Code import

Spec §10 / §21.3.2: a code-migration / tune-collab run starts from a

real repo (cloned via od project import or a path the user

provided). This atom turns the raw checkout into a normalised

on-disk record that subsequent atoms (design-extract,

rewrite-plan, patch-edit) operate against. The point is to

stop re-walking the tree on every turn — the agent reads

code/index.json once and trusts the snapshot until the next

explicit re-import.

Inputs

| Source | Required | Notes |

| --- | --- | --- |

| repoPath | yes | Absolute path to the repo's root, supplied via od project import or an upstream od.context.assets[] reference |

| targetStack | yes | { framework, packageManager, styleSystem, componentLibrary } via the matching form GenUI surface |

Output

project-cwd/
└── code/
    ├── index.json         # { files: { path, size, language, imports[] }[], packageJson?, lockfileKind, framework, styleSystem }
    ├── components.json    # detected components with file path + props snapshot
    ├── routes.json        # detected routing model (next/app, react-router, vite-router, …)
    └── meta.json          # { repoPath, gitSha, walkedAt, atomDigest, walkBudgetMs }

code/index.json is the input every other Phase 7 atom reads. The

walk respects the runner's budgetMs option (default 60s) so

large monorepos don't burn an entire run on import.

Convergence

The atom completes when code/index.json exists and contains at

least one entry. Empty repos abort with a clear error event so the

user re-imports.

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

  • Walking node_modules / .git / .next / dist / build (record in

code/index.json.skipped[] with reason).

  • Inferring a framework from a single file; require at least

package.json's declared dep + a build-config presence

(next.config.*, vite.config.*, etc.).

  • Treating commented-out imports as live edges.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in

apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/code-import.ts. The walker enforces its

exclusions and time budget, detects framework evidence, and writes

code/index.json.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take nexu-io/code-import from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
