fix(init): keep user files in legacy command folders - #1874
dwin-gharibi wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Legacy cleanup removed each pre-skills tool's <tool>/commands/openspec/ folder recursively whenever it existed, deleting any command the user kept there along with OpenSpec's three files. init runs that cleanup unprompted when there is no TTY, so agents and CI lost those files without --force. Directory entries now name the files OpenSpec wrote there. Cleanup deletes only those, removes the folder only once nothing else is left in it, and reports each entry it kept. A folder holding none of OpenSpec's files is no longer treated as legacy, and a folder holding only them is removed exactly as before.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughLegacy cleanup now removes only OpenSpec-managed command files. It preserves user files and nested directories, removes empty legacy folders, reports retained entries, and validates behavior across supported tools and initialization modes. ChangesLegacy cleanup preservation

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Legacy command cleanup now deletes only the files OpenSpec created, keeps user-authored files and nested folders, removes the folder only when empty, and reports what it kept. One narrow gap remains: a file the user places at an OpenSpec command filename shortly before cleanup runs is still treated as OpenSpec-owned and removed. This matches earlier behavior and is a bounded follow-up rather than a merge blocker. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Do not infer file ownership from the filename alone.
If a user replaces proposal.md with a regular user-authored file while the upgrade prompt waits, this condition still classifies the replacement as managed. Cleanup then deletes that user content.
Carry file identity or other ownership evidence from detection. Before fs.unlink, revalidate that evidence. If it changed, preserve and report the entry. Add a regression test that replaces proposal.md between detection and cleanup.

Why
Six entries in
LEGACY_SLASH_COMMAND_PATHS(src/core/legacy-cleanup.ts:36-41)were
directoryentries: Claude Code, CodeBuddy, Qoder, Lingma, Crush andGemini CLI, each at
<tool>/commands/openspec/. Detection flagged the folderwhenever it existed (
:321-323). Cleanup then ranfs.rm(fullPath, { recursive: true, force: true })(:555), deleting everythingin it. Users keep their own commands in that folder, and they went with
OpenSpec's three old ones:
to preserve".
✓ Removed .claude/commands/openspec/.So nothing ever told the user their files had been in it.
openspec initruns this cleanup automatically when--forceis set or whenthere is no TTY (
src/core/init.ts:500-501). So an agent or CI running plainopenspec init --tools claudedeleted the files without a prompt.openspec update --forceuses the same function.The file already names the hazard for CoStrict (
:69-71), which #1492 madefile-scoped. The directory entries never got the same treatment.
What Changes
managedFileNames. The names come from the slash configurators removed infeat(cli): merge init and experimental commands #565:
proposal.md,apply.mdandarchive.md, or.tomlfor Gemini.Lingma is the exception. Its support arrived after the opsx rename and has
always written to
.lingma/commands/opsx/, so OpenSpec never wrote a fileinto
.lingma/commands/openspec/, and its list is empty.exactly as before.
one by one. The upgrade prompt then lists exactly what will be deleted.
non-recursive
rmdir, and only if the folder is empty. Anything left isrecorded in a new optional
CleanupResult.keptFilesand printed as• Kept .claude/commands/openspec/team-review.md (not created by OpenSpec).This also protects a file added between detection and cleanup, for example
while the interactive prompt waits.
getToolsFromLegacyArtifactsandomitToolLegacyArtifactstreat them like anyother legacy file. The second is what the legacy-upgrade path uses to skip a
tool whose replacement was not written.
docs/migration-guide.mdnow says what actually happens.The common upgrade is unchanged: a folder holding only OpenSpec's files is
removed as before, with the same prompt line and the same summary line.
Testing
New file
test/core/legacy-cleanup.user-files.test.ts, with 24 tests writtenfirst. On clean
9d4e597it gave 15 failed and 9 passed: every failure was abug assertion, and every control passed. With the fix, all 24 pass.
Edge cases covered:
OpenSpec files is still removed (control). A user file in it is kept, the
OpenSpec files are deleted, the folder stays, and the files map back to the
tool.
legacy file (
apply.md/).proposal.mdis kept whileproposal.tomlis removed.what was kept and never claims the folder was removed.
omitToolLegacyArtifactsskips the tool, a mixed folder is untouched.openspec init --tools claudekeepsteam-review.md, bothwithout a TTY and with
--force. It still removes a folder of only OpenSpecfiles.
Two existing tests encoded the old behaviour and were updated:
test/core/update.test.ts› "should cleanup legacy slash commanddirectories with --force". Its fixture was
old-command.md, a file OpenSpecnever wrote, and it asserted that such a file is deleted along with the folder.
That is the behaviour this PR removes. The fixture is now
proposal.md, andthe assertions are unchanged.
test/core/legacy-cleanup.test.ts› "should include expected toolpatterns". It compares the claude entry with
toEqual, so it now includesmanagedFileNames.Verification
