Migrate From 0.x Skill

Process steps in order. Do not skip ahead — but in any single migration only the steps that match the user's code will produce changes; the rest are no-ops the user can skim. Don't chase compile errors blind; start with Step 1 and work down.

Step 1 — Bump the Build Toolchain

JDK 17 is the minimum in 1.0 (#1931). Targeting 8/11 fails to compile.

kotlin {
    jvmToolchain(17)
}

Kotlin 2.3.10 is the recommended version. Android consumers must set android.useAndroidX=true in gradle.properties. Bump these before bumping the Koog dependency — otherwise the build fails on the toolchain check before you can read the API errors.

Proceed immediately to Step 2.

Step 2 — Bump Coordinates

Change every ai.koog:* artifact to 1.0.0 (or later). Don't leave mixed versions — pre-1.0 and 1.0 do not interoperate.

If the codebase pulled Ktor types from Koog packages, that route was closed in 1.0 — add ai.koog:http-client-ktor:1.0.0 explicitly. Run ./gradlew dependencies | grep -i ktor if unsure.

Proceed immediately to Step 3.

Step 3 — Fix Construction Sites

• AIAgent.invoke(...) → top-level AIAgent(...) factory (#1882). Call site reads the same; the resolution target changed
• Direct constructors of GraphAIAgent / FunctionalAIAgent / PlannerAIAgent → top-level AIAgent(...) factory
• AIAgentService.invoke(...), ToolRegistry.invoke(...), RollbackToolRegistry.invoke(...), AIAgentPlannerStrategy.invoke(...) → top-level functions

Proceed immediately to Step 4.

Step 4 — Planner Module Split

If the codebase uses planners, add the new module:

implementation("ai.koog:agents-planner:1.0.0")

Then:

• AIAgentPlannerStrategy.builder() and AIAgentPlannerStrategy.goap() → AIAgentPlannerStrategy(name, planner), Planners.goap(...), Planners.llmBased(...), Planners.llmBasedWithCritic(...)
• Subclasses of AIAgentPlanner / JavaAIAgentPlanner need new initializeState and provideOutput overrides

Proceed immediately to Step 5.

Step 5 — Graph DSL Renames (#2035)

If the codebase uses the strategy { ... } DSL:

• String-input nodes: nodeLLMRequest*, nodeLLMModerateText
• Message.User-input nodes: nodeLLMSendMessage*, nodeLLMSendToolResults*, nodeLLMModerateMessage
• nodeExecuteTools() now returns ReceivedToolResults directly — the auto-writeback variant is gone. Chain explicitly to nodeLLMSendToolResults (Skill(skill: "author-strategy") covers the full chain)

Compile-time errors will surface these; the fix is the rename, not a redesign.

Proceed immediately to Step 6.

Step 6 — Java Interop (#2005)

If the codebase has Java consumers of Koog APIs:

• xxx from Java, xxxBlocking from Kotlin — ExecutorService / Executor parameters were removed throughout
• NonSuspendAIAgentStrategy → AIAgentStrategyBlocking
• NonSuspendAIAgentFunctionalStrategy → AIAgentFunctionalStrategyBlocking
• FeatureMessageProcessor.javaNonSuspend* → FeatureMessageProcessor.*Blocking
• Kotlin↔Java↔Kotlin re-entrant calls no longer deadlock (#1945) — remove the hand-rolled workaround if it exists

Proceed immediately to Step 7.

Step 7 — HTTP Transport (#2006)

If the code constructs LLMClient instances directly:

• LLMClient constructors now take KoogHttpClient.Factory, not a Ktor HttpClient
• SimplePromptExecutorsKt was renamed SimplePromptExecutors — update Java imports
• OllamaClient.baseUrl parameter removed — pass it via KoogHttpClient configuration

For default JVM use, simpleOpenAIExecutor(apiKey) (and its siblings) still resolve without a factory argument because the JVM auto-discovers one — code that uses only the simple executors usually doesn't need changes.

Proceed immediately to Step 8.

Step 8 — Memory APIs

If the code installs the AgentMemory feature:

• AgentMemory was removed. Install LongTermMemory instead — invoke Skill(skill: "manage-state") for the install steps
• Renames inside LongTermMemory: QueryExtractor → SearchQueryProvider; ExtractionStrategy → DocumentExtractor; IngestionTiming is gone
• RetrieveFactsFromHistory was extracted out of AgentMemory — now standalone in agents-core

Proceed immediately to Step 9.

Step 9 — OpenTelemetry

If the code installs OpenTelemetry:

• JVM-only knobs (addSpanExporter, addMetricExporter, addMetricFilter) moved to OpenTelemetryConfigJvm — update imports
• addResourceAttributes signature changed to Map<String, Any>
• SpanEndStatus → StatusData
• The ai.koog.agents.features.opentelemetry.event package and event APIs on GenAIAgentSpan (events, addEvent, addEvents, removeEvent) were removed. Replace with span attributes (gen_ai.input.messages / gen_ai.output.messages)
• JVM shutdown hook no longer installed automatically — opt in via setShutdownOnAgentClose(true)

Proceed immediately to Step 10.

Step 10 — Persistence

If the code uses persistence/checkpoints:

• Type spelling: Persistency* → Persistence*
• AIAgentPipeline / AIAgentPipelineImpl → AIAgentPipelineAPI + AIAgentGraphPipeline / AIAgentPlannerPipeline
• AgentCheckpointData shape changed — nodePath, lastInput, lastOutput moved inside properties: JSONObject
• AIAgentStorageKey equality is now name-based
• AIAgentStorage() no-arg constructor replaced by AIAgentStorage(serializer)
• AIAgentStorage.toMap() removed

Proceed immediately to Step 11.

Step 11 — Prompt Package Move

• ai.koog.prompt.dsl.Prompt → ai.koog.prompt.Prompt (#2022)
• The prompt { ... } builder DSL stays in ai.koog.prompt.dsl. Imports for the builder don't change; imports for Prompt itself do

Proceed immediately to Step 12.

Step 12 — Clocks

If the code passes a Clock to Koog APIs:

• kotlin.time.Clock parameters replaced by KoogClock (#1925). Update test doubles too — KoogClock.System is the default

Proceed immediately to Step 13.

Step 13 — Retired Models

Check model references in the code:

• AnthropicModels.Haiku_3 — removed; pick a current Anthropic entry
• BedrockModels.AnthropicClaude3Haiku — removed
• Several older Google/DeepSeek model entries were retired

New in 1.0 worth knowing: AnthropicModels.Opus_4_7, GPT-5.5/GPT-5.5 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro, Bedrock Kimi K 2.5 / MiniMax 2.5 / Gemma 3 / GPT OSS, Ollama gpt-oss / qwen3.5, LiteRT (local Google).

Proceed immediately to Step 14.

Step 14 — Build

Run ./gradlew build. The earlier steps cover the structural changes; remaining errors are usually unrelated to migration (project-specific code paths). If a compile error still references a Koog symbol, re-check Steps 3–13 — the symbol was probably renamed in one of them.

Finish here.
