description: Finish migrating a NanoClaw v1 install into v2. Run after `bash migrate-v2.sh` completes. Seeds the owner, migrates legacy memory, reconciles container configs, and helps port custom v1 code. Triggers on "migrate from v1", "finish migration", "v1 migration".
Finish v1 → v2 migration
`bash migrate-v2.sh` already ran the deterministic migration. It handled:
- .env keys merged
- v2 DB seeded (agent_groups, messaging_groups, wiring)
- Group folders copied (v1 CLAUDE.md → v2 CLAUDE.local.md)
- Session data copied with conversation continuity (incl. Claude Code memory + JSONL transcripts)
- Scheduled tasks ported
- Channel code installed and auth state copied (incl. WhatsApp Baileys keystore)
- WhatsApp LIDs resolved from `store/auth` and aliased into `messaging_groups`
- Container skills copied
- Container image built
Your job is the parts that need human judgment: triage failed steps, seed the owner, run the shared-memory migration, reconcile configs, and port fork customizations.
Read `logs/setup-migration/handoff.json` first — it has `overall_status`, per-step results in `steps`, and a `followups` list.
Preflight: was the script run?
Before anything else, check that `logs/setup-migration/handoff.json` exists. If it doesn't, the user is invoking this skill before `migrate-v2.sh` ran. Stop and tell them, verbatim:
> This skill finishes a migration that `migrate-v2.sh` started. Run that first, in your terminal — not from inside Claude: > > ```bash > bash migrate-v2.sh > ``` > > It needs interactive prompts (channel selection, service switchover) and runs Node/pnpm bootstrap, Docker, OneCLI setup, and a container build that don't fit inside a Claude session. When it finishes, it'll hand control back to Claude automatically — at which point this skill picks up.
Do not attempt to run the script yourself, simulate its effects, or pick up the migration mid-stream. The deterministic side has dependencies on a real interactive shell.
Once `handoff.json` exists, proceed to Phase 0.
Phase 0: Get v2 routing real messages
Before any deeper migration work, prove v2 actually answers messages on the user's real channels. v1 is paused, not touched — flipping back is a service restart.
0a — Fix blockers only
Walk `handoff.steps`. Fix only the failures that would stop the bot from routing one message; defer the rest to its later phase.
0b — Smoke test, then continue
Tell the user the switch is non-destructive (v1 is paused, not modified; reverting is one command). Help them stop v1's service unit and start v2's, tail the host log for a clean boot, and have them send a real test message. Use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm the bot responded.
If yes, continue to Phase 1. If no, diagnose from `logs/nanoclaw.log` and re-test — don't proceed to deeper work on a broken router.
Deferred failures
Re-visit anything you skipped in 0a before declaring the migration done. Most surface naturally in later phases (`1c-groups` ↔ Phase 2, `1e-tasks` ↔ task verification).
Phase 1: Owner and access
v2 auto-creates a `users` row for every sender it sees (via `extractAndUpsertUser` in `src/modules/permissions/index.ts`). By the time this skill runs, the owner's row likely already exists — it just needs the `owner` role granted.
**User ID format**: always `<channel_type>:<platform_handle>`. Each channel populates this differently:
- **Telegram**: `telegram:<numeric_user_id>` (e.g. `telegram:6037840640`)
- **Discord**: `discord:<snowflake_user_id>` (e.g. `discord:123456789012345678`)
- **WhatsApp**: `whatsapp:<phone>@s.whatsapp.net` (e.g. `whatsapp:14155551234@s.whatsapp.net`)
- **Slack**: `slack:<user_id>` (e.g. `slack:U04ABCDEF`)
- **Others**: `<channel_type>:<platform_id>`
**Steps:**
1. Query `users` table: `SELECT id, kind, display_name FROM users`. 2. If exactly one user exists, confirm: `AskUserQuestion`: "Is `<display_name>` (`<id>`) you?" — Yes / No, let me type it. 3. If multiple users exist, present them as options in `AskUserQuestion`. 4. If no users exist yet (service hasn't received a message), ask the user to send a test message first, then re-query. 5. Once confirmed, check `user_roles` via `getUserRoles(userId)`. If an `owner` row already exists, skip. Otherwise grant it with `grantRole`. `grantRole` inserts a new row per call, so the `getUserRoles` check keeps this re-runnable.
Use the DB helpers in `src/modules/permissions/db/user-roles.ts` (`getUserRoles`, `grantRole`). Init the DB first, then call the helpers:
import { closeDb, initDb } from '../src/db/connection.js';
import { runMigrations } from '../src/db/migrations/index.js';
import { CENTRAL_DB_PATH } from '../src/config.js';
import { getUserRoles, grantRole } from '../src/modules/permissions/db/user-roles.js';
const db = await initDb(CENTRAL_DB_PATH);
try {
await runMigrations(db); // idempotent
const userId = '<user_id>';
if (!(await getUserRoles(userId)).some((r) => r.role === 'owner')) {
await grantRole({
user_id: userId,
role: 'owner',
agent_group_id: null, // owner role must be global
granted_by: null,
granted_at: new Date().toISOString(),
});
}
} finally {
await closeDb();
}Access policy
After seeding the owner, discuss the access policy. v2's `messaging_groups.unknown_sender_policy` controls who can interact with the bot. `migrate-v2.sh` set it to `public` so the bot would respond during the switchover test, but the user may want to tighten it.
Present the options via `AskUserQuestion`:
1. **Public** (`public`, current) — anyone can message the bot. Good for personal DM bots. 2. **Known users only** (`strict`) — only users the access gate accepts (owner, admin, or `agent_group_members`) can trigger the bot. Others are silently dropped. 3. **Approval required** (`request_approval`) — unknown senders trigger an approval request to the owner. Good for group chats where you want to vet new members.
