CDS migrator transform (jscodeshift)

Adds or updates a jscodeshift transform under packages/migrator/src/transforms/.

Where to put files is not always a “version” folder. Choose a subdirectory (or root) that fits the work:

• Major / preset migrations often use a version-style folder (v9/, v10/, …) aligned with a preset such as v8-to-v9.
• Other codemods (rename, internal API move, one-off cleanup) can live under any clear grouping the team agrees on (v9/ still, a feature folder, or directly under transforms/).

Follow the steps in order unless the user already locked scope.

Prerequisites

• Nx + yarn: run migrator commands as yarn nx run migrator:<target> (see repo AGENTS.md).
• Sourcegraph MCP (strongly recommended): Before calling Sourcegraph tools, read the tool schema under mcps/user-sourcegraph/tools/ (e.g. sourcegraph_search.json, sourcegraph_fetch_file.json). If Sourcegraph is not configured, tell the user to add the Sourcegraph MCP server in Cursor MCP settings and authenticate if required, then continue with workspace grep or whatever source the user provides. Do not invent search queries or repo filters in this skill—use the symbols, repositories, queries, or links the user gives you; if they omitted search context, ask what to search before assuming scope.

1 — Define the migration

Capture explicitly:

1. Symbol(s) to migrate (export name, import path, prop name, type name, etc.).
2. Desired outcome: rename, change import path/module, replace expression, map enum/string values, add local type alias, etc.
3. Preset (if any) and on-disk location: whether this ships in a preset (packages/migrator/src/presets/<preset>/manifest.json) or runs only via -t <name> without a preset entry. Pick the directory under transforms/ for the new files (versioned v9/ / v10/, or another name, or transforms/ root). Align the manifest file field with that path when you add an entry (see step 7).

If anything is ambiguous, ask the user before coding.

---

2 — Platform scope: one transform or two?

1. Web-only (e.g. CSS, DOM, @coinbase/cds-web): single transform, typically under transforms/<subdir>/<name>-web.ts or a neutral name if only web is affected.
2. Mobile-only (e.g. React Native, @coinbase/cds-mobile): single transform for mobile.
3. Both with different replacement rules (e.g. DimensionValue → web local alias vs RN import): two transforms (…-web.ts, …-mobile.ts).
4. Both with identical AST changes: one transform is enough.

Document in the transform file header what is migrated and what is not (re-exports, require, dynamic import, etc.).

---

3 — Research usage (Sourcegraph + repo)

1. Inputs from the user: They should supply what to look for—symbol names, old/new APIs, repos or orgs to include, example file paths, or concrete Sourcegraph queries. Follow that source of truth; do not rely on fixed query templates in this skill.
2. Sourcegraph MCP: Run searches and fetches using the user’s queries and scope. Read MCP tool schemas first. Use sourcegraph_fetch_file when line previews are not enough.
3. This monorepo: Supplement with grep / Glob under packages/ when the migration touches CDS itself or when the user asks for in-repo usage.

Record a short list of patterns you actually saw in the results (import style, re-exports, edge cases)—derived from discovery, not from a checklist in this doc.

OSS hygiene: Research may reference internal repos or paths. Anything committed to this repo (fixtures, test comments, JSDoc) must stay generic: neutral component names, no internal hostnames or file paths, no product codenames. Describe fixtures as “representative pattern” or “composite example” only—see §6.

---

4 — Case matrix and user confirmation

From research, build a table:

Case	Example	Automate in codemod?	If not: strategy
…	…	Yes / No	TODO comment / skip / doc only

Stop and confirm with the user which rows to automate vs leave manual/TODO-only before implementing non-trivial logic. Call out gaps that their search surfaced but the AST transform will not handle (re-exports, dynamic imports, etc., as applicable).

---

5 — Implement transforms

Location: packages/migrator/src/transforms/<subdir>/<name>.ts, or transforms/<name>.ts at the transforms root. The manifest file value (when used) must be the path relative to transforms/ without extension, e.g. v9/my-transform, v10/my-transform, or my-oneoff/my-transform.

Patterns:

• Default export: export default function transformer(file, api, options) (required by jscodeshift; no-restricted-exports is off for packages/migrator/src/transforms/**/*.ts in root eslint.config.mjs).
• Import transformLogger, addTodoComment, hasMigrationTodo from transform-utils. Typical depths: ../../utils/transform-utils from transforms/<subdir>/<name>.ts; ../utils/transform-utils from transforms/<name>.ts. If you nest deeper under transforms/, add one ../ per extra level.
• Package scope from jscodeshift options: When matching or rewriting @<scope>/cds-… import paths, use getPackageScopeFromOptions(options) from ../../utils/package-scope (same depth pattern as transform-utils). The cds-migrator CLI forwards --packageScope / -ps into options.packageScope (coinbase or @coinbase both normalize to @coinbase). If set, only rewrite modules under that scope; if omitted, match any scope (e.g. regex like @…/cds-common/…). State this in the transform’s file header so consumers know they can narrow runs. Reference: packages/migrator/src/transforms/v9/migrate-use-merge-refs.ts and packages/migrator/src/utils/package-scope.ts.
• Import mappings from jscodeshift options: When a transform matches imports by their source path, apply import mappings before running the regex so that consumers who proxy CDS through a wrapper package (e.g. @acme/shared/cds → @coinbase/cds-web) are also covered. Use getImportMappingsFromOptions(options) and applyImportMappings(src, rewrites) from ../../utils/import-mapping (same depth pattern as ). The CLI passes mappings via (repeatable flag) or via a file at the repo root / target path (); CLI values win on conflicts. Apply the rewrite only for —never mutate the actual in the AST unless the transform is explicitly rewriting import paths. Reference: and .

Reference examples in-repo: transforms/v9/ (migrate-use-merge-refs.ts, button-variant-values.ts, migrate-layout-types-*.ts).

6 — Tests and fixtures

Goal: exhaustive behavior coverage with minimal on-disk goldens. Follow what transforms/v9/__tests__/ does today.

Inline-first (default)

1. Test file: packages/migrator/src/transforms/<subdir>/__tests__/<name>.test.ts.
2. Most cases live inline as string sources. Prefer **runInlineTest(transform, options, { path: '…', source: \…` }, expectedString, tsxTestOptions)** from **jscodeshift/src/testUtils** for the full transformed output (or **''** when the codemod should no-op). Avoid **applyTransform** + fragment expect`s unless there is a rare reason not to pin an exact golden.
3. Imports: tsxTestOptions from ../../../test-utils/codemodTestUtils (path depth matches one __tests__/ folder under transforms/<subdir>/). That module currently exports only tsxTestOptions ({ parser: 'tsx' }).
4. Mock console.log / console.warn when transforms log during tests (see existing v9 tests).

Cover: patterns from the user’s research, idempotency, no-op when nothing migrates, scope-aware behavior (packageScope / -ps) via runInlineTest(transform, { packageScope: '@coinbase' }, …).

Paired file fixtures (sparingly)

Use at most one or two paired foo.input.tsx / foo.output.tsx per transform suite for larger composite examples (multi-import layouts, full component excerpts). Everything else stays inline.

1. Directory: packages/migrator/src/transforms/<subdir>/__testfixtures__/<suite-name>/ (e.g. <suite-name> matches the transform id: button-variant-values, migrate-use-merge-refs).
2. Run paired tests with runTest(__dirname, '<transform-name>', {}, '<suite-name>/<base>', tsxTestOptions) — the prefix is suite-folder/base without extension.
3. List E2E cases explicitly in the test file, e.g. const E2E_PAIRED_PREFIXES = ['button-variant-values/e2e-survey-confirmation-panel', …] as const and it.each(E2E_PAIRED_PREFIXES)('%s', (prefix) => { runTest(…); }). Do not assume a filesystem discovery helper exists.

OSS-safe comments

• Fixture files and test JSDoc must not cite internal hosts, confidential repos, real consumer file paths, or product-specific component names used in research.
• Prefer short comments like “Representative pattern: …” or “Composite … props” and fictional export names (SurveyConfirmationPanel, ChatToolbarActions, not internal codenames).
• Sourcegraph remains valuable during development; keep findings out of committed strings unless they are already public (e.g. this monorepo).

Prettier

__testfixtures__ is in .prettierignore—golden outputs must match the codemod’s toSource() exactly.

Run until green:

yarn nx run migrator:test --testPathPattern='<your-test-pattern>'
yarn nx run migrator:typecheck
yarn nx format:write --projects=migrator
# or format only non-fixture sources, e.g.:
# yarn nx format:write --files=<changed files excluding __testfixtures__>
yarn nx run migrator:lint

Reference tests: transforms/v9/__tests__/button-variant-values.test.ts, migrate-use-merge-refs.test.ts, migrate-layout-types-web.test.ts, migrate-layout-types-mobile.test.ts.

7 — Preset manifest

Only if this codemod should appear in a preset (major upgrade bundle, curated migration set, etc.): add an entry to packages/migrator/src/presets/<preset>/manifest.json:

• name: stable CLI identifier.
• description: short, user-facing.
• file: path relative to transforms/ without extension—must match where the file actually lives (e.g. v9/my-transform, v10/my-transform, or some-group/my-transform).

Non-version / standalone codemods may omit the preset entirely and still be run with the migrator CLI (e.g. -t <name>). See packages/migrator/docs/PRESETS_AND_TRANSFORMS.md. If omitted from any preset, say so in the PR/summary.

Checklist (before finishing)

• User confirmed automatable vs manual cases.
• Web/mobile split matches real replacement behavior.
• Coverage matches sources, scopes, and cases the user specified (anything out of scope is documented).
• Tests: inline cases for edges + 0–2 paired E2E fixtures; OSS-safe names/comments; migrator:test, migrator:lint, and migrator:typecheck pass; formatting applied (non-fixture sources as needed).
• If the transform is preset-backed: manifest entry added and file matches the real path under transforms/ (no mismatch between folder name and file). If standalone: team knows how to invoke it (CLI / docs).
• Transform header documents limitations (export … from, require, dynamic import, etc.).
• If the transform is scope-aware: behavior with and without options.packageScope / CLI -ps is documented and covered by tests where relevant.
• If the transform matches import paths: applyImportMappings is called before the regex so wrapper/re-exporting packages are handled; behavior with and without --import-mapping / cds-migrator.config.json is documented and covered by tests where relevant.
