Channels Migration Skill
Migrate code that talks to or implements the Agent Host Protocol from the pre-channels model to the current channel-based model. Use when asked to upgrade an AHP client/server, when seeing references to agenthost:/root, <provider:/<uuid session URIs, a notification wrapper method, an envelope field inside action params Published by microsoft in agent-host-protocol.

Skill instructions
AHP Channels Migration This skill helps you migrate a codebase that consumes (or implements) the Agent Host Protocol from the pre-channels model to the channel-based model introduced by RFC 117. The migration was folded into the protocol as a single breaking step alongside the 0.2.0 version bump (which also introduced changesets and the session/customizationUpdated action). The combined wire format on 0.2.0 is what this skill targets; there is no transitional version. The migration is mechanical in most places but touches several shapes at once, so do it in passes rather than file-by-file. The order below minimises the chance of leaving the codebase in a half-broken state. How to use this skill 1. Start with the Mental model section so you understand what "channel" means and why fields moved. 2. Work through the Migration passes in order. Each pass is independent enough that you can land it as its own commit. 3. Use the Grep cheat sheet at the bottom to find every site that needs updat
