migrate-radix-to-base

Migrates React projects and components from Radix UI to Base UI. Use when asked to migrate from radix, move to base-ui, convert radix primitives, or switch a shadcn project's base library. Handles single components ("migrate accordion") and whole projects.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is exceptionally actionable and well-sequenced with strong validation feedback loops. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: it points to nine reference files that are not present in the bundle, leaving the skill partially non-functional.

Suggestions

Create the missing reference files referenced in the body (`universal-patterns.md`, `overlays.md`, `menus.md`, `form-controls.md`, `disclosure.md`, `display-misc.md`, `class-mapping.md`, `wrapper-shapes.md`, `consumer-props.md`) under `references/` so the inline pointers resolve.

If some referenced material is not yet authored, mark those paths clearly as stubs or inline the essential tables so Claude is not left without the props mappings the workflow depends on.

Consider a short "Reference files" index near the top listing each file and its purpose, so the bundle structure is discoverable at a glance.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean, dense operational prose that assumes Claude's competence — no explaining what React/Radix/shadcn are — and every caveat (legacy styles, leftover sweep, coexistence) earns its place rather than padding.	5 / 5
Actionability	Provides fully executable guidance: concrete commands (`npx shadcn@latest info --json`, `shadcn add <component> --overwrite`, `git merge-file user.tsx radix-golden.tsx base-golden.tsx`, `grep -n "radix-ui\\|@radix-ui\\|IconPlaceholder"`) and exact URL patterns.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Clearly sequenced multi-step workflows (Preflight, Strategy, Modes) with explicit validation checkpoints ("Baseline check BEFORE touching dependencies", "typecheck per file", "MANDATORY leftover sweep") and feedback loops (validate → fix → re-validate), appropriate for batch/destructive operations.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	References are well-signaled and one level deep (`universal-patterns.md`, `overlays.md`, `menus.md`, `form-controls.md`, `disclosure.md`, `display-misc.md`, `class-mapping.md`, `wrapper-shapes.md`, `consumer-props.md`), but none of these files exist in any bundle directory, so the navigation breaks in practice.	3 / 5

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that clearly states capabilities, gives multiple natural trigger phrases with synonyms, and explicitly covers both what and when. No vague fluff or over-claims.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "Migrates React projects and components", "convert radix primitives", "switch a shadcn project's base library", plus "Handles single components ... and whole projects" — giving comprehensive coverage of what the skill does.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both "what" (migrates Radix→Base UI) and "when" ("Use when asked to migrate from radix ...") with concrete trigger phrases, hitting the top anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Covers natural user phrasings with synonyms ("migrate from radix", "move to base-ui", "convert radix primitives", "switch a shadcn project's base library") and a concrete example ("migrate accordion"), matching the comprehensive-synonym anchor.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche (Radix→Base UI / shadcn base-library swap) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap with other skills.	5 / 5
	Total	20 / 20 Passed
