102102The Claude API skill can perform Claude model migrations across a code base. Invoke it directly with `/claude-api migrate`:
103103 
104104```text wrap
105/claude-api migrate this project to claude-opus-5
105/claude-api migrate this project to claude-opus-5-5
106106```
107107 
108108You can also pass a specific scope up front to skip the scope-confirmation question:
109109 
110110```text wrap
111/claude-api migrate everything under src/ to claude-opus-5
112/claude-api migrate apps/api.py and apps/worker.py to claude-opus-5
111/claude-api migrate everything under src/ to claude-opus-5-5
112/claude-api migrate apps/api.py and apps/worker.py to claude-opus-5-5
113113```
114114 
115115When the scope is ambiguous (for example, a bare `/claude-api migrate to claude-opus-5`), the skill asks you to choose between the entire working directory, a specific subdirectory, or an explicit file list before editing any files. This applies to both Messages API and Managed Agents callers.

124124* **Effort calibration**, recommending an `output_config.effort` starting point for the target model (for example, the default `high` on Claude Opus 5, and `xhigh` for coding and agentic use cases on Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Opus 4.7)
125125* **Prompt-behavior tuning**, flagging length-control, tool-triggering, subagent, and instruction-following prompts that may behave differently on the target model
126126* **Silent default handling**, opting back into thinking summarization (`thinking.display: "summarized"`) when reasoning is surfaced to users on Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Opus 4.7
127* **Refusal fallback configuration**, adding `stop_reason: "refusal"` handling before reading response content and setting up a [fallback retry path](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback) when the target is Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Fable 5, or Claude Opus 5 (the server-side `fallbacks` parameter, typically in its `"default"` mode, the SDK refusal-fallback middleware, or a fallback-credit retry), and updating fallback code written against earlier preview shapes
127* **Refusal fallback configuration**, adding `stop_reason: "refusal"` handling before reading response content and setting up a [fallback retry path](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/refusals-and-fallback) when the target is Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 5.5, or Claude Opus 5 (the server-side `fallbacks` parameter, typically in its `"default"` mode, the SDK refusal-fallback middleware, or a fallback-credit retry), and updating fallback code written against earlier preview shapes

129129As it edits, the skill explains each change and its motivation inline. On completion, it produces a checklist of items that require manual verification (typically integration tests, length-control prompt tuning, and cost/rate-limit re-baselining).
