Kit Upgrade Skill#

The Kit Upgrade Skill is an AI agent skill that helps you migrate your Omniverse Kit project from one SDK version to another. Instead of manually working through the full breaking-change catalog, you point an agent at the skill and it scans your project, identifies what actually applies to your specific code, and helps you resolve it.

What you can do#

  • Generate a personalized upgrade report — the agent scans your project and surfaces only the breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and removed extensions that affect your code, with exact file:line references.

  • Ask questions about breaking changes — get plain-language answers about what changed and why, without reading through the full changelog.

  • Troubleshoot upgrade issues — if your build or runtime is broken after a version bump, describe the error and the agent can diagnose the failure mode and walk you through a fix.

  • Perform some or all of the upgrade — for straightforward changes the agent can apply fixes directly; more complex rewrites are flagged for your review.

Availability#

Although the skill was first released in Kit 110.1.2, you don’t need to be running that version to use it — you can point an agent at the skill from any environment and use it to work on a project on an older Kit version. It covers the full 106 → 107 → 108 → 109 → 110 migration path, including multi-version upgrades.

Where to find it#

The skill is available in the kit-app-template repository under .skills/:

  • .skills/SKILL.md — the main instructions loaded by the agent

  • .skills/README.md — full setup guide

  • .skills/references/ — structured reference data (breaking changes, removed extensions, API replacements, config changes)

Getting started#

Load the skill into any AI coding assistant that can read files.

Claude Code:

Read the skill at /path/to/kit-app-template/.skills/SKILL.md and the files in
.skills/references/. Then scan /path/to/my-kit-project and generate an upgrade report
for Kit 109 → 110.

Cursor / VS Code Copilot / other agents: Add .skills/ as a context directory or attach SKILL.md as a system prompt, then ask the agent to scan your project.
