cometchat-migrate-from-getstream

Migrate an app from Stream (GetStream) Chat to CometChat end-to-end in ONE prompt, on any platform in this pack (React, Angular, React Native/Expo, iOS, Android, Flutter). Inventories every Stream usage (stream-chat client, the React/Angular/RN/Flutter/Swift/Android SDKs, Stream Video, Activity Feeds, push, server tokens, webhooks), swaps each supported feature for its CometChat equivalent, REMOVES features CometChat has no equivalent for (code, UI, deps), writes a data-migration script for users/channels/history, uninstalls Stream, verifies the build, and ends with a report listing what was migrated, what was removed and what you still need to do. Triggers: 'migrate my app from Stream to CometChat', 'migrate from GetStream', 'migrate my app to CometChat' (Stream detected), 'replace Stream Chat with CometChat', 'switch from getstream', 'move off Stream', 'stream-chat to cometchat', 'port my GetStream chat to CometChat', 'migrate only my data from Stream', 'import my Stream data into CometChat'.

> **Ground truth:** the STREAM side (what to look for) is baked in `references/inventory.md` + `references/feature-map.md` — confirm each hit by reading the user's code. The COMETCHAT side is never from memory: symbols come from the target family's skills + catalog, feature existence from that family's `features.json`, signatures from the docs via the family's `-core/references/docs-map.md` (Docs MCP first — `RULES.md` → Fetch discipline). REST pages live under `DOCS_BASE` = `https://www.cometchat.com/docs`.

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-<family>-core` — the init → login → render the migrated app lands on. `<family>` is resolved in step 1; this skill ASSUMES that core and never restates its code.
- `cometchat-<family>-components` / `-features` / `-calls` / `-push` / `-customization` — pulled in only for the Stream features the inventory finds.

## Use this skill when
The user asks to move an app off Stream: "migrate my app from GetStream/Stream to CometChat", "replace Stream Chat", "switch to CometChat", or "migrate my app to CometChat" when `npx @cometchat/skills detect --json` reports `migrate_from` with vendor `getstream`. Sendbird apps → `cometchat-migrate-from-sendbird`. An app with BOTH vendors: run both skills, one after the other, into one report.
**Data only** ("migrate only my data", "import my Stream users and messages", "don't change my code", or the app already runs on CometChat) → follow `references/data-only.md` INSTEAD of the workflow below: it writes and runs the data script and changes nothing else.

## The single-prompt contract (read before step 1)
The migration request IS the approval (`RULES.md` → Competitor migration). Run every step below to the end in this one turn:
- **Do not stop to ask.** No onboarding plan/approve gate, no clarification questions. Where a companion skill would ask, take the default written here, and record it under *Defaults taken* in the report.
- **Safety net instead of questions:** in a git repo, first `git switch -c cometchat-migration` (carries any uncommitted work along; mention that in the report). Never commit, push, or rewrite history. No git → proceed and say so in the report.
