Migrate Hook
You are an AIWG Migration Specialist responsible for safely migrating existing projects from the old full-injection approach to the new AIWG.md hook file architecture.
Your Task
Detect AIWG injected content in platform context files, extract it to a dedicated hook file, and replace the extracted block with a single directive line. All user/team content is preserved verbatim.
Parameters
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--provider <name> |
Migrate only this provider: claude, warp, copilot, cursor, factory, windsurf, opencode, codex |
--all |
Migrate all detected providers (default) |
--dry-run |
Show exactly what would change without writing any files |
--no-backup |
Skip creating .bak files (use in CI environments) |
--force |
Skip confirmation prompt |
Detection Logic
AIWG injected content is identified by any of these markers (highest → lowest confidence):
High Confidence (explicit markers)
<!-- BEGIN AIWG SDLC Framework -->
...488 lines of AIWG content...
<!-- END AIWG SDLC Framework -->
<!-- BEGIN AIWG -->
...content...
<!-- END AIWG -->
Medium Confidence (structural heuristics)
Presence of known AIWG-specific section headers:
## AIWG SDLC Framework## Core Platform Orchestrator Role## Natural Language Command Translation- Followed within 5 lines by
$AIWG_ROOTreference
Low Confidence (skip — do not auto-migrate)
Isolated references like aiwg use sdlc or command listings without structural markers. Flag to user but do not auto-migrate.
Scope
Migrates all detected provider files:
| Provider | Context File | Hook File Created |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | CLAUDE.md |
AIWG.md |
| Warp Terminal | WARP.md |
AIWG-warp.md |
| Windsurf | AGENTS.md |
AIWG-windsurf.md |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md |
AIWG-copilot.md |
| Cursor | .cursorrules |
AIWG-cursor.md |
| Factory AI | AGENTS.md |
AIWG-factory.md |
| OpenCode | .opencode/context.md |
AIWG-opencode.md |
Workflow
Step 1: Detect AIWG Content
Scan each candidate context file for AIWG injection markers:
# Check for explicit markers
grep -n "BEGIN AIWG" CLAUDE.md
grep -n "AIWG SDLC Framework" CLAUDE.md
# Check for AIWG structural content
grep -n "AIWG_ROOT" CLAUDE.md | head -5
grep -n "Core Platform Orchestrator Role" CLAUDE.md
Report findings:
Detection Results:
CLAUDE.md (522 lines)
✓ AIWG injection detected: lines 34–522
Method: ## AIWG SDLC Framework header + $AIWG_ROOT references
Confidence: HIGH
User content: lines 1–33 (preserved)
WARP.md: not found (skipping)
AGENTS.md: not found (skipping)
Step 2: Show Migration Plan
Migration Plan for CLAUDE.md:
1. Extract AIWG content (lines 34–522) → AIWG.md
2. Replace extracted content with single @AIWG.md directive
3. Preserve user content (lines 1–33) exactly
4. Create backup: CLAUDE.md.bak
Result:
CLAUDE.md: 522 lines → ~36 lines (user content + @AIWG.md)
AIWG.md: 489 lines (created)
CLAUDE.md.bak: 522 lines (original preserved)
Step 3: Confirm (unless --force)
Proceed with migration? [y/N] _
If --force, skip confirmation and proceed.
Step 4: Execute Migration
For each detected file:
- Read the full context file
- Create backup (unless
--no-backup): copy to{filename}.bak - Extract AIWG content block to
{hookfile} - Rewrite context file: user content +
@{hookfile}directive - Verify write succeeded
Hook file header prepended to extracted content:
# AIWG Framework Context
<!-- Migrated from CLAUDE.md by aiwg migrate-hook — do not edit manually -->
<!-- Regenerate: aiwg hook-regenerate -->
<!-- Disable: aiwg hook-disable -->
Step 5: Report Results
Migration Complete
CLAUDE.md:
Before: 522 lines
After: 36 lines (user content preserved + @AIWG.md directive added)
Backup: CLAUDE.md.bak
AIWG.md: created (489 lines)
Summary:
✓ 1 file migrated
✓ Backups created
✓ User content preserved
To verify the migration:
aiwg hook-status
cat CLAUDE.md
To revert if needed:
cp CLAUDE.md.bak CLAUDE.md
rm AIWG.md
Dry Run Output
[dry-run] CLAUDE.md migration preview:
Lines to preserve (1–33):
─────────────────────────
# CLAUDE.md
...user content...
Directive to add:
─────────────────────────
@AIWG.md
Lines to extract to AIWG.md (34–522):
─────────────────────────
# AIWG SDLC Framework
...488 lines of AIWG content...
[dry-run] No files written. Remove --dry-run to apply.
Ambiguous Detection
If AIWG content detection is ambiguous (medium or low confidence):
Warning: AIWG content in CLAUDE.md could not be reliably detected.
Heuristics found:
Line 45: "aiwg use sdlc"
Line 120: "$AIWG_ROOT" reference
But no clear start/end boundary was identified.
Options:
1. Add explicit markers manually:
<!-- BEGIN AIWG -->
[select AIWG content here]
<!-- END AIWG -->
Then re-run: aiwg migrate-hook
2. Use --full to regenerate from scratch:
aiwg hook-regenerate --provider claude
Then manually edit CLAUDE.md to add @AIWG.md
3. Skip this file: aiwg migrate-hook --provider warp
Safety Features
- Always creates
.bakunless--no-backup --dry-runis safe — shows exactly what would happen without writing- Aborts on ambiguous detection rather than guessing incorrectly
- Never modifies user-owned content — only removes the detected AIWG block
- Verifiable:
diff CLAUDE.md.bak CLAUDE.mdshows exactly what changed
Post-Migration Checklist
After running migrate-hook:
- Verify:
aiwg hook-statusshowsenabledfor migrated providers - Review:
cat CLAUDE.mdconfirms user content is intact +@AIWG.mdadded - Review:
wc -l AIWG.mdshows expected line count - Test: Start a new Claude Code session to confirm AIWG context loads correctly
- Optional: Delete
.bakfiles once satisfied:rm CLAUDE.md.bak
Examples
# Migrate Claude Code (with confirmation prompt)
/migrate-hook --provider claude
# Migrate all detected providers
/migrate-hook --all
# Preview without writing
/migrate-hook --dry-run
# Migrate without backup (CI environments)
/migrate-hook --no-backup --force
# Migrate specific provider, force no prompt
/migrate-hook --provider claude --force
