First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/riverpod-migration/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

Riverpod — Migration guides

Instructions

This skill points to detailed migration guides for different scenarios. Use the reference file that matches your case.

When to use which guide

ScenarioReference
From StateNotifier to Notifier / AsyncNotifiermigration_from_state_notifier.md
From ChangeNotifier to AsyncNotifiermigration_from_change_notifier.md
Upgrade 0.13.x → 0.14.x (StateNotifierProvider syntax, watch(provider) vs provider.state)migration_0_13_0_14.md
Upgrade 0.14.x → 1.0 (ScopedReader → WidgetRef, useProvider → ref.watch, StateProvider)migration_0_14_1_0.md

For Riverpod 2.0 → 3.0 see the riverpod-3-0-migration skill.

Common themes

  • StateNotifier → Notifier/AsyncNotifier: Put init logic in build; use ref.onDispose instead of overloading dispose; no mounted—use cancellation (e.g. Completer or HTTP cancel token). Consumers stay the same (ref.watch, methods on notifier).
  • ChangeNotifier → AsyncNotifier: Replace isLoading/hasError/manual try-catch with AsyncValue; single state; mutations by reassigning state.
  • CLI: For 0.14 and 1.0 upgrades you can run dart pub global activate riverpod_cli then riverpod migrate in the project (do not upgrade Riverpod manually first; the tool will suggest version and changes).

Open the relevant reference file for step-by-step instructions and code examples.
