Migration

From Legacy Skills

Legacy Skills (deprecated):

moai-foundation-trust → Integrated into core.md
moai-foundation-specs → Integrated into specs.md
moai-foundation-ears → Integrated into ears.md
moai-foundation-git → Integrated into git-workflow.md
moai-foundation-langs → Integrated into langs.md

Migration Steps:

Update skill references: Skill("moai-foundation-core")
Remove duplicate legacy references
Validate functionality
Review MIGRATION_GUIDE.md

Migration Timeline:

Phase 4 (Current): Agent updates complete
Phase 5 (Next): Deprecation warnings
Phase 6 (v2.0.0): Legacy removal

Performance

Token Efficiency

Metric	Legacy	moai-foundation-core	Improvement
Skill Count	5	1	80% reduction
Initial Load	~25K	~8K	68% reduction
Discovery	5×	1×	80% faster
Context	Large	Optimized	60% reduction

Loading Performance

Before (Legacy Skills):

5 skills × 5K tokens × 5× discovery = 25K+ tokens

After (moai-foundation-core):

1 skill × 8K tokens × 1× discovery + lazy modules = 8-13K tokens

Result: 52-68% token savings, 80% faster activation
