migrate-wdyd

Migrate what-did-you-do data files from the old `~/.things/interview-prep/` layout to the per-plugin `~/.things/what-did-you-do/` directory structure. This moves session files, question overrides, company prep plans, and converts the markdown progress dashboard to JSON.

This skill handles data file relocation only. Config migration (config.yml -> config.json + preferences.json) is handled by /things:setup-things. Run /things:setup-things first if config.json doesn't exist yet.

Check Prerequisites

<load-config>
  <action>Resolve the user's home directory.</action>
  <command language="bash" output="home" tool="Bash">echo $HOME</command>
  <constraint>Never pass `~` to the Read tool.</constraint>

  <read path="<home>/.things/config.json" output="config" />
  <if condition="config-missing">Tell the user: "Run `/things:setup-things` first to initialize your .things directory." Then stop.</if>

  <action>Check for old data.</action>
  <command language="bash" tool="Bash">ls -d <home>/.things/interview-prep 2>/dev/null</command>

  <if condition="no-old-data-found">
    Tell the user: "No old what-did-you-do data found to migrate. Your data is already in the new location or hasn't been created yet." Then stop.
  </if>
</load-config>

Show Migration Plan

<action>Inventory old data.</action>

<command language="bash" tool="Bash">

echo "sessions: $(ls /.things/interview-prep/sessions/.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ') files" echo "question-overrides: $(ls -d /.things/interview-prep/question-overrides 2>/dev/null && echo 'yes' || echo 'no')" echo "company prep plans: $(ls /.things/interview-prep/companies/.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ') files" echo "progress.md: $([ -f /.things/interview-prep/progress.md ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'no')"

<output>
what-did-you-do migration plan:

Data moves:
- `interview-prep/sessions/` (<n> files) -> `what-did-you-do/sessions/`
- `interview-prep/question-overrides/` -> `what-did-you-do/questions/`
- `interview-prep/companies/` (<n> files) -> `what-did-you-do/` (company prep plans)

Format conversions:
- `interview-prep/progress.md` -> `what-did-you-do/progress.json`
</output>

<if condition="dry-run-flag">Show the plan and stop. Do not move any files.</if>

<ask-user>
  Use AskUserQuestion: "Proceed with what-did-you-do data migration?"
  - Yes -- move files now
  - No -- cancel

Create Target Directories

<command language="bash" tool="Bash">mkdir -p <home>/.things/what-did-you-do/sessions</command>
<command language="bash" tool="Bash">mkdir -p <home>/.things/what-did-you-do/questions</command>

Move Data Files

<constraint>Use `mv` (not `cp`) to avoid duplicates. Skip items that don't exist.</constraint>

<command language="bash" tool="Bash">mv <home>/.things/interview-prep/sessions/* <home>/.things/what-did-you-do/sessions/ 2>/dev/null || true</command>

<phase name="question-overrides" number="1">
  <action>Move question overrides, renaming the directory.</action>
  <command language="bash" tool="Bash">mv <home>/.things/interview-prep/question-overrides/* <home>/.things/what-did-you-do/questions/ 2>/dev/null || true</command>
</phase>

<phase name="company-prep-plans" number="2">
  <action>Move company prep plan files (these sit directly in the plugin directory).</action>
  <command language="bash" tool="Bash">mv <home>/.things/interview-prep/companies/*.md <home>/.things/what-did-you-do/ 2>/dev/null || true</command>
</phase>

Convert progress.md to progress.json

<if condition="progress-md-exists">
  <read path="<home>/.things/interview-prep/progress.md" output="progress" />
  <action>Parse the markdown: extract dimension scores (Specificity, Structure, Impact, Relevance, Self-Advocacy), category breakdown if present, and session history entries.</action>

  <write path="<home>/.things/what-did-you-do/progress.json">
    <schema name="progress-json">
    ```json
    {
      "version": 1,
      "last_updated": "<current_date>",
      "dimensions": {
        "specificity": { "average": 0, "trend": "stable" },
        "structure": { "average": 0, "trend": "stable" },
        "impact": { "average": 0, "trend": "stable" },
        "relevance": { "average": 0, "trend": "stable" },
        "self_advocacy": { "average": 0, "trend": "stable" }
      },
      "sessions": []
    }
    ```
    </schema>
  </write>

  <constraint>Populate actual values from the parsed markdown. Use the schema above as the structure, filling in real data.</constraint>
</if>

<if condition="no-progress-md">Skip this step.</if>

Clean Up Empty Old Directories

<command language="bash" tool="Bash">

rmdir /.things/interview-prep/sessions 2>/dev/null || true rmdir /.things/interview-prep/question-overrides 2>/dev/null || true rmdir /.things/interview-prep/companies 2>/dev/null || true rmdir /.things/interview-prep 2>/dev/null || true

<constraint>Only `rmdir` (not `rm -rf`) -- this safely fails if directories aren't empty. If progress.md is the only remaining file, leave it as a backup until the user removes it manually.</constraint>

Verify Migration

<command language="bash" tool="Bash">

echo "sessions: $(ls /.things/what-did-you-do/sessions/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ') files" echo "questions: $(ls /.things/what-did-you-do/questions/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ') files" echo "progress.json: $([ -f /.things/what-did-you-do/progress.json ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'no')"

Handle Git

<git-workflow>
  <action>Read git workflow from `<home>/.things/config.json`.</action>

  <if condition="workflow-auto">
    <command language="bash" tool="Bash">git -C <home>/.things add -A && git -C <home>/.things commit -m "migrate: what-did-you-do data to per-plugin directory" && git -C <home>/.things push</command>
  </if>
  <if condition="workflow-ask">
    <ask-user>Use AskUserQuestion: "Commit migrated files to .things repo?"
      - Yes -- commit and push
      - Commit only -- commit without pushing
      - No -- I'll handle git myself
    </ask-user>
  </if>
  <if condition="workflow-manual">Tell the user their files have been moved and they can commit when ready.</if>
</git-workflow>
