder phase, and whether redirects will be recorded as plans. The current import phase must say that redirects and site routing are .

Persist this in execution/review/import-plan.md (or a sibling report). This is the defined approval checkpoint: the job pauses, surfaces the plan to the user, and resumes only on accept. Nothing is written before acceptance.

If SAFE_MODE=true or DRY_RUN=true, this execution-plan approval gate comes only after the separate post-codegen code-safety review checkpoint has passed. Do not merge the two checkpoints into one prompt.

Out of scope — analytics (future enhancement)

Do not attempt to import analytics data. Historical traffic / visitor statistics — the accumulated analytics records on the source (page views, sessions, visitor counts, time-series reports) — are not part of the migration. Do not generate readers, transforms, or writers for them. (This is about the data, not analytics configuration/setup such as tracking tags — that is a separate concern and not what this exclusion covers.)

• Surface it before execute. This exclusion must appear in the execution-plan report's "What will NOT migrate" list (see the gate above) so the user is told before they accept and we begin writing — not discovered afterward.
• Future enhancement. Analytics migration is a deferred scope item, not a permanent limitation. If/when a faithful source→Wix analytics path exists, revisit and lift this exclusion. Until then, treat analytics as explicitly skipped.

Execute the generated scripts — never an agentic MCP flow (required)

The import is performed by running the generated artifact (node the project's entrypoint under migrations/<project>/src/), which writes to Wix via its own transport (fetch + injected credentials to www.wixapis.com, or the Wix client SDK). The agent must not perform the import writes itself by issuing per-record Wix MCP calls (CallWixSiteAPI) and hand-translating shapes.

(Scope: this rule is import-specific. Setup execution (rp-execute-setup) may currently use the agent+MCP for provisioning writes — an interim decision, with other options still under discussion.)

Why the import must run the artifact:

• Reproducibility & idempotency. Re-runs, resume-from-checkpoint, write ordering, and dedup keyed by source ID live in the artifact. For native Wix entities whose target IDs are server-assigned, that means the artifact must maintain and consult the local state/crosswalk/crosswalk.ndjson authority. An agent reconstructing writes ad hoc bypasses all of it — a bulk, restartable data pipeline can't be driven by hand per record.
• Verified shapes. The artifact calls rp-target-wix's verified primitives. An agent rebuilding request bodies live re-opens the exact shape-bug class we eliminated (Ricos plugin enum case, oversized-HTML tag body, heroImage.id).
• MCP may be absent at runtime. Interactively-authenticated MCP servers can be missing in headless/cron runs, so MCP can't be depended on as the write transport regardless of whether the runtime is a pure script-runner or an agent. Either way the writes should flow through the tested artifact, not be reconstructed by the model.
• Validation honesty. Writing by hand via MCP leaves the artifact's own auth, request execution, async-media polling, retry, and checkpoint code unexercised — a green test then says nothing about the path real users get. The Wix MCP's role here is grounding/verification at codegen time and the one-time live contract test in rp-target-wix, not the import transport.

Consequence for credentials: the artifact needs real Wix write credentials to run. If they are absent, halt to needs-user — do not substitute the agent's MCP account auth to "get the writes done." Missing credentials is a blocker to surface, not a path to route around.

This skill should execute the machine import artifacts and generated entrypoints. It should not re-decide write strategy live when execution/execution-manifest.json already defines the ordered task graph and write contract.

Config files

Before running the generated entrypoint, verify the project-local config files exist and contain required values:

• migrations/<project>/config/wix.env
  • WIX_SITE_STRATEGY
  • WIX_SITE_ID
  • WIX_AUTH_TOKEN or another generated-code-supported Wix auth key
  • DRY_RUN
  • SAFE_MODE
  • SAFE_MODE_PHONE_NUMBER when SAFE_MODE is enabled
• migrations/<project>/config/source.<platform>.env
  • platform-specific source values, for example WordPress: WP_BASE_URL, WP_USERNAME, WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORD

The generated script should load these files and then allow process env to override them. WIX_SITE_STRATEGY is always required. WIX_SITE_ID is required before execution writes begin; if the strategy is new and the site has not been created yet, halt to needs-user and return to the site-creation step rather than assuming an existing-site flow. Never print secret values.

WIX_AUTH_TOKEN is the canonical Wix auth key in project-local config. It may have been used earlier for account-level site creation and may also power site-level writes when the generated runtime supports that same key. If the generated import path needs a different Wix credential, name that key explicitly in the generated artifacts.

If execution is blocked because a RePlatform new site + headless target was never created, route back to the Wix CLI headless scaffold step defined in replatform → "Headless site creation" (npm create @wix/new@latest headless). The account-level Projects API is deprecated for this workflow (it produced non-headless sites).

When the accepted next run is dry-run, missing or blank WIX_AUTH_TOKEN and WIX_SITE_ID are not blockers unless a local artifact requires the site ID as a stable namespace. Report them as would_block_live, do not mint a Wix CLI token for dry-run, and make the execution plan state that a later live run needs separate acceptance and valid credentials.

If DRY_RUN=true, do not override it with --no-dry-run for setup probes, setup provisioning, demo-catalog cleanup, extraction-side verification against Wix, or import writes unless the user has explicitly approved leaving dry-run for that step or phase. Prefer to avoid that override when a dry-run artifact or report can be produced instead. The upstream new-site creation exception does not authorize this skill to make any other live Wix API call.

Treat migrations/<project>/config/*.env as secret-bearing once they may contain real values. Do not inspect them with whole-file reads that print contents into tool output; check only existence and required-key status (present, blank, missing).

For CLI-scaffolded headless sites, acquire the site write token from the scaffolded frontend folder with:

npx @wix/cli@latest token --site "$WIX_SITE_ID"

Persist the returned token as WIX_AUTH_TOKEN and send it as a Bearer token. The same Wix CLI account should create the site and mint this token.

Workflow

1. Resolve the active project.

2. Review the machine execution artifacts and generated code; present the execution plan report and obtain acceptance (see above) before any write. 2b. Prepare deterministic local execution state before any setup/import write:

   node skills/replatform/scripts/execution-state-prepare.js migrations/<project>
   

   This validates execution/execution-manifest.json, initializes or validates state/crosswalk/crosswalk.ndjson, rebuilds crosswalk indexes, initializes state/attempts/write-attempts.ndjson, initializes state/url-preservation/ artifacts when URL preservation is enabled, and blocks CMS mirror download flows unless local state is absent and explicit CMS mirror rows have been provided to seed it.

3. Run a safe validation path first when possible, such as dry-run, sample batch, or read-only validation. For dry-run, invoke the same generated setup/import entrypoints with DRY_RUN=true or --dry-run. Do not use an agent/MCP hand-built substitute. The shared Wix runtime must skip Wix calls at wix.send, write state/attempts/wix-request-captures.ndjson, and keep placeholder target IDs out of state/crosswalk/crosswalk.ndjson. Do not switch to --no-dry-run unless the user explicitly approves leaving dry-run for that phase. If media import is in scope and source media URLs are local/private (localhost, 127.0.0.1, Docker-only hosts, etc.), do not treat a successful dry-run as proof that live media import can work. Wix Media import fetches URLs from Wix servers, so the user must either expose the source through a public HTTPS tunnel or skip/defer media. This is optional and, as far as we know today, only affects media import. For Stores products carrying subscriptionDetails, the generated dry-run must execute the same transform path as live import and call the vendored validateStoresProductSubscriptionDetails helper before writes. Known contract failures such as missing cadence or an invalid required nested field are record-level preflight failures/deferred outcomes; they must be counted and reported without sending that record to Wix. If the run needs live Stores evidence during setup or recovery, use the shared verification CLI and persist its JSON artifact: node skills/replatform/resources/rp-target-wix/scripts/verify-stores.js stores product-count --artifact migrations/<project>/execution/stores-product-count-verification.json or stores product-by-source-marker --marker-path <path> --marker-value <value>. Do not write migration-local verification snippets for Stores product counts, source-marker lookups, subscription probes, or probe cleanup. 3b. A freshly provisioned Wix Stores catalog (and 's seed) ships ~12 placeholder demo products + demo categories. Delete them before importing (keep the system category) so the final store holds only the migrated data — otherwise a clean 100-product import reads as 112. Applies in both delivery modes.

Required final report contents

When execution finishes, the deterministic completion outputs must explicitly include:

• the destination site's dashboard URL
• the destination site's editor URL only when editor work was actually performed or the next required step is explicitly in the editor
• the current preview URL only when public route/site verification is relevant to the completed work
• whether store routes such as product/cart/checkout were verified or still unverified
• URL preservation counts: base paths captured, URL ledger rows written, redirect plans recorded, unresolved public URLs, and manual-review URL rows
• safe-mode counts: email fields replaced, phone fields replaced, records skipped with SAFE_MODE_SUSPICIOUS_EMAIL, and the project-relative safe-mode ledger paths. Do not include original email addresses or phone numbers.
• dry-run counts when dryRun: true: requests built, Wix calls skipped, would create, would update, would delete, would require live lookup, and local validation failures. Do not report dry-run rows as created, updated, imported, installed, published, or verified in Wix.
• an explicit statement that URL redirects/site routing were not applied in the current import phase when urlPreservation.applyRedirects is false
• a plain-language distinction between:
  • catalog/data imported successfully
  • website/homepage built successfully
• notification-mute state (spec 0012) — in every terminal report (completed, halted to needs-user, or aborted; an aborted run is exactly the case where the owner is least likely to remember the mute happened). Derive "was muted" only from recorded state — the mute-site-notifications item in setup/setup-verification.json and the import run's preflight log entries — never from strategy/config inference. When a successful mute is recorded, state in plain language that all site notifications are currently muted and stay muted until re-enabled; that the owner can simply ask the agent to unmute them (on request the agent calls unmuteSiteNotifications and confirms muted: false via getSiteMuteState); and how to re-enable manually. For existing sites this line is mandatory and prominent. If no successful mute is recorded, do not claim the site is muted — for a run where mute was in effect, that is a blocker that should already have stopped the import at the preflight.

Do not report a successful catalog import as if it automatically means a finished website. If the homepage/root preview is still blank or no site shell has been built, say that explicitly in the final report.

State the delivery mode explicitly (see replatform → "Delivery mode"):

• management mode (default): report that the deliverable is a Wix-managed headless backend — data migrated and manageable from the dashboard, with no customer-facing website built (by design). Do not frame the missing storefront as an incomplete result. You may note that a storefront can be generated on request (website mode, via wix-headless), but do not build one unless the user asks.
• website mode: report the storefront URL produced by wix-headless and confirm the released site serves the migrated catalog (not demo data).

Completion artifact authority

At the end of the run, artifact authority should be explicit:

1. execution-log.md is authoritative for chronology and operator/debug context only
2. execution/completion-report.json is authoritative for final outcome
3. execution/review/completion-summary.md is the deterministic user-facing rendering of execution/completion-report.json

This skill should not treat execution-log.md as the canonical source for final imported/skipped/failed counts when completion-report.json exists.

Localhost media before live import

When source media URLs are local/private, ask the user to choose one path before live media writes:

• Expose the source with a public HTTPS tunnel such as ngrok:

  brew install ngrok
  ngrok config add-authtoken "<YOUR_AUTHTOKEN>"
  ngrok http 8090
  export WP_BASE_URL=https://<id>.ngrok-free.app
  

• Or skip/defer media import and record the effect on hero images, galleries, downloadable files, and other media-dependent references.

Non-media entities may continue if the execution plan clearly excludes or defers media.

Artifact to create or update

• migrations/<project>/execution-log.md
• migrations/<project>/execution/live-import-summary.json
• migrations/<project>/execution/completion-report.json
• migrations/<project>/execution/review/completion-summary.md
• migrations/<project>/execution/recovery-log.json for every resumed, partial, missing-only, failed-only, or deferred-only run
• audit/report artifacts emitted by the shared import runtime

Recovery artifact contract

Targeted recovery is a first-class import mode, not a side script. Every selective, resumed, partial, missing-only, failed-only, or deferred-only run must append one entry to execution/recovery-log.json and update execution/live-import-summary.json through the same shared summary writer used by the main import path.

Each recovery entry must include:

• recovery id
• timestamp
• selection filters
• reason
• records selected
• records attempted
• imported
• already present
• failed
• deferred
• crosswalk changes
• summary changes
• operator-visible outcome
• links to detailed logs

Do not overwrite earlier recovery entries. Failed or deferred records from an earlier attempt must remain visible after a later successful recovery; the newer recovery entry and summary delta explain what changed.

Completion report contract

This skill should expect the shared import runtime to emit a machine-readable completion artifact and should preserve it as the primary post-run result.

execution/completion-report.json should be the authoritative source for:

• final run status: complete | complete_with_warnings | complete_with_recovered_records | complete_with_deferred_records | incomplete_with_failures | incomplete_with_mismatches | aborted
• final completeness counts by entity and subtype: extracted, in-scope, attempted, imported, already present by crosswalk, deferred, failed, skipped out of scope, and unexpected skipped
• grouped skipped/deferred outcomes
• grouped failure outcomes
• mismatch rows where source, import, and crosswalk counts do not reconcile
• URL preservation summary counts and artifact paths when URL preservation is enabled
• dashboard/editor/preview destinations
• artifact references for logs and diagnostics

execution/live-import-summary.json should carry the same entityCompleteness accounting contract during/after the live import so short imports are visible before any manual count comparison. For every mapped entity/subtype row, the runtime must reconcile:

imported + alreadyPresentByCrosswalk + deferred + failed == inScope

Any non-zero deferred, failed, or unexpected skipped count for an in-scope mapped entity class must appear in the completion headline. Any mismatch must set the final status to incomplete_with_mismatches unless the run was already aborted.

When more than one status applies, choose the highest-severity status in this order:

1. aborted
2. incomplete_with_mismatches
3. incomplete_with_failures
4. complete_with_deferred_records
5. complete_with_recovered_records
6. complete_with_warnings
7. complete

The user-facing completion summary should be rendered deterministically from that artifact. The completion report should be produced from the runtime's in-memory counters for the current runId, with audit-log aggregation used only as a verification/fallback path. When audit events are read, filter by runId; never infer final counts by counting every line in an append-only import-audit.ndjson that may include dry-runs, retries, and previous recovery passes.

Minimum execution log contents

• run timestamp
• command or entrypoint used
• extracted source location / manifest used
• entities processed
• records read, transformed, written, skipped, failed
• retry behavior
• blocking errors
• follow-up remediation
• member activation status, when members are in scope (activation automation created and enabled post-window? label waves applied — which label, how many contacts per wave?) — see rp-target-wix members guidance; never mass-send set-password emails
• dashboard URL
• editor URL when relevant
• preview URL when relevant
• post-import route verification status (for example product/cart/checkout reachable or not yet installed)
• URL preservation artifact paths and counts, including redirect plans and unresolved public URLs
• explicit state classification: catalog imported, site shell built, or both
• references to machine-readable report and audit artifacts

The execution log may mention outcome summaries, but it is not the authoritative source for final imported/skipped/failed counts.

Guardrails

• Import writes go through the executed artifact, not the agent. Never perform import writes via CallWixSiteAPI/MCP as a substitute for running the script. MCP is verification-only here (see the section above). (Setup execution is out of scope for this rule — see rp-execute-setup.)
• Prefer execution/execution-manifest.json over markdown when deciding what to run.
• Prefer execution/completion-report.json over execution-log.md when reporting final outcome to the user.
• Prefer execution/recovery-log.json over migration-local recovery scripts when explaining targeted recovery outcomes.
• Prefer dry-runs or sample batches before full import.
• Stop on systemic mapping or write failures rather than amplifying bad writes.
• Preserve enough logging to support replay and debugging.
