rp-import-codegen
Generate source readers, transforms, setup/import entrypoints, and thin Wix write specs from approved migration artifacts.
Purpose
This skill turns the schema, mapping, and setup decisions into implementation files under the active migration project.
Required inputs
migrations/<project>/source-schema.json
migrations/<project>/mapping/mapping-plan.json
migrations/<project>/setup/setup-plan.json
migrations/<project>/setup/setup-requirements.json when setup affects write paths
Prefer the machine-readable artifacts above. Markdown review files are secondary renderings
for humans, not the primary codegen contract.
Source read contract
Generating a correct reader requires platform-specific knowledge — auth model,
pagination, rate limits, and REST quirks. That knowledge lives in the matching source
adapter skill, not here, so this skill never names a platform. Resolve the adapter from
the platform field in source-schema.json via the naming convention rp-source-<platform>
(e.g. platform: "wordpress" → rp-source-wordpress) and read its "Read contract"
section. The operational facts should already be recorded in source-profile.md; use the
adapter to fill any gaps rather than guessing. rp-execute-import runs the reader you
generate and stays platform-agnostic — so the platform specifics must be baked into this
generated code, not deferred to execution.
Adding a new source platform therefore requires no change to this skill: a new
rp-source-<platform> adapter is enough.
CSV sources (platform: "csv")
When source-schema.json.platform === "csv", generate a file reader instead of an HTTP
reader and read rp-source-csv → "Read contract". The differences that matter:
- Vendor
lib/csv-parse.js into src/lib/ and import it, exactly as a WordPress reader
vendors wp-http.js. Do not re-emit parsing: the sampler and the reader must agree on what
the file contains. There is no auth, no pagination, and no rate limiting to generate.
- Grouping is the reader's core job. Replay
sourceMeta.sourceFiles[].layout: with
continuation: "blank-key" a blank key extends the current group; with a sectioned
pattern the discriminator column routes parent vs child rows and parentRefColumn resolves
a child to its parent (it may hold id:123 or a SKU, and the child is not guaranteed to
follow its parent).
- Iterate the file set by role, treating
sourceFiles[].partOf entries as continuations
of the same logical stream and honoring each part's own column order.
- Materialize
column-values entities: collect the distinct values of the source column
and their ancestors into their own entity file, emitted depth-ascending so a parent
category exists before its child, plus the linking relation. Do not invent Wix ids at
extract time — the ImportCrosswalk resolves them at import time.
- Apply
sourceMeta.dialect.emptyPolicy through the shared coerceEmpty helper so a
required Wix field is never fed an empty string the source did not have.
- CSV values are plain text; write them as-is with no entity-decoding step.
Target write contract
Symmetrically, do not re-derive the Wix write surface here. It is identical for
every migration and is pre-verified in the rp-target-wix internal resource (see
CONVENTIONS.md), which ships shared Wix runtime code: verified request builders,
executors, and reusable execution logic for retries, throttling, checkpoints, and
reporting. Vendor copies of the shared runtime modules from rp-target-wix into the
project (like the source transport) and generate thin project-specific write specs and
transforms that call those shared primitives/runtime functions. Never hand-emit Wix
endpoints/bodies inline —
that path repeatedly shipped wrong shapes (lowercase Ricos plugin enums, {tag:{…}}
tag bodies, media.wixMedia.image.id featured images) that only failed at execution.
Validate by real call, not by doc example. MCP doc checks confirm an endpoint
exists; they do not confirm the request shape works — public examples have been
wrong (e.g. Ricos plugin enums shown lowercase that 400). Trust a Wix request shape only once a real call (or
tests/target-wix/contract-test.js in live mode, run from the repo root) has succeeded. Treat the
adapter's // VERIFIED: shapes as the source of truth over any docs example.
Adding a new source platform requires no change here, and the Wix surface change for
all migrations is a one-place edit in rp-target-wix (caught by its contract test),
not a per-project regeneration.
Workflow
- Read the discovery, mapping, and setup artifacts, plus the source adapter's read
contract and the
rp-target-wix write contract.
If a mapping entity includes targetRef, validate its selected writer and reliability
against rp-target-wix/scripts/domain-knowledge.js summarize-entities; do not remap
source entities independently.
- Generate machine-readable execution artifacts:
execution/execution-manifest.json
execution/llm-handoff.json
- when
SAFE_MODE=true or DRY_RUN=true, execution/review/code-safety-review.md
- optional supporting execution subplans only when the runtime truly needs them
- Generate setup code that can verify/provision Wix prerequisites by executing the
machine setup artifacts through the shared setup runtime.
- Generate source reader code that can enumerate and fetch source entities. If the adapter
ships a shared transport module (auth, pagination, throttling, retries), vendor a copy of
it into the project (e.g.
migrations/<project>/src/lib/) and import from it instead of
re-emitting that plumbing — the reader should hold only per-project orchestration.
The reader must extract source records to durable files on disk; it must not require the
whole source dataset to live in memory before import begins.
- Generate transform code that maps source records into Wix-shaped objects — thin glue over
wix-build.js, which already owns slug sanitizing and the money/price/variant rules; see
"Never hand-write slug sanitizing" below.
Wix Stores products: Catalog V3 only. Catalog V1 is not supported by this workflow —
there is nothing to generate for it. The only destination a migration ever writes to is
a V3_CATALOG site (guaranteed at provisioning and gated before any write — see
replatform → "Headless site creation" and rp-execute-setup), so generated code may
assume V3 unconditionally: no version detection, no branch, no V1 shape, no V1 fallback
for a failing V3 write. A V1 site is a blocker the run halts on, never a case codegen
handles. Concretely: never emit Catalog V1-style top-level price, sku, or variant
inventory fields. For simple products, emit one variant under
variantsInfo.variants[] with variant-level price, sku, and physical properties.
When the source product is subscription-based and the source payload exposes explicit
recurring cadence in structured product data, emit native
with at least and one
entry carrying , , , , and
. Do not emit placeholder-only metadata or skip those products on create
when that cadence can be inferred deterministically; live create coverage for this
shape was verified on July 26, 2026.
Product HTML descriptions land in , which Wix converts to rich content
server-side — it is HTML, not a plain-text flattening, so there is no fidelity loss to
accept. Do NOT call the Ricos conversion endpoint on the product path: it costs one HTTP
round-trip per product ahead of a bulk create, and that burst is what the endpoint throttles
with a 403. Two traps: is silently ignored when is also set
(set exactly one), and it is capped at 16,000 characters — longer bodies need truncation or
an info section, recorded in . Ricos conversion remains correct for blog
posts, where really is a Ricos document.
Media scope should be relationship-driven by default: generate imports only for media
referenced by mapped entities, not for the entire unattached source library. When the
target adapter says an entity can ingest external URLs directly (for example Wix Stores
product media), generate that entity-native path instead of routing those files through
the slower generic Media Manager import flow.
Post-codegen code-safety review checkpoint
When either SAFE_MODE=true or DRY_RUN=true for the active project, codegen must
produce a mandatory review artifact before the execution approval gate:
migrations/<project>/execution/review/code-safety-review.md
This review is performed by the agent, not delegated to the user. It verifies the
generated code itself. It must check:
- every generated write path that can carry email/phone data passes
safeModeOptions
into the shared Wix runtime or direct REST wrapper
- every shared/native writer reached by generated code actually consumes those
safeModeOptions and routes the request body through the shared sanitizer rather than
silently ignoring the parameter
- no generated writer path silently bypasses safe mode because of a missing function
parameter or a direct call that skips the shared sanitizer
- dry-run uses the same generated write code path as live import, with Wix calls skipped
only at the shared
wix.send boundary
- dry-run reporting does not label would-send placeholders as live-created/imported site
objects
- mapping-declared
safeModeReplacements[] are reflected in the generated write specs and
runner wiring, and any entity that still carries outbound contact data without matching
replacement-path coverage is treated as a review failure rather than left for the user
to reason about manually
If the review finds a gap, execution approval must remain pending until the generated
code is corrected and the review artifact is regenerated with a passing verdict. The
user's role at this checkpoint is final go/no-go approval after the agent has already
completed the review and surfaced the findings.
Codegen boundary
This skill owns the project-specific layer only.
It should generate:
- setup plan renderings and setup runner wiring
- source readers
- transforms
- per-entity write specs
- import ordering and dependency wiring
- project-local config loading
- execution review artifacts
- post-codegen code-safety review artifacts when safe mode or dry-run is enabled
It must not regenerate for each migration:
- raw Wix auth/client plumbing
- generic retry loops
- throttling behavior
- audit log shape
- compact execution report shape
- checkpoint store mechanics
- generic bulk-write orchestration
Those behaviors belong in rp-target-wix.
Final handoff expectations
The generated plan and downstream execution path must make the final state legible to the
user. Treat these as required handoff details, not optional niceties:
- Surface the dashboard URL for the destination site.
- Surface the editor URL only when editor work was actually performed or the next
required step is explicitly in the editor.
- Surface the preview URL only when public route/site verification is relevant to the
completed work.
- Distinguish clearly between:
- catalog/data imported
- website/homepage built
- Do not imply that a successful Stores import means the site's homepage or full website
experience exists. A migration can finish with valid catalog/product/cart/checkout
routes while the homepage is still blank or unbuilt.
- If Shopify quick mode relies on public collection feeds such as
/collections/{handle}/products.json to recover category membership, bake that into the
generated extractor/importer or emit an explicit remediation helper and call it out in
execution/review/import-plan.md.
Runnable setup/extraction/import entrypoints — the artifacts are the execution path (required)
rp-execute-setup and rp-execute-import run the migration by executing these
artifacts, never by the agent hand-issuing Wix MCP calls. So codegen must emit real,
runnable entrypoints:
src/setup/run-setup.js or equivalent setup entrypoint — reads the machine setup
artifacts and executes them through the shared setup runtime.
src/extract/run-extract.js or equivalent reader entrypoint — reads the source APIs and
writes durable extracted files under the project. Extraction is a separate step from
destination writes, so large migrations can be resumed or re-imported without re-reading
the whole source.
src/import/run-import.js or equivalent import entrypoint — reads the extracted files,
applies transforms, and writes to Wix in dependency order through the vendored shared
write runtime. It must:
- load project-local config files, then process env, for all expected env-style values
(never hardcoded; fail fast if absent — do not fall back to any agent/MCP auth),
- run the notification-mute preflight before the first entity write whenever mute
is in effect (see "Notification-mute preflight" below),
- consume extracted source files from disk rather than materializing the entire source in
memory,
- apply idempotent dedupe keyed by source ID, using either a client-controlled source-id
field on the target or the authoritative local
state/crosswalk/crosswalk.ndjson durable sourceId -> targetId crosswalk for native Wix
entities with server-assigned IDs, reading existing target state under the rules in
"Reading existing target state" below — an empty read is not an empty site,
- honor
DRY_RUN=true and --dry-run for the safe-validation pass; --dry-run takes
precedence over config and enables the shared Wix runtime's dry-run mode.
--sample may be supported as a narrower dry-run-style validation mode, but it must
not replace --dry-run as the primary safe-validation control.
- honor deterministic selective resume flags:
--entity <entity>,
--source-type <subtype>, --missing-only, --failed-only, and --deferred-only.
--missing-only, --failed-only, and --deferred-only are mutually exclusive. These
flags must drive the same import path as a full run after selecting a stable record
set; do not generate one-off recovery drivers.
- emit a stable
runId at process start and include it in every audit event, dry-run
request capture, placeholder crosswalk row, and summary artifact.
Extraction format requirements:
- write extracted data to project-local files, not process memory
- chunk by entity and page/batch so a large source does not become one giant file
- write a manifest that lets the import step discover which entity files exist and in what
order to consume them
- make the extracted files deterministic enough for resume, replay, and debugging
Notification-mute preflight (spec 0012, required)
When mute is in effect — always for WIX_SITE_STRATEGY=new (unconditional,
regardless of WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS), and for existing sites only when
WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS=on — the generated import script must contain a mandatory
preflight step, before the first entity write, that asserts the site is muted:
- Primary:
getSiteMuteState(wix) (rp-target-wix, VERIFIED 2026-08-04) returns
muted: true.
- Fallback (only if the status read is unavailable): an idempotent
muteSiteNotifications(wix, { reason }) call — passing the same
project-identifying reason as setup (RePlatform migration — <project>), because a
re-mute overwrites the recorded reason (last caller wins).
If the preflight call fails or reads muted: false and the re-mute fails, the script
aborts before any write with a clear error routing back to setup — exit non-zero, no
degraded mode, no --skip-mute-preflight-style flag, no warning-and-continue. For
new-site projects the preflight is emitted unconditionally and never appears as a
skippable option; for existing-site projects with WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS=off (the
default), no preflight is emitted. The preflight logs its re-verification and outcome
into the run's execution/progress log (keyed by runId) — terminal reports read this
recorded state, never strategy/config inference. In dry-run mode the preflight follows
the shared dry-run contract like any other Wix call: the intent is captured and the
state read is skipped (stateKnown: false), not asserted as muted. The generated script
must never call unmuteSiteNotifications — unmute is an explicit owner request outside
the import path. A preflight mute-verification failure is recorded through the standard
rp-telemetry recorder as an error event (with error_code) like any other run
event — no new telemetry surface.
Use the target's BULK write path (required)
A generated importer must write through the target's bulk endpoint whenever one exists.
Per-record creates are acceptable only when the target has no bulk equivalent, or for a
deliberate single-record contract probe. This is not an optimization to add later: at 1000
products, per-record creates are 1000 round trips where bulk is ~11, and the latency
difference is the difference between a minute and half an hour.
Derive the batch shape from the endpoint's own limits, all of them at once. Bulk
endpoints routinely cap several dimensions simultaneously and exceeding any one rejects
the entire request — Wix bulk product create caps products (100), variants (1000), options
(100), modifiers (100) and infoSections (100) per request, so with 2 options per product the
options cap binds at 50 products, not 100. Batch with ndjson.readBatchesByLimits and the
limits/cost helpers the target adapter exports (BULK_PRODUCT_LIMITS,
storesProductBulkCost); never batch on record count alone.
Three properties of bulk responses that generated code must handle explicitly, because each
one silently corrupts a report if ignored:
- Bulk is not atomic. A
200 can contain per-item failures. Walk every
results[] entry; never infer success from the HTTP status.
- Correlate by the response's own index field (
itemMetadata.originalIndex for Wix), not
by response position, and verify that every input is accounted for. A mis-correlated
result crosswalks the wrong target id onto a source record.
- Count the "undetailed failures" bucket. Servers drop failure detail past a threshold;
those are still failures and must appear in the completion report.
Dedupe before building the batch — a skipped record must never reach the API — and
record the crosswalk per successful item, not per batch, so an interrupted run resumes
correctly.
Record streams are NDJSON, single documents are JSON (required)
Every file that holds a stream of records must be newline-delimited JSON (.ndjson), one
record per line — never a { "records": [ … ] } array. Vendor
rp-target-wix/lib/ndjson.js into the project (like wix-writers.js) and use it; do not
hand-roll line splitting, which gets chunk boundaries and CRLF wrong.
This applies to:
data/source-extract/<entity>.ndjson — the extractor's output
- the
sourceId -> targetId crosswalk
- audit logs (already NDJSON)
It exists because every downstream stage does the same three things with these files, and an
array is the wrong shape for all of them:
- scan —
countRecords counts lines; nothing is parsed and nothing is held in memory. A
JSON array must be fully parsed to be counted.
- batch — a bulk endpoint's page is
readBatches(file, 100). Use readBatchesBy when the
target caps more than one dimension: Wix bulk product create allows ≤100 products AND
≤1000 variants per request, which is { maxCount: 100, maxCost: 1000, cost: p => p.variantsInfo.variants.length }.
- cursor / resume —
readSlice(file, { offset, limit }) skips what is already done
without rebuilding it into objects.
Two more properties that matter in practice: a producer can append records as it finds them
instead of buffering the whole entity, and an interrupted write leaves a valid readable
prefix — a truncated JSON array is unparseable, so a crash mid-extract loses everything.
Do not line-delimit single documents. A manifest, mapping-plan.json,
decisions.json, execution-manifest.json, preview-result.json or
completion-report.json is one object; it stays .json. NDJSON buys nothing there and makes
it unreadable.
Generated importers must stream these files (for await (const batch of readBatches(...))), not readAllRecords them. readAllRecords is an escape hatch for
genuinely small streams (a six-record category list) and is named to make its misuse on a
large stream obvious.
Projects generated before this rule can be moved forward with
convertLegacyJsonFile(jsonPath, ndjsonPath) rather than re-extracting.
Reading existing target state (required)
An idempotent importer has to know what is already on the site before it writes. Every bug in
this section is the same bug: a read that returns nothing looks exactly like a site that
contains nothing, and nothing-on-the-site is the branch that writes. None of them throw, so
none of them show up in a dry-run.
The adapter's query* executors already return the array. queryStoresCategories,
queryStoresProducts, queryContacts, queryCoupons and queryOrders unwrap the response
before returning it, so the value is categories / products / etc. Generated code must
use it directly:
const existing = await W.queryStoresCategories(wix); // an array
const existing = (await W.queryStoresCategories(wix)).categories; // WRONG → undefined → []
The second form is what shipped, and reading .categories off an array yields undefined,
which the usual || [] turns into an empty array. It silently disabled a category dedupe
index, silently disabled a product name-match safety net, and made a setup verification
report 0 categories on a site that had 25 — all without one error line.
Never cursor-page through those executors. Unwrapping discards pagingMetadata, so the
cursor a loop needs is already gone; a loop built on them cannot advance past page one, and
reading .pagingMetadata off the returned array is the same undefined as above. Prefer the
adapter's sweep primitives, which own the loop and the failure semantics:
queryAllStoresCategories(wix), queryAllStoresProducts(wix), queryAllDataItems(...)
When a sweep is needed for an entity that has no queryAll* primitive yet, generate the loop
against the raw response and add the primitive to rp-target-wix rather than leaving the
loop in project code:
let cursor = null;
do {
const body = cursor ? { cursorPaging: { limit: 100, cursor } } : { cursorPaging: { limit: 100 } };
const response = await wix.send(W.buildQueryStoresProductsRequest(body)); // raw, not the executor
for (const p of response.products || []) { /* index it */ }
cursor = (response.pagingMetadata && response.pagingMetadata.cursors && response.pagingMetadata.cursors.next) || null;
} while (cursor);
An incomplete sweep must throw, not fall through. If any page fails, or the loop hits its
page ceiling with a cursor still outstanding, the generated code must abort the import with a
message naming the sweep. It must not continue with the partial index, and must not treat
"the sweep failed" as "nothing exists" — that is precisely the state in which a re-run
re-creates the entire catalog it already imported. The single most expensive failure in this
whole pipeline is a duplicate import, and it arrives through an empty net.
A match must be ADOPTED into the crosswalk, not skipped. When a safety net (name match,
slug match, source-id field) finds that the target entity already exists, record it in the
crosswalk with its target id and revision and count it as reused. A bare continue that
skips the write without recording the id looks correct — nothing is duplicated — but every
later phase that resolves ids from the crosswalk then silently drops the record. Concretely:
the product was already on the site, so it was skipped, so it had no crosswalk row, so the
category-link phase could not resolve its id and it ended up in no category at all. Index the
net as name -> { id, revision }, not as a Set of names, so the id is available to adopt.
An ambiguous match is the one case that must not be adopted: if the source key is not unique
(e.g. four source products share a title), the net cannot tell which existing entity
corresponds to which source record. Import rather than guess, and report the ambiguity in the
completion report.
Never hand-write slug sanitizing (required)
A source handle is not already a valid Wix slug. Wix rejects anything outside [a-z0-9-],
and because slug validation happens before the batch is applied, one bad slug fails the
entire bulk request — 100 products lost for one character. Shopify mints underscores from
decimal titles ("pH 5.5" → ph-5_5), so this is routine input, not an edge case.
It is already solved: wix-build.js exports toWixSlug and applies it automatically through the
coerce: 'slug' rule on product.slug in wix-target-spec.js. Generated transforms that call
the build layer (see the src/import/transforms/ note under "File targets") get it for free and
must not re-derive it — a per-project copy is how the underscore bug reached a live site in the
first place.
Two properties to preserve when a generated transform sets a slug explicitly:
- Sanitize in the build layer, not the writer, and keep both values. URL preservation needs
the original
sourceSlug alongside the plannedTargetSlug actually derived from it (see the
URL preservation rules under "Codegen rules"), which a silent rewrite inside the writer would
falsify. normalizeStoresProductV3 therefore passes a slug through untouched.
toWixSlug throws when a value sanitizes to empty (an all-non-latin title, for example).
That is a signal to supply a deterministic fallback — the record's source id — not to omit the
slug and let Wix derive one, which breaks URL preservation with no trace.
Sample-preview gate
Between the extractor being generated and the execution-plan approval, show the user what
their data actually became. The mapping review checkpoint validates intent; this validates
structure — how source rows turned into entities — before any full run.
Required whenever the source cannot be read back from a live API — in particular every
platform: "csv" run, where a misread layout silently produces the wrong entity split.
- Generate the extractor first (
src/extract/run-extract.js).
- Run it in sample mode (
--sample) to materialize a small data/source-extract/ slice.
- Write two artifacts under
migrations/<project>/preview/:
preview-summary.md — a short human-readable structure preview: how rows became grouped
entities (e.g. one product with its variants and images), per-entity record counts, and
which columns landed in which Wix fields.
preview-result.json — { "status": "pending", "decidedAt": null, "decidedBy": null, "entityCounts": {...}, "warnings": [] }.
- Pause and ask the user to validate the structure. On accept, set
status: "accepted" with
decidedAt/decidedBy; on reject, set status: "rejected" and set
approvals.mapping.status back to pending so the router returns to rp-mapper.
- Record the artifacts on the codegen checkpoint (
checkpoints.codegen.artifactRefs +
lastCompletedStep: "codegen.sample-preview").
This is a codegen sub-gate, not an orchestration phase: it adds no state to
orchestration-state.js. While preview-result.json says pending, the router keeps routing
back to this skill instead of advancing to the execution-plan gate — that routing behavior is
the enforcement, so the artifact must be written honestly. The gate rides on the existing
extract→import split and does not change how import writes to Wix.
Project-local config files
Generated code should treat migrations/<project>/config/ as the canonical home for all
values that are otherwise expected as environment variables. Use simple .env syntax and
load these files before reading config:
-
config/wix.env always exists. Default DRY_RUN=false, except when the user has
explicitly asked to start, create, prepare, or run the migration in dry-run mode; in
that case scaffold or preserve DRY_RUN=true:
WIX_SITE_STRATEGY=
WIX_SITE_ID=
WIX_AUTH_TOKEN=
WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS=
DRY_RUN=false
SAFE_MODE=true
SAFE_MODE_PHONE_NUMBER=+972 50 0000000
-
config/source.<platform>.env exists after the source platform is known. For WordPress:
WP_BASE_URL=
WP_USERNAME=
WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORD=
WP_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_FROM=
WP_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_TO=
WC_CONSUMER_KEY=
WC_CONSUMER_SECRET=
For CSV sources this is config/source.csv.env, which is not secret-bearing — all keys
are optional hints (CSV_INPUT_ROOT, CSV_DELIMITER, CSV_ENCODING, CSV_VENDOR,
CSV_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_FROM, CSV_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_TO). Generated readers must resolve
input paths against CSV_INPUT_ROOT (falling back to the project directory) rather than
baking absolute paths into generated code.
Codegen rules:
- Generate a small dependency-free config loader in the runnable entrypoint or
src/lib/.
- Load
config/wix.env and the selected source config before constructing source/Wix
clients.
- Default
DRY_RUN to disabled. Treat true, 1, yes, and on as enabled and
false, 0, no, and off as disabled. --dry-run must override config and enable
dry-run. --no-dry-run may be supported to override DRY_RUN=true.
- When scaffolding a project that is in dry-run mode, generated review artifacts must say
that leaving dry-run later requires explicit user approval for any step other than
new-site creation, and that such overrides should be avoided when a dry-run or report
is sufficient.
- Preserve an explicit
DRY_RUN=true from project config when regenerating code or
config. Do not reset it to false during later codegen passes.
- Default safe mode to enabled when
SAFE_MODE is missing or blank. Honor
SAFE_MODE=false when the user set it before mapping: do not require
safeModeReplacements[], do not replace contact values, and do not write safe-mode email
recovery rows.
- When safe mode is enabled, require
SAFE_MODE_PHONE_NUMBER, default missing/blank values
to +972 50 0000000, and make the generated config explicit.
- Real process environment variables may override file values.
- Blank values in config files must not overwrite non-empty process env values.
- If a required key is still missing after loading file + env, fail fast with the key
name, not a downstream 401.
- In dry-run, missing or blank
WIX_AUTH_TOKEN and WIX_SITE_ID are would_block_live
findings, not blockers, unless a generated local artifact requires the site ID as a
stable namespace. Do not mint a Wix CLI token solely for dry-run.
WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS (spec 0012) resolves by strategy when blank: new → on,
existing → off; record the resolved value explicitly (mirrored from
orchestration/decisions.json). WIX_MUTE_NOTIFICATIONS=off together with
fails codegen validation — halt with the config conflict
rather than generating artifacts (the same rule fails in ; fail
fast at whichever runs first). Note the preflight emission rule below ignores the
config for new sites anyway — it is unconditional.
WooCommerce subscription product codegen
For WooCommerce Stores products, subscription products are a native Wix Stores product
subtype when the target metadata marks product.subscriptionDetails writable for
Catalog V3 create. Codegen must read the stores/product fieldContracts[] metadata and
vendor/use the matching rp-target-wix/lib/wix-writers.js helpers:
STORES_SUBSCRIPTION_CONTRACT
normalizeStoresProductSubscriptions
validateStoresProductSubscriptionDetails
Generate deterministic native subscription mapping only from recognized structured
WooCommerce subscription fields. Accepted first-pass source keys include:
_subscription_period_interval
_subscription_period
_subscription_length
_subscription_trial_period
_subscription_trial_length
_subscription_sign_up_fee
_subscription_price
Equivalent public REST fields may be used when discovery normalized them into the source
schema, but do not infer cadence from product titles, descriptions, prose, shortcode
blobs, or unrecognized plugin metadata.
Mapping rules:
- Treat source
type: "subscription" or recognized subscription metadata as the product
subtype signal.
- Parse billing interval as an integer
>= 1.
- Parse billing period from
day, week, month, or year, then emit Wix frequency
DAY, WEEK, MONTH, or YEAR.
- Use subscription price when present, otherwise the normal product price, and still emit
the Catalog V3 variant-level money object required by the shared writer.
- Parse optional length/trial/signup-fee fields only when they are clean structured
values. If a field is present but malformed and needed for the selected mapping, defer
the record rather than guessing.
- Build subscription descriptions deterministically from source subscription labels or
product names, then pass them through
normalizeStoresProductSubscriptions so the Wix
description <= 60 contract is satisfied before write.
- Run
validateStoresProductSubscriptionDetails in the generated dry-run path and before
live create for every product carrying subscriptionDetails.
Do not generate a generic subscription skip gate. If a subscription product lacks
structured cadence or required values, emit an explicit deferred record such as
unsupported_subscription_shape, missing_subscription_cadence, or
invalid_subscription_interval, and include that reason in the execution summary. A
deferred subscription is a counted import outcome, not a silent skip.
Token minting — always route through scripts/mint-token.sh. Every migration project
must include scripts/mint-token.sh. The script reads WIX_SITE_ID from config/wix.env,
runs npx @wix/cli@latest token --site "$WIX_SITE_ID", captures the token (shape:
OauthNG.JWS.<base64>.<base64>.<sig> — single line, no JSON wrapper), and writes it
directly to config/wix.env as WIX_AUTH_TOKEN without printing the value. Run via Bash:
bash migrations/<project>/scripts/mint-token.sh
Do NOT run npx @wix/cli@latest token raw in a Bash tool call — it prints the
credential to stdout which lands in the transcript. Always use mint-token.sh.
During scaffolding, copy scripts/mint-token.sh from the canonical skills location —
do not generate it from scratch:
cp skills/replatform/resources/rp-execute-setup/scripts/mint-token.sh \
migrations/<project>/scripts/mint-token.sh
The preferred
pre-import flow is:
- verify
wix whoami,
- run
bash scripts/mint-token.sh (writes WIX_AUTH_TOKEN silently),
- run the import — the generated client reads
WIX_AUTH_TOKEN and sends it as
Authorization: Bearer <token> with wix-site-id.
Localhost media sources
If the source profile shows localhost, 127.0.0.1, or another private-only source URL,
generated media import code must not assume Wix can fetch those URLs. Wix Media import is
URL-based (rp-target-wix import-from-URL primitive), so live media import needs a public
URL reachable by Wix servers. This is optional and, as far as we know today, only affects
media import. Entity-native background ingestion from external URLs follows the same
reachability requirement: if the target API ingests a source URL itself, that URL must
still be publicly reachable by Wix.
Codegen/runtime should support one of these explicit paths:
-
Use a public HTTPS tunnel/source URL for live media import. For ngrok on macOS:
brew install ngrok
ngrok config add-authtoken "<YOUR_AUTHTOKEN>"
ngrok http 8090
export WP_BASE_URL=https://<id>.ngrok-free.app
-
If the source REST responses still contain local media URLs, generate a configurable
rewrite from the local base URL to the public tunnel base URL. For WordPress, use
WP_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_FROM and WP_MEDIA_URL_REWRITE_TO; when those are blank, it is
acceptable to rewrite localhost/private origins to public WP_BASE_URL.
-
Or generate/allow a media-skip/defer mode and document that media-dependent references
such as hero images, galleries, and downloadable files will be absent until media is
imported.
Surface the selected path in execution/review/import-plan.md and the execution plan before any live
write. Do not let a dry-run with localhost media URLs imply live Wix Media import is ready.
File targets
Write code under the project-local source tree:
migrations/<project>/execution/
migrations/<project>/src/setup/
migrations/<project>/src/extract/
migrations/<project>/src/import/
migrations/<project>/src/lib/ — vendored shared modules (the source adapter's transport
module, rp-target-wix/lib/ndjson.js, rp-target-wix/lib/wix-writers.js,
rp-target-wix/lib/wix-target-spec.js, rp-target-wix/lib/wix-build.js), copied here so
the project runs standalone with no external deps
migrations/<project>/src/extract/readers/
migrations/<project>/src/import/transforms/ — thin glue only. Vendor and call
wix-build.js; do not re-derive the canonical→Wix payload layer here. Money objects, slug
sanitization, the empty physicalProperties trap, choice-by-name variant references, the
compare-at-must-exceed-price rule and the regular/sale price resolution are all settled in
wix-target-spec.js + wix-build.js and regression-locked by
tests/mapping/wix-build-oracle-test.js against 220 payloads from two live-verified imports.
That layer is vendor-independent, so a per-project reimplementation only re-introduces bugs
that were already found and fixed. This directory should hold at most the mapping from THIS
project's reader field names onto the canonical vocabulary — and once the reader emits canonical
records directly, nothing at all.
migrations/<project>/src/import/write-specs/
migrations/<project>/src/setup/run-setup.js — setup execution entrypoint
migrations/<project>/src/extract/run-extract.js — extraction entrypoint. It must accept
--sample (extract a small slice only); that is what the sample-preview gate runs.
migrations/<project>/src/import/run-import.js — the runnable import entrypoint
(required; see "Runnable setup/extraction/import entrypoints" above). --dry-run
drives the safe-validation pass through the same import code path.
migrations/<project>/data/source-extract/ — extracted <entity>.ndjson record streams plus
a manifest.json (the manifest is a single document, so it stays JSON)
migrations/<project>/state/crosswalk/crosswalk.ndjson — authoritative local
crosswalk for native Wix entities
Recommended machine-readable artifacts:
migrations/<project>/execution/setup-plan.json
migrations/<project>/execution/execution-manifest.json
migrations/<project>/execution/llm-handoff.json
migrations/<project>/execution/live-import-summary.json
migrations/<project>/execution/completion-report.json
Generated write spec contract
Generated writer code should be thin. It should primarily define deterministic per-entity
write specs, then pass Wix-shaped objects into the shared runtime.
Each write spec should define, as applicable:
entity
mode: create | update | upsert | bulk_create | bulk_upsert
create
update
lookup
bulk
batchSize
concurrency
retryPolicy
throttlePolicy
auditKeys
crosswalkAuthority: "local"
cmsMirror: "none" | "download" | "upload" | "download-and-upload"
crosswalkStrategy
reconciliationStrategy
dependencyRefs
verificationLevel: verified | unverified
safeMode.replacePaths[]: resolved request-body paths copied from mapper
safeModeReplacements[], with { kind: "email" | "phone", path } entries. Paths use
the shared safe-mode grammar (field, field[], field.items[]) and are relative to
the request body passed to the shared writer builder. The mapper is required to surface
these replacements in both machine artifacts and review markdown; codegen should treat
missing safeModeReplacements[] for an entity with outbound contact fields as a mapper
contract failure, not as a cue to infer or invent replacements silently.
The transform layer should output Wix-shaped objects only. Request-envelope building and
retry/reporting logic belong in the shared runtime.
When safe mode is enabled, generated import code must derive one safeModeOptions object
per source record and pass it to every Wix writer call. The options must include origin
entityType, deterministic origin entityId, safeModePhoneNumber, and the write spec's
resolved replacement paths. entityId must be the source ID or deterministic
sourceStableKey, never the target Wix ID. If no deterministic origin identity exists,
fail before writing.
Generated code must not query Wix by original email or phone values while safe mode is
enabled. Any destination lookup keyed by contact data must use the same mock value that the
writer will send, with local crosswalk state remaining the primary idempotency authority.
Execution artifact contract
Codegen should emit machine-readable execution artifacts alongside runnable code.
execution/setup-plan.json: execution-ready rendering of setup work
execution/execution-manifest.json: authoritative ordered task graph covering setup,
extraction, transform/write execution, artifact refs, checkpoint ids, and plan version
execution/llm-handoff.json: whether unresolved codegen/execution decisions remain
This manifest is the primary downstream contract for rp-execute-setup and
rp-execute-import.
For every import task that handles public routed entities, include:
{
"urlPreservation": {
"enabled": true,
"basePathsPath": "state/url-preservation/base-paths.json",
"ledgerPath": "state/url-preservation/url-ledger.ndjson",
"redirectsPath": "state/url-preservation/redirects.ndjson",
"unresolvedPath": "state/url-preservation/unresolved.ndjson",
"applyRedirects": false
}
}
Do not set applyRedirects to true; the current phase records redirect plans but does
not configure Wix redirects or site routes.
Import completeness accounting contract
Generated import runners must treat completeness accounting as a first-class runtime
output. For each mapped entity class and meaningful subtype, the runner must produce an
entityCompleteness row with these counters:
extracted
inScope
attempted
imported
alreadyPresentByCrosswalk
deferred
failed
skippedOutOfScope
unexpectedSkipped
Subtype is required whenever source records with the same entity map through materially
different write paths or deferral rules, for example simple vs subscription Stores
products. deferred means intentionally not attempted with a recorded reason. failed
means attempted and not successfully written. unexpectedSkipped is for in-scope mapped
records that were skipped outside an accepted out-of-scope rule.
The generated runner must call or vendor skills/replatform/lib/completion-report.js and
write both:
execution/live-import-summary.json during/after live import for machine inspection
execution/completion-report.json as the authoritative final outcome artifact
For each row, reconciliation is:
imported + alreadyPresentByCrosswalk + deferred + failed == inScope
Any reconciliation mismatch, non-zero failed, non-zero deferred, or non-zero
unexpectedSkipped count must appear in the report headline and in the deterministic
human completion summary. Do not report a run as cleanly complete when source, import, and
crosswalk counts do not reconcile.
Verifying Wix APIs
The primary control is the Target write contract above: call rp-target-wix's
verified primitives when they exist. That adapter is where each stable shape is
verified-once (by a real call) and where a Wix surface change is fixed in one place.
When Wix has a native entity but rp-target-wix does not yet have a dedicated writer,
codegen must generate a Wix REST call for that native entity via the adapter's generic
direct REST helper, log the missing writer, and call the RePlatform notification hook.
Do not route to CMS merely because the writer is missing.
- If a Wix tool surface such as Wix MCP is available, prefer it to locate the endpoint
and request/response shape. If the shape is common enough, add a dedicated primitive to
resources/rp-target-wix/lib/wix-writers.js; otherwise generate a project-local native
REST call through sendDirectRest and mark it UNVERIFIED.
- Confirm the shape with a real call, not a doc example — public examples have been
wrong (e.g. lowercase Ricos plugin enums that 400). Cover the new primitive in
tests/target-wix/contract-test.js so drift stays visible.
- Fallback when no Wix tool surface is available: rely on published Wix REST/SDK docs
and conservative names. Mark the generated native call
// UNVERIFIED: until a real
call confirms it — never ship an unchecked Wix call to a user's live site without
surfacing it in the execution plan.
Runtime policy
Verify each Wix endpoint and field at codegen time. The // UNVERIFIED: marker is a
fallback only for environments where no direct verification aid is available, not a way
to ship unchecked calls that fail later on the user's live site. Anything unverified must
be surfaced explicitly in downstream artifacts before execution.
Missing writer policy
CMS fallback is for source concepts that do not have a suitable native Wix entity, or
for native entities explicitly rejected because they cannot preserve fidelity or would
cause unsafe side effects. CMS is not a fallback for a missing writer, and it is not a
special default for coupons just because coupon scoping/restrictions need mapping.
When the mapping targets a native Wix entity and no dedicated rp-target-wix writer
exists:
- Generate project-local code that calls the native Wix REST endpoint through
sendDirectRest.
- Add a clear log line before the first use of that generated REST path.
- Call
notifyMissingWriter({ sourceEntity, wixEntity, method, path, reason }). The
current implementation may be a no-op; the generated code must still call it.
- Mark the path
UNVERIFIED in execution/review/import-plan.md and the execution-plan report until a
live/sandbox call promotes it.
- Maintain the same idempotency rules as dedicated writers: crosswalk by source ID in
local state and never dedupe by slug.
Codegen rules
- Keep reader and writer responsibilities separate.
- Keep setup, extraction, and import responsibilities separate.
- Do not generate a read-all-into-memory importer for the general case. The reader extracts
to disk first; the importer consumes extracted files from disk.
- Make transforms deterministic and testable.
- Make generated write specs deterministic and declarative.
- Preserve source IDs for traceability, but do not assume native Wix target IDs can
be preserved or client-assigned.
- Generate a stable selection layer before executing writes. Use the shared
import-recovery.js runtime helpers where available, or vendor equivalent helpers into
the project. Selection must:
- apply
--entity before entity write execution,
- apply
--source-type against deterministic source subtype fields such as
WooCommerce type: "subscription",
- exclude local-crosswalk hits in
--missing-only mode and count them as
alreadyPresent,
- select latest failed attempt rows for
--failed-only,
- select latest deferred/needs-verification attempt rows for
--deferred-only,
- emit an execution selection summary before the first write.
- Native Wix creates must perform a local crosswalk lookup immediately before every create,
even after pre-selection. If a crosswalk row is found, skip idempotently and count the
record as already present instead of writing a duplicate.
- Every selective/resumed/partial run must append
execution/recovery-log.json with a
standard recovery entry containing: recovery id, timestamp, selection filters, reason,
records selected, records attempted, imported, already present, failed, deferred,
crosswalk changes, summary changes, operator-visible outcome, and links to detailed logs.
Recovery artifacts are append-only; never overwrite or collapse prior recovery actions.
- Update
execution/live-import-summary.json through a shared summary writer, not by
hand-editing counters in recovery-specific code. The recovery-log entry must include
the summary delta so final state can be reconstructed from standard execution artifacts.
- For public routed entities, consume mapping
urlPolicy and initialize local URL
preservation state before writes. Generate deterministic helpers, or vendor the shared
url-preservation-state.js behavior, to:
- write
base-paths.json from entity-level route policies
- derive from or
Headless storefront codegen rules
When the delivery mode includes a headless storefront (i.e. a wix-headless Astro project
is generated alongside the import), apply these rules in addition to the general codegen
rules above.
Cursor-paginated catalog queries (required). Generated shop and category pages must
never call queryProducts().limit(N).find() once and stop. Wix Stores returns at most 100
items per page — a store with more than 100 products silently truncates the listing.
Always generate a cursor loop in the shared catalog helper and call it from every page
that lists products:
async function listAllProducts(): Promise<Product[]> {
const all: Product[] = [];
let result = await products.queryProducts().limit(100).find();
all.push(...result.items);
while (result.hasNext()) {
result = await result.next();
all.push(...result.items);
}
return all;
}
Apply the same pattern to category-filtered product queries (productsInCategory). This
is a data-correctness requirement, not a UX preference.
Product count display (required). Every generated shop and category page must display
the total product count (e.g. מציג X מוצרים for RTL Hebrew sites, or equivalent).
The count is products.length after the cursor loop completes and must appear above the
product grid.
client:load for primary CTA islands (required). Generated product detail pages must
mount add-to-cart and cart-view React islands with client:load, not client:only.
client:only omits the component from the server-rendered HTML entirely — it is
invisible to crawlers and does not render until after full React hydration.
client:load hydrates immediately on page load. client:only must never be the default
for a primary call-to-action.
URL redirect file for WooCommerce sources (required). When the source platform is
WooCommerce and the delivery includes a storefront, generate frontend/public/_redirects
mapping old WordPress URL patterns to the new Astro routes. At minimum:
/product/:slug /products/:slug 301
/product-category/:slug /category/:slug 301
/shop/ /shop 301
/?p=* / 301
Also generate frontend/src/pages/product/[slug].astro (singular path) as a redirect
shim to /products/[slug] (plural path). This prevents 404s on all inbound links from
the old site. Derive the source URL pattern from the source profile captured during
discovery; /product/ is the standard WooCommerce single-product path.
The _redirects file and redirect shim are required migration outputs, not optional
polish.
When codegen must halt to LLM
Emit execution/llm-handoff.json with needsLlm: true when any of the following occur:
- a native Wix path exists but only an unverified write surface is available
- setup artifacts are insufficient to generate deterministic setup execution
- transform semantics remain unresolved
- a multi-pass relationship strategy cannot be derived deterministically
- the runtime contract required from
rp-target-wix is missing for the mapped target
Output
Summarize which files were generated, which entities they cover, and any remaining implementation gaps.
