System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill guides teams through fully migrating Backstage plugins from the legacy frontend system to the new frontend system, removing backward compatibility entirely and consolidating modernization efforts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end migration: replace old plugin definitions and routing with the new frontend-plugin-api equivalents, removing all reliance on the old core-plugin-api.
  • API refactor and ownership: adopt ApiBlueprints with explicit plugin ownership to enforce API boundaries across the app.
  • Routing and UI modernization: convert internal routing to PageBlueprint/SubPageBlueprint patterns and migrate pages to the framework-driven UI.

Quick Start

Begin the migration by replacing old API and routing usage to the frontend-plugin-api based definitions.
