# rsbuild-v2-upgrade

Walks a Rsbuild 1.x project through the v2 migration: dependencies, config, breaking options. Useful when a major bump would otherwise eat an evening.

## What it does

The skill inspects your setup first. It reads `package.json` to find the Rsbuild and plugin packages in use, then locates the config file — usually `rsbuild.config.(ts|js|mjs|cjs)`. From there it compares the project against the official v1 → v2 guide and lists the breaking changes that actually apply: removed or renamed options, changed defaults, plugin API shifts.

Dependency bumps run on two tracks. `@rsbuild/core` goes to v2, and the Rsbuild plugins move to their latest majors with `npx taze major --include /rsbuild/ -w -r`. Then come the config and code edits: drop settings v2 no longer supports, align the rest with the new options. Validation closes the loop — build, dev command, tests or type checks, with the new version's warnings worked through.

The official guide is the source of truth here, not the model's memory, so the skill opens it before planning anything. If your project uses a plugin the guide doesn't cover, you'll have to check that behaviour yourself.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rsbuild-v2-upgrade -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rsbuild-v2-upgrade -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rsbuild-v2-upgrade -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install rstackjs/agent-skills rsbuild-v2-upgrade
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rsbuild-v2-upgrade -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/rstackjs/agent-skills --path skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rstackjs/agent-skills --skill rsbuild-v2-upgrade -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/rstackjs/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/rsbuild-v2-upgrade/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- bump @rsbuild/core to v2 without missing breaking changes
- find config options that v2 removed or renamed
- update Rsbuild plugins to their latest majors in one command
- work through warnings and errors after the version switch
- re-run build, dev and tests once the migration lands

## Example prompts
- Upgrade this project from Rsbuild 1.x to v2 and show what breaks in the config
- Go through the migration guide and list the changes for my rsbuild.config.ts
- Bump @rsbuild/core to v2 and verify the build and tests

# Rsbuild v1 to v2 upgrade

## Workflow

1. **Confirm current setup**
   - Read `package.json` to identify Rsbuild and plugin packages in use.
   - Locate the Rsbuild config file (commonly `rsbuild.config.(ts|js|mjs|cjs)`).

2. **Open the official upgrade guide**
   - Use the v1 → v2 guide as the source of truth:
     - https://rsbuild.rs/guide/upgrade/v1-to-v2

3. **Plan the upgrade path**
   - Compare the current project config with the migration guide.
   - List breaking changes that apply to the project’s current config and plugins.
   - Note any removed or renamed options, defaults, or plugin APIs.

4. **Update dependencies**
   - Bump `@rsbuild/core` to v2
   - Bump Rsbuild plugins to latest versions via `npx taze major --include /rsbuild/ -w -r`

5. **Apply config and code changes**
   - Update the Rsbuild config to match v2 options and defaults.
   - Remove deprecated or unsupported settings.

6. **Validate**
   - Run the build and dev commands.
   - Run project tests or type checks.
   - Fix any warnings or errors surfaced by the new version.
```
