## What it does

This skill inventories Runpod GraphQL API and REST v1 usage, separates existing REST v2 calls, and suggests a file-by-file edit order. It rewrites call sites, flags breaking changes, and helps verify the migration.

It includes the stdlib-only Python scanner `rp_api_inventory.py`. The scanner writes `runpod-api-inventory.md`, can produce JSON, and detects URLs, field names, SDK or CLI wrappers, and the serverless job API. Remove the report or add it to `.gitignore` before handing back the project.

The scanner uses regex line scanning, so indirect paths and a base URL stored in configuration need manual review. Do not change `api.runpod.ai/v2`: that is the separate serverless job API, outside this migration.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add runpod/runpod-plugins-official --skill runpod-migrate -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add runpod/runpod-plugins-official --skill runpod-migrate -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add runpod/runpod-plugins-official --skill runpod-migrate -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install runpod/runpod-plugins-official runpod-migrate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/runpod-migrate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add runpod/runpod-plugins-official --skill runpod-migrate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/runpod/runpod-plugins-official --path plugins/runpod/skills/runpod-migrate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add runpod/runpod-plugins-official --skill runpod-migrate -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/runpod/runpod-plugins-official/tree/HEAD/plugins/runpod/skills/runpod-migrate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find Runpod GraphQL API calls in a repository
- separate REST v1 usage from REST v2
- spot renamed API response fields
- prepare call sites for REST v2
- avoid changing serverless job API paths

## Example prompts
- Migrate this repository from Runpod REST v1 to REST v2.
- Show me which files still use the Runpod GraphQL API.
- What would change if we move this project to Runpod REST v2?

# Migrate to Runpod REST v2

Moves a codebase off the **GraphQL API** (`api.runpod.io/graphql`) and **REST v1**
(`rest.runpod.io/v1`) onto **REST v2** (`api.runpod.io/v2`).

**The payoff, in one line each** — you deliver these to the user at step 6, matched to
their actual code. Don't recite them now:

- **See stock before you rent** — `GET /v2/catalog/gpus?include=AVAILABILITY&product=POD`. v1 had no
  catalog at all, so every capacity retry loop was blind.
- **Endpoints return their own job URLs** — `requestUrls.run`, no more string-building.
- **Real lifecycle states** — `PROVISIONING`/`STARTING`/`ERROR` and an `actions` list, so
  wait-loops fail fast instead of timing out.
- **Mistakes fail loudly** — unknown request fields are rejected by name, with structured
  errors and honest status codes.

The full set, organized as *if their code does X → v2 offers Y*:
**[reference/unlocks.md](reference/unlocks.md)** — open it at step 6.

## Before you touch any code

**Infer the scope, state it, and move** — do not open with a questionnaire:

| The user says | Scope |
| --- | --- |
| "migrate to v2" / nothing specific | `all` — REST v1 **and** GraphQL |
| "just the REST stuff", "leave GraphQL alone" | `rest` — REST v1 only |
| "get us off GraphQL" | `graphql` — GraphQL only |

The table resolves every phrasing, so scope is not the thing to interrupt for. Say which
row you matched and carry on. **The question that does need asking comes later** — at
step 3, when the inventory shows the code depends on a capability v2 removed. That one
is a real fork and you cannot answer it for them.

Some things **have no v2 equivalent and must stay on GraphQL regardless of scope**:
account/billing identity (`myself`) and spot/interruptible pods. A "full" migration still
leaves those calls in place — say so up front rather than letting the user discover it at
the end.

**Never rewrite the serverless job API.** `https://api.runpod.ai/v2/<endpointId>/run`,
`/runsync`, `/status`, `/stream`, `/cancel` is a *different API* that happens to have
`v2` in its path. It is unchanged and out of scope. The inventory reports it separately
so you do not touch it.
