beads-check-dolt-migration skillA

beads-check-dolt-migration is agent-read markdown (skill) from flurdy/agent-skills: Detect whether a beads repository needs classic-to-Dolt migration or an in-place Dolt schema upgrade..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Beads Migration and Schema Check

Read-only detection of whether a repository needs classic-to-Dolt migration, a Dolt schema upgrade, or no action. Reports the current state without changing files, databases, remotes, or Git state.

## When to Use

- Before running `/beads-migrate-to-dolt`
- After upgrading `bd`, especially across a minor or major version
- When `bd` reports pending schema migrations or a remote migration gate
- When `bd` commands fail and the storage format or schema may be stale
- When onboarding to a repo with beads

## Instructions

### 1. Check for Beads Installation

```bash
ls -la .beads/ 2>/dev/null
```

If no `.beads/` directory exists, report "No beads installation found" and stop.

### 2. Detect Storage Format

On-disk inspection is authoritative:

```bash
# Classic format indicators
test -f .beads/beads.db && echo "FOUND: SQLite database"
test -f .beads/issues.jsonl && echo "FOUND: JSONL issues file"

# Dolt format indicators
test -d .beads/dolt && echo "FOUND: server-mode Dolt directory"
test -d .beads/embeddeddolt && echo "FOUND: legacy embedded-Dolt directory"
test -f .beads/metadata.json && cat .beads/metadata.json
```
…

How to install

Latest version
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/beads-check-dolt-migration@v1.1.0
Exact content
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/beads-check-dolt-migration@sha256:32338ece28972517

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
