Framework-agnostic methodology for migrating a plugin, extension, or integration across a breaking upstream release — inventory coupling points, classify changes, stage the migration, and verify in layers. Use when upgrading any plugin from one host-framework version to another without access to framework-specific migration notes. Not a substitute for vendor release notes; contains no framework-specific facts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Generic Plugin Migration Methodology A disciplined procedure for moving a plugin across an upstream release that may contain breaking changes. Everything here is framework-agnostic: no product names, no version numbers, no API identifiers. Pair it with the upstream project's own changelog and release notes whenever those exist. ## 0. Ground rules - **Never migrate blind.** If you have not read the upstream changelog for every version in the corridor (start → target, inclusive), you are guessing. - **Inventory before edits.** A written list of what the plugin touches beats discovering breakage one crash at a time. - **Change one layer at a time**, and keep the old install runnable until the new one is proven (side-by-side installs, separate data directories). ## 1. Inventory the coupling surface Before touching code, scan the plugin read-only and record every place it couples to the host. A generic coupling checklist: 1. **Manifest / metadata** — declared compatibility ranges, entry points, permissions, capabilities the plugin requests. 2. **Host API imports** — every module, symbol, or type imported from the host …

How to install
mdr add oh-my-dsh/dsh-plugin-upgrade-skill/generic-migration@sha256:dd983557a60a874eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.72a8231, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
