## `cva-migrate`

[`cva-migrate`](https://github.com/joe-bell/cva/tree/main/skills/cva-migrate) upgrades a project between `cva` versions. Install it for repeated use, or paste the prompt into your agent to run it once:

* Command

  ```sh
  npx skills add https://github.com/joe-bell/cva --skill cva-migrate
  ```

* Prompt

  ```text
  Run `npx skills use "https://github.com/joe-bell/cva" --skill "cva-migrate"` and follow the generated skill instructions now. Read its complete output, redirecting it to a temporary file first if necessary. Resolve relative paths from the supporting-files directory it provides.
  ```

Then tell the agent which version to install:

> Migrate this project to `cva@1.0.0-beta.11`.

The first curated route upgrades `cva@1.0.0-beta.0` through `beta.10` to `beta.11`. For other routes, the skill checks every relevant [GitHub release](https://github.com/joe-bell/cva/releases), the tagged package metadata, and the published npm artifacts. It stops if those sources do not support a migration step.
