About
The migrate-app-to-flows skill "MUST be used when migrating a legacy Dune app to the new Flows app hosting infrastructure. Orchestrates the full migration: audits current state, updates app.json to appsApi infra, delegates auth wiring to setup-flows-auth, creates or updates manifest.json network permissions, and updates deploy scripts to @cognite/cli. Use this whenever a user says 'migrate to Flows', 'migrate to new infra', 'move from dune to flows', 'migrate legacy app', or wants to move their existing app to the new Flows app hosting." It covers use full origin scheme + hostname in sources , not just the hostname.. Key workflows include "connect-src" covers fetch / XMLHttpRequest . Use "img-src" for image URLs, "font-src" for fonts.. Developers invoke migrate-app-to-flows when the task matches the triggers and reference files in SKILL.md for grounded, stepwise execution.
- Use full origin scheme + hostname in sources , not just the hostname.
- "connect-src" covers fetch / XMLHttpRequest . Use "img-src" for image URLs, "font-src" for fonts.
- The CDF cluster URL is allowed automatically; do not list it.
- If no external calls exist, leave "network": .
- Flag any dynamic URLs the user needs to verify manually.

Migrate App to Flows Infrastructure
Orchestrates the full migration of a legacy Dune app to the new Flows app hosting (appsApi). Works through each area in order, skipping any already in the correct state.
Step 1 — Audit current state
Read app.json, package.json, vite.config.ts, and manifest.json (if present).
Report a concise summary before making any changes:
Migration audit:
✗ app.json: missing infra field → will add "infra": "appsApi"
✗ Auth: DuneAuthProvider in use → will run setup-flows-auth
✗ manifest.json: missing → will create
✓ Deploy script: already uses @cognite/cliThen proceed through Steps 2–5.
---
Step 2 — Update app.json
If infra is already "appsApi", skip this step. Otherwise:
Fix legacy deployment key format first. Many POC apps use "deployment" (singular, plain object). The CLI requires "deployments" (plural, array). If the file has the old format, rename the key and wrap the value in an array before proceeding:
// Before (legacy)
{
"deployment": { "org": "...", "project": "...", ... }
}
// After (correct)
{
"deployments": [{ "org": "...", "project": "...", ... }]
}Then add "infra": "appsApi":
{
"name": "My App",
"externalId": "my-app",
"versionTag": "0.0.1",
"infra": "appsApi",
"deployments": [...]
}---
Step 3 — Set up Flows auth
Run the setup-flows-auth skill now. It handles everything auth-related: package installation, Vite plugin updates, entry file changes, and wiring up connectToHostApp.
---
Step 4 — Create or update manifest.json
The Flows host uses manifest.json to enforce a Content Security Policy for the app. It must exist at the repo root.
Create if missing:
{
"manifestVersion": 1,
"permissions": {
"network": []
}
}Populate network permissions by scanning for outbound calls to external domains:
grep -rn "fetch\|axios\|new XMLHttpRequest" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx"For each group of external URLs found, add an entry to the network array using the sources/directives shape:
{
"manifestVersion": 1,
"permissions": {
"network": [
{
"sources": ["https://api.example.com", "https://maps.googleapis.com"],
"directives": ["connect-src"]
}
]
}
}Rules:
- Use full origin (scheme + hostname) in
sources, not just the hostname. "connect-src"coversfetch/XMLHttpRequest. Use"img-src"for image URLs,"font-src"for fonts.- The CDF cluster URL is allowed automatically; do not list it.
- If no external calls exist, leave
"network": []. - Flag any dynamic URLs the user needs to verify manually.
---
Step 5 — Update deploy scripts
Replace any dune deploy or npx @cognite/dune commands in package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"deploy": "npx @cognite/cli@latest apps deploy --interactive",
"deploy-preview": "npx @cognite/cli@latest apps deploy --interactive"
}
}Keep all other scripts (start, build, test, etc.) unchanged.
---
Step 6 — Final check
grep -rn "DuneAuthProvider\|useDune\|@cognite/dune" src/ vite.config.ts 2>/dev/nullList any remaining hits for the user to resolve. Then report:
Migration complete:
✓ app.json: infra set to "appsApi", deployments key is an array
✓ Auth: setup-flows-auth applied
✓ manifest.json: network permissions set
✓ Deploy scripts: updated to @cognite/cliThen tell the user exactly what to do next:
Next steps:
1. Run `npm run dev` to start the dev server
2. Open Fusion and verify the app loads and CDF data appears correctly
3. When happy, deploy with: npx @cognite/cli@latest apps deploy --interactiveRelated skills
How it compares
Use migrate-app-to-flows for full Dune-to-Flows orchestration; use setup-flows-auth alone when only authentication wiring is missing.
