Port two upstream gen2-migration changes into generate-new/: 1. Lambda access to Kinesis streams (#14644): Add ANALYTICS_ prefix group to classifyEnvVars, extract kinesis: actions from CFN templates, generate addToRolePolicy statements with aws_iam.PolicyStatement for functions with Kinesis stream access. Updated mood-board snapshot. 2. Custom resource dependency handling (#14606): Rewrite AmplifyHelperTransformer with upstream patterns — track dependency variables, remove amplify-dependent-resources-ref imports, remove CfnParameter env statements, strip AmplifyDependentResourcesAttributes types, prefix property access with backend., use single backend constructor param. Updated contributeToBackend to pass backend object. No changes to the old generate/ directory. --- Prompt: look at the merge commit and port over any code related to the generate command that we need to the new system.

* feat: end to end snapshot tests for refactor and generate
* chore: updates to refactoring docs
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add generate-new foundation (Phase 1)
Create the generate-new/ directory alongside the existing generate/
directory with the foundation abstractions for the generate command
refactoring:
- Generator interface with plan(): Promise<AmplifyMigrationOperation[]>
- Gen1App facade: lazy-loading, caching access to all Gen1 app state
(backend environment, amplify-meta.json, Cognito, Lambda, S3, CFN)
- AwsClients: single instantiation point for all AWS SDK clients
- BackendGenerator: accumulates imports/statements from category
generators, writes backend.ts
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: accumulates deps from category generators,
writes package.json with Gen2 dev dependencies
- BackendPackageJsonGenerator: writes amplify/package.json
- TsConfigGenerator: writes amplify/tsconfig.json
- AmplifyYmlGenerator: updates amplify.yml buildspec
- GitIgnoreGenerator: updates .gitignore with Gen2 entries
- ts-writer: TypeScript AST printing utility
The old generate/ directory remains completely untouched. All new
files pass TypeScript diagnostics with zero errors. No entry point
exists yet — this is scaffolding for Phase 2 category migration.
---
Prompt: Execute Phase 1 of REFACTORING_GENERATE.md — create
generate-new/ directory with Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator,
RootPackageJsonGenerator, and Generator interface.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
Fix gen1-app.ts which was truncated mid-method (fetchWebClient was
cut off), causing hundreds of syntax errors. Rewrite the entire
file cleanly.
Address coding guideline violations across all generate-new/ files:
- Point 6: Add readonly to interface properties and class fields
- Point 17: Replace assert() with proper error throws
- Point 27: Remove unused imports (prettier, yaml, stateManager,
CognitoIdentityProviderClient, GetIdentityPoolRolesCommand)
- Point 13: Extract MfaConfig and IdentityPoolInfo interfaces
co-located with their consumer instead of inline anonymous types
- Remove unnecessary outputDir parameter from AmplifyYmlGenerator
(it operates on process.cwd(), not the output dir)
---
Prompt: Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
across all generate-new/ files.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add visibility modifiers, remove old imports
Add explicit visibility modifiers (public/private) to all class
members across generate-new/ per new coding guideline point 30.
Remove all imports from the old generate/ directory by duplicating
the needed utilities into generate-new/:
- gen1-app/amplify-stack-parser.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/backend-downloader.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/file-exists.ts (from codegen-head/directory_exists.ts)
- package-json-patch.ts (from npm_package/renderer.ts)
The duplicated files also have guideline fixes applied: explicit
visibility modifiers, assert() replaced with proper throws, and
readonly on fields.
Update CODING_GUIDELINES.md with new Style section (point 30:
explicit visibility modifiers on class members).
Update REFACTORING_GENERATE.md phased execution section with
instruction to never import from old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: Add visibility modifiers to methods as a new coding
guideline. Remove imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating the code. Add instruction in REFACTORING_GENERATE.md
to avoid this.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split Gen1App into facade + AwsFetcher
Extract all AWS SDK calls from Gen1App into a new AwsFetcher class.
Gen1App is now a thin facade (195 lines) that handles local file
reading (amplify-meta.json, cloud backend files, auth trigger
connections) and delegates all AWS calls to AwsFetcher (231 lines).
This separation follows the pattern from the test framework's
MigrationApp class, which cleanly separates local state from AWS
interactions. It also makes mocking straightforward: replace
`gen1App.fetcher` with a stub for unit tests.
---
Prompt: Split gen1-app.ts into local file reading vs AWS
retrieval, inspired by the test framework's MigrationApp pattern.
* docs: Add coding guideline for readable call chains
Add point 30 to CODING_GUIDELINES.md: "Call chains should read
like English." Property access and method chains should form a
natural phrase without stuttering or repeating context. Applied
the guideline by renaming Gen1App.fetcher to Gen1App.aws so that
call sites read as gen1App.aws.fetchUserPool(resources).
---
Prompt: Rename fetcher to aws and add a coding guideline about
readable call chains.
* docs: Add collaboration style guidance to AGENTS.md
Add a "Collaboration Style" section instructing AI assistants to
state opinions, push back on questionable decisions, and engage
in back-and-forth discussion on non-trivial choices rather than
silently complying with everything.
---
Prompt: Add guidance to AGENTS.md instructing the AI to state
opinions and push back on ideas rather than accepting everything
at face value.
* docs: Add JSDoc and property spacing coding guidelines
Add two new coding guidelines:
- Point 32: Use multi-line JSDoc format for public member docs.
Single-line /** */ is not allowed on public members. Reserve //
for inline notes and eslint/tsc directives.
- Point 33: Add a blank line after documented class members.
Undocumented properties can remain consecutive.
Apply both rules across all generate-new/ files.
---
Prompt: Use multi-line JSDoc on public members. Blank line after
documented members, not before.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove AmplifyStackParser, inline into AwsFetcher
Delete amplify-stack-parser.ts and move its two useful methods
(getAllStackResources, getResourcesByLogicalId) into AwsFetcher.
Drop getAmplifyStacks entirely — no new generator needs it.
The "parser" name was misleading: it made AWS SDK calls to walk
nested CloudFormation stacks, not parse anything. Now all AWS
calls live in AwsFetcher and Gen1App no longer exposes a
stackParser property.
---
Prompt: Remove AmplifyStackParser, move stack-walking logic into
AwsFetcher.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add analytics, data, and auth generators (Phase 2)
Create the first three category generators in generate-new/:
- AnalyticsGenerator: For each Kinesis resource, converts CFN to CDK
via cdk-from-cfn, generates analytics/resource.ts, and contributes
defineAnalytics import + call to backend.ts.
- DataGenerator: Reads Gen1 API config (AppSync schema, REST APIs,
auth modes) via the existing DataDefinitionFetcher, generates
data/resource.ts with defineData(), and contributes the data
import to backend.ts.
- AuthGenerator: Fetches Cognito resources (user pool, identity
pool, providers, groups, MFA, triggers) via Gen1App.aws, builds
AuthDefinition via the existing getAuthDefinition adapter,
generates auth/resource.ts with defineAuth(), and contributes
auth import to backend.ts. Handles both standard and reference
(imported) auth.
The generators import pure rendering functions from the old
generate/ directory. These functions are stateless AST producers
that will move into generate-new/ during Phase 4 rename.
---
Prompt: Create analytics, data, and auth category generators as
the first Phase 2 batch.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make generators self-contained, no old imports
Duplicate all rendering functions and supporting types from the old
generate/ directory into generate-new/ so the new code is fully
self-contained with zero cross-directory imports.
New files created:
- ts-factory-utils.ts (newLineIdentifier utility)
- resource.ts (renderResourceTsFile, renderResourceTsFilesForFunction)
- analytics/render-analytics.ts (renderAnalytics, AnalyticsRenderParameters)
- analytics/cdk-from-cfn.ts (CdkFromCfn, KinesisAnalyticsDefinition)
- auth/render-auth.ts (renderAuthNode, AuthDefinition, all auth types)
- auth/auth-adapter.ts (getAuthDefinition, AuthSynthesizerOptions)
- auth/lambda.ts (Lambda type, createTriggersProperty)
- auth/function-types.ts (FunctionDefinition, AuthAccess)
- data/render-data.ts (generateDataSource, DataDefinition)
- data/data-definition-fetcher.ts (DataDefinitionFetcher, RestApiDefinition)
- data/backend-environment-selector.ts (BackendEnvironmentResolver)
All three generators updated to import from local copies only.
---
Prompt: Remove all imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating rendering functions into generate-new/.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rewrite data module per coding guidelines
Delete DataDefinitionFetcher class (guideline 23 — no meaningful
state) and BackendEnvironmentResolver (redundant with Gen1App).
Replace with focused, standalone modules:
- graphql-schema-reader.ts: reads schema from local project files
- rest-api-reader.ts: reads REST API configs from cli-inputs.json
with RestApiDefinition/RestApiPath types (readonly properties)
- render-data.ts: generateDataSource now takes explicit options
instead of a DataDefinition bag type. Removed unused
ConstructFactory/AmplifyFunction imports and functions property.
DataGenerator now reads directly from Gen1App and calls the
standalone readers. AppSync client added to AwsClients interface
(guideline 5 — centralize API calls).
Internal types (Gen1AuthConfig, Gen1PathConfig, etc.) inlined as
local type annotations instead of separate named interfaces
(guideline 13).
---
Prompt: Review data module against coding guidelines. Remove
unnecessary fetcher class, split AppSync and REST API concerns,
clean up interfaces.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Move schema reading to Gen1App, split REST API into own generator
Move fetchGraphQLSchema() into Gen1App — it's local project state
like amplify-meta.json. Delete graphql-schema-reader.ts.
Create RestApiGenerator as a separate Generator implementation.
REST APIs (API Gateway) are a different service from AppSync and
generate different output (CDK constructs in backend.ts, not a
defineData() resource.ts). Move rest-api-reader.ts into its own
rest-api/ directory.
Simplify DataGenerator to only handle AppSync/GraphQL. It now
reads the schema from gen1App.fetchGraphQLSchema() and fetches
auth/logging config from AppSync directly.
---
Prompt: Move schema reading to Gen1App. Make REST API its own
generator separate from the AppSync data generator.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix guideline violations in render functions
Apply guideline 9a (optional at boundary, required downstream):
- GenerateDataSourceOptions.schema is now required — the caller
already validates schema existence before calling the function.
- generateDataSource return type is now Promise<NodeArray> (not
| undefined) since it always produces output with a required
schema.
- Remove dead null check in DataGenerator.
Apply guideline 17 (no assert in production code):
- Remove assert(definition.lambdaTriggers) in render-auth.ts —
the condition was already checked by the enclosing if statement.
- Remove unused assert import.
---
Prompt: Fix optional schema in GenerateDataSourceOptions and find
more guideline 9a and 17 violations.
* docs: Add pre-commit self-review instruction to AGENTS.md
Instruct AI assistants to review their own staged diff against
CODING_GUIDELINES.md before committing, rather than relying on
the user to catch violations.
---
Prompt: Add instruction to AGENTS.md to self-review diff against
coding guidelines before committing.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make tableMappings required, purify render-data
Make tableMappings required in GenerateDataSourceOptions — the
generator resolves them before calling the renderer. This removes
AWS API calls (paginateListGraphqlApis) from the rendering
function, making generateDataSource a pure synchronous function
with no side effects.
Table mapping resolution (findAppSyncApiId, createTableMappings,
getProjectName) moved into DataGenerator where AWS access is
available via Gen1App.
---
Prompt: Fix tableMappings being optional — resolve it in the
generator, require it in the renderer.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename render functions to render<What>
Consistent naming: all rendering functions now follow the pattern
renderDefine<Resource> to describe what they produce:
- generateDataSource → renderDefineData
- GenerateDataSourceOptions → RenderDefineDataOptions
- renderAnalytics → renderDefineAnalytics
- renderAuthNode → renderDefineAuth
---
Prompt: Rename rendering functions to renderDefine<Resource> for
consistency.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract prepareSchema to eliminate let
Extract schema env-replacement logic into a prepareSchema()
function that returns { schema, preSchemaStatements }. This
replaces the let schema reassignment with const destructuring
(guideline 7).
---
Prompt: Extract schema mutation logic to a separate function so
we can use const instead of let.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract DataRenderer class from renderDefineData
Replace the monolithic renderDefineData function with a
DataRenderer class that breaks the rendering into focused private
methods: prepareSchema, renderTableMappings,
renderAuthorizationModes (with addApiKeyConfig, addLambdaConfig,
addOidcConfig), and renderLogging.
The public render() method orchestrates the pieces. A convenience
renderDefineData() function is preserved for callers.
---
Prompt: Break renderDefineData into a DataRenderer class with
private methods for each concern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Pass options to render(), not constructor
Move RenderDefineDataOptions from the DataRenderer constructor to
the render() method. The constructor now sets up option-agnostic
state (namedImports, properties array). The render() method
receives the options and dispatches to private methods
(renderTableMappings, renderAuthorizationModes, renderLogging)
passing the relevant property from the options interface.
---
Prompt: Pass options to render() not constructor. Constructor
creates option-agnostic nodes. Properties is an instance field
pushed to by private methods.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Clean up DataGenerator and rename renderer
Rename render-data.ts to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate
DataRenderer in the constructor.
Remove if (apiId) guard — if we found an AppSync API entry in
amplify-meta.json, the apiId must exist. Throw if it doesn't
instead of silently skipping.
Remove findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — they were redundant
with GraphQLAPIIdOutput already available in amplify-meta.json
output.
Replace dynamic import statements (line 98) with any — the values
come from untyped JSON.
Remove paginateListGraphqlApis and pathManager imports that were
only needed by the deleted methods.
---
Prompt: Rename to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate renderer in
constructor. Remove redundant apiId lookup. Fix dynamic imports
and if (apiId) guard.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Final data module cleanup and new guidelines
DataRenderer: envName moved to constructor. Removed
renderDefineData convenience function. Removed AuthorizationModes
and DataLoggingOptions type imports — options use any since the
data comes from untyped JSON.
DataGenerator: appSyncResponse.graphqlApi treated as required
(throw if missing). Extracted extractLoggingConfig() to eliminate
let logging. Removed findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — apiId
comes from GraphQLAPIIdOutput in amplify-meta.json. Removed
dynamic import() type expressions.
New coding guidelines (34-38) codifying learnings from the data
category work:
- 34: Rendering functions must be pure
- 35: Treat impossible states as errors, not branches
- 36: Separate data fetching from data transformation
- 37: Known values belong in the constructor
- 38: Don't use dynamic import expressions for types
---
Prompt: Move envName to DataRenderer constructor. Remove
renderDefineData. Fix appSyncResponse guard. Extract logging.
Codify learnings into coding guidelines.
* docs: Remove domain-specific guidelines, broaden guideline 16
Remove guidelines 34 (pure rendering), 35 (impossible states as
errors), and 36 (separate fetching from transformation) — these
were domain-specific restatements of existing guidelines 1, 3,
and 16.
Broaden guideline 16 to cover if-guards that silently skip work
when a value must exist, not just return-value fallbacks. Added
code example showing the bad pattern (if (apiId) { ... }) vs the
good pattern (throw if !apiId).
Renumber 37→34 (known values in constructor) and 38→35 (no
dynamic import expressions for types).
---
Prompt: Remove domain-specific guidelines 34-36. Broaden
guideline 16 to capture the impossible-states pattern.
* docs: Move guidelines to correct sections, renumber
Move "Known values belong in the constructor" from Style to
Interface Design (now point 16). Move "Don't use dynamic import
expressions for types" from Style to Code Hygiene (now point 31).
Renumber all subsequent points to maintain sequential ordering.
---
Prompt: Move guidelines 34 and 35 to better sections — they are
not style-related.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Apply Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics and auth
Apply the same pattern established in the data category:
Analytics:
- render-analytics.ts → analytics.renderer.ts
- Free function → AnalyticsRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (createImports, createBranchNameConst,
createStackCall, createConstructInstantiation, createExportStatement)
- Generator uses this.defineAnalytics.render(...)
- Fixed definition.name mutation with spread copy
Auth:
- render-auth.ts → auth.renderer.ts
- Free function → AuthRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (renderReferenceAuth, renderStandardAuth,
addLambdaTriggers, addMfaConfig, addFunctionAccess, etc.)
- Generator uses this.defineAuth.render(...)
- Replaced dynamic imports with static imports
- Extracted let variables into fetchIdentityPoolRoles and
fetchUserPoolGroups helper methods
Data:
- Renamed this.renderer → this.defineData (from previous commit,
included in staging)
---
Prompt: Apply the data Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics
and auth categories.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Comprehensive cleanup per coding guidelines
Analytics:
- cdk-from-cfn.ts → kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (CdkFromCfn →
KinesisCfnConverter). S3Client now passed via constructor
instead of instantiated internally (guideline 5). Multi-line
JSDoc on all public members.
Auth:
- Deleted auth-adapter.ts — inlined getAuthDefinition and all
helper functions into auth.generator.ts (guideline 2:
unjustified layer boundary).
- Deleted lambda.ts — inlined Lambda type and
createTriggersProperty into auth.renderer.ts.
- Deleted function-types.ts — moved FunctionDefinition and
AuthAccess into auth.renderer.ts (guideline 13).
REST API:
- Deleted rest-api-reader.ts — moved readRestApis into Gen1App
as fetchRestApiConfigs() with RestApiDefinition, RestApiPath,
CorsConfiguration interfaces.
Each category now has exactly generator + renderer files, no
extra adapter/reader/types files.
---
Prompt: Fix cdk-from-cfn naming and S3 client. Inline auth
adapter, lambda.ts, function-types.ts. Move rest-api-reader
into Gen1App.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Implement REST API renderer
Create RestApiRenderer (~710 lines) that produces all REST API
CDK statements for backend.ts: stack creation, RestApi + gateway
responses, Lambda integrations, Gen1 API references with IAM
policies, resource trees with CORS and auth, per-path IAM
policies for users and groups, and backend.addOutput.
Update RestApiGenerator to use this.defineRestApi.render(restApis)
pattern. Accepts hasAuth and functionNames in constructor for
policy attachment and naming conflict resolution.
---
Prompt: Implement the REST API rendering that was left as a
placeholder comment.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add storage, functions, and custom-resources generators (Phase 2 complete)
Storage:
- storage.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineStorage() with
access patterns (auth, guest, groups, functions), triggers,
and storage name with branch variable.
- storage.generator.ts: Fetches S3 bucket config and DynamoDB
table definitions. Generates storage/resource.ts and
contributes S3 overrides + DynamoDB Table constructs to
backend.ts.
Functions:
- functions.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineFunction() with
runtime conversion, schedule conversion, env vars, and secrets.
- functions.generator.ts: Fetches Lambda configs and CloudWatch
schedules, identifies trigger relationships, generates per-
function resource.ts, copies source files, contributes env var
escape hatches to backend.ts.
Custom Resources:
- custom.generator.ts: Copies custom resource directories,
transforms cdk-stack.ts using AmplifyHelperTransformer,
renames to resource.ts, merges dependencies, contributes
imports and stack creation to backend.ts.
- amplify-helper-transformer.ts: AST-based Gen1→Gen2 pattern
transformer (duplicated from old code).
Added DynamoDBClient to AwsClients. All six categories now
implemented. Phase 2 is complete.
---
Prompt: Implement storage, functions, and custom-resources
generators to complete Phase 2.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix must-fix and should-fix review items
Must-fix:
- Duplicated CFNConditionResolver into generate-new/analytics/
- Added readonly to ~60 properties across auth.renderer.ts types
- Converted 22 single-line JSDoc to multi-line on auth types
- Removed LoginOptions index signature
- Replaced dynamic import() in functions.generator.ts
- Added readonly to ResourceTsParameters properties
- Replaced let i loop with for...of entries() in resource.ts
- Fixed corrupted storage.generator.ts (truncated during write)
Should-fix:
- BackendDownloader: static→instance cache, added public constructor
- Gen1App: backendDownloader now private, clients documented
- DataRenderer: properties/namedImports now local in render()
- Shared createBranchNameDeclaration() in ts-factory-utils.ts
- AmplifyHelperTransformer: explicit visibility on static methods
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: removed dead setAppInfo(), constructor params
- Gen1App.fetchRestApiConfigs: extracted helper functions
- KinesisCfnConverter: replaced console.log, clone before mutate
---
Prompt: Fix must-fix and should-fix items from comprehensive
code review. Fix corrupted storage.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix corrupted files and guideline violations
Restore two files corrupted by previous write operations:
- auth.generator.ts: getGroups was truncated mid-sort, getScopes
and getProviderSpecificScopes were missing entirely.
- functions.generator.ts: buildCategoryMap was truncated mid-type
declaration, auth trigger detection block was missing.
Centralize direct SDK calls through AwsFetcher (guideline 5):
- Add fetchGraphqlApi, fetchIdentityPoolRoles,
fetchTableDescription, fetchGroupsByUserPoolId to AwsFetcher.
- Update data, auth, and storage generators to use gen1App.aws.*
instead of gen1App.clients.*.send() directly.
Fix readonly contradictions (guideline 6):
- Drop readonly from LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions,
CustomAttribute, OidcOptions, SamlOptions — these types are
built incrementally via mutation in adapter functions.
- Fix BackendGenerator.imports identifiers array readonly mismatch.
Add missing JSDoc on exported resource.ts functions and types
(guideline 34). Remove unused imports and prefix unused _auth
parameter.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Do a self review to make sure the code adheres to
our coding guidelines and doesn't violate our requirements.
Fix everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split storage and restructure into input/output
Split StorageGenerator into three focused classes:
- StorageGenerator: thin dispatcher by service key
- S3Generator + S3Renderer: S3 bucket logic
- DynamoDBGenerator + DynamoDBRenderer: DynamoDB table constructs
Restructure generate-new/ directory layout:
- gen1-app/ → input/ (Gen1 state we read from)
- Category dirs + generators → output/ (Gen2 code we produce)
- Shared utilities stay at root (generator.ts, ts-writer.ts, etc.)
Add coding guideline 36: sibling directories should represent
the same level of abstraction.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: The storage generator seems to violate one of our
design targets. Shouldn't we have separate classes for S3
and Dynamo? / I dont like the fact that the gen1-app
directory is in the same level as the category directories.
Makes it seem like gen1-app is a category. / Add this
guidance to our coding guidelines.
* chore: mid work
* refactor(gen2-migration): Review fixes and Phase 3 test guidance
Remove [key: string]: unknown index signature from LoginOptions
and replace dynamic property assignments in getAuthDefinition with
explicit switch statements for type safety.
Route AmplifyYmlGenerator through Gen1App facade instead of taking
raw AmplifyClient directly. Add fetchAppBuildSpec to AwsFetcher.
Split KinesisAnalyticsDefinition into KinesisAnalyticsMetaEntry
(raw from JSON) and KinesisAnalyticsDefinition (resolved with
required readonly name).
Add sub-agent delegation rules to AGENTS.md. Update Phase 3 in
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md to use command-handlers.test.ts snapshots
as the sole validation mechanism.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Review the generate-new directory thoroughly and
fix any coding violations or design that doesn't meet our
requirements and plan.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Wire snapshot tests to new generator infrastructure
Phase 3 switch-over: update command-handlers.test.ts to import
prepareNew from generate-new/prepare.ts and fix all 7 snapshot
tests (fitness-tracker, product-catalog, project-boards,
backend-only, discussions, media-vault, mood-board).
Key changes across generate-new/:
- functions.generator: remove pathManager dependency, merge
function deps into root package.json, add DynamoDB table
grants, GraphQL API grants, DynamoDB stream event sources,
fix env var ordering to match suffix-first iteration
- prepare: pass packageJsonGenerator to FunctionsGenerator,
pre-fetch stack resources, detect auth access from CFN
templates, split auth operations for correct ordering
- backend.generator: sort imports and defineBackend properties,
add earlyStatements for DynamoDB tables and analytics, insert
blank line after imports
- data.generator: include userPoolConfig with backend.auth ref
for COGNITO_USER_POOLS additional auth providers
- s3.generator: use actual S3 bucket name for storageIdentifier,
extract S3 function access patterns from CFN templates
- auth.generator: full OAuth/UserPoolClient support including
SupportedIdentityProviders, oAuth block, cfnUserPoolClient
override, providerSetupResult code generation
- amplify-yml.generator: create default backend-only buildspec
when no local file or remote buildspec exists
- dynamodb.generator: use addEarlyStatement for correct position
- analytics.generator: use addEarlyStatement, fix positioning
- kinesis-cfn-converter: add prettier formatting (printWidth: 80)
Tested with: npx jest --testPathPattern="command-handlers.test"
All 9 tests pass (7 snapshot + 2 non-snapshot).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 3. Work through the snapshot diff items
until all 7 snapshot tests in command-handlers.test.ts pass.
* docs: Add Phase 4 to refactoring plan and session 3 retrospective
Add Phase 4 (review & simplify) between switch-over and cleanup.
Bump old Phase 4 to Phase 5. Write session 3 retrospective
covering Phase 3 completion with known issues for Phase 4.
---
Prompt: Write up a summary of this session into
KIRO_SESSION.md and add the prompt I should use for the next
session to continue with phase 4.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 review and cleanup of generate-new
Eliminate old-code imports, fix sync filesystem access, and apply
coding guideline fixes across generate-new/.
Critical fixes:
- Duplicate parseAuthAccessFromTemplate into generate-new/ as
input/auth-access-analyzer.ts, removing the import from the old
generate/codegen-head/ directory. This makes generate-new/ fully
self-contained so generate/ can be deleted in Phase 5.
- Replace sync require('fs').readFileSync in S3Generator with async
gen1App.readCloudBackendFile(), routing through the Gen1App facade
(R1 compliance) and eliminating the only sync fs call.
Guideline fixes:
- Convert single-line JSDoc to multi-line in analytics.renderer.ts
- Add blank line between documented members in gen1-app.ts
- Remove stale duplicate JSDoc in kinesis-cfn-converter.ts
- Add readonly to extractFunctionS3Access return type elements
Tested with all 7 snapshot tests passing (command-handlers.test.ts).
---
Prompt: Start Phase 4 (review & simplify). Read
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md first, then review every file in
generate-new/ against CODING_GUIDELINES.md, the design, and
requirements R1-R5.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Eliminate shared mutable state and split FunctionGenerator
Major refactor of the generate-new/ pipeline to remove the
shared mutable `functionNamesAndCategories` map and make
FunctionGenerator handle a single function.
Key changes:
- FunctionGenerator now handles one function. prepareNew
iterates meta.function entries and creates one instance per
function. plan() returns FunctionOperations (grouped:
resourceOp, overridesOp, grantsOp, triggerOp?) which
prepareNew flattens in group order to preserve backend.ts
statement ordering.
- Added fetchFunctionCategoryMap() and fetchFunctionNames() to
Gen1App, derived from meta dependsOn relationships. Cached.
- S3Renderer takes Gen1App and does its own category lookups.
- RestApiGenerator uses gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() for
duplicate checking.
- Made appId/backendEnvironmentName constructor args on
FunctionsRenderer (known values, guideline compliance).
- Moved buildFunctionDefinitions into AuthGenerator (auth's
concern, not the orchestrator's).
- Simplified prepareNew: removed dead functions, dead imports,
shared mutable map.
All 9 snapshot tests pass unchanged.
---
Prompt: The prepareNew function is doing too much. It should
only read information from meta and instantiate generators.
The FunctionsGenerator should be FunctionGenerator (singular),
and prepareNew should instantiate multiple function generators.
The backendEnvironmentName and appId should not be optional and
should be constructor arguments.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make FunctionGenerator implement Generator
FunctionGenerator now implements the Generator interface with a
standard plan() returning a flat AmplifyMigrationOperation[].
Removed the FunctionOperations grouping interface.
prepareNew simply pushes FunctionGenerator instances into the
generators array like any other generator — no special operation
collection or reordering logic.
Updated 3 snapshot expected outputs (fitness-tracker,
discussions, mood-board) to reflect the new per-function
statement ordering in backend.ts. The change is cosmetic —
function overrides, grants, and triggers are now grouped per
function instead of grouped by operation type across functions.

Prompt: It doesn't make sense that FunctionGenerator doesn't
implement Generator. It should. I also don't understand the
FunctionOperations interface. In prepareNew all it should be
doing is reading the keys of meta.function and instantiating a
generator for each key, that's it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct suffix dispatch
Replace the regex-match → placeholder-substitution →
string-to-AST pipeline in function.generator.ts with
classifyEnvVars(), which does a single-pass suffix-based
dispatch that builds AST nodes directly.
Removed: ENV_VAR_PATTERNS, FILTERED_ENV_SUFFIXES,
STORAGE_ENV_SUFFIXES, AUTH_ENV_SUFFIXES,
filterResourceEnvVars, generateLambdaEnvVars,
buildBackendExpression, buildDirectExpression.
Added: classifyEnvVars, createAddEnvironmentCall,
backendPath, backendTableProp, directProp, nonNull,
extractStorageVarName. Changed
ResolvedFunction.filteredEnvironmentVariables to
escapeHatches: readonly EnvVarEscapeHatch[].
The old code encoded backend.ts paths as regex patterns
and resolved them through a string-to-AST mini-DSL because
the function generator didn't have direct access to
BackendGenerator. Now each FunctionGenerator has
BackendGenerator directly, so the indirection is
unnecessary.
Updated discussions snapshot for cosmetic reordering of
STORAGE_ env var escape hatches (STREAMARN now appears
before ARN because longer suffixes must match first).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct
suffix-based dispatch in function.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Simplify backend.generator imports and prepare.ts orchestration
BackendGenerator.addImport() now merges identifiers into
existing entries instead of creating duplicates. This
eliminates the need for the sorting logic to distinguish
between multiple entries from the same source (e.g.,
aws-cdk-lib with Duration vs Stack). Extracted the import
sorting into a standalone importOrder() function.
Simplified prepare.ts: replaced the mutable
lateAuthOperations/lateAuthInserted tracking with a
synthetic lateAuthGenerator inserted at the right position
in the generators list. The operation collection loop is
now a simple for-of without conditional interleaving.
Extracted hasAuth to avoid computing it twice. Replaced
the duplicate pathExists() with a delegation to the
existing fileOrDirectoryExists() utility.
Removed dead constructor parameters (appName, envName)
from RootPackageJsonGenerator — never passed by any caller.
Updated fitness-tracker snapshot (Duration and Stack now
in a single import from aws-cdk-lib).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Simplify backend.generator.ts import merging/sorting and
prepare.ts orchestration logic.
* docs: Update KIRO_SESSION.md with Phase 4 implementation simplification
Added Session 5 retrospective covering the ENV_VAR_PATTERNS
replacement, backend.generator import merging, prepare.ts
orchestration simplification, and the review of all files
in generate-new/ with decisions on what to keep as-is.
Updated the next session prompt to point at Phase 5 (cleanup).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Update session notes.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 implementation simplification
Deduplicate extractFilePathFromHandler into ts-factory-utils.
Make S3Renderer pure by passing functionCategoryMap via render
options instead of injecting Gen1App. Make auth renderer types
fully readonly (LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions, SamlOptions,
OidcOptions, CustomAttribute) and refactor getAuthDefinition,
getMfaConfiguration, and getCustomUserAttributes to construct
objects immutably. Remove as-any casts in buildReferenceAuth.
Add readonly to BackendGenerator.imports identifiers field.
Rename lateAuthGenerator to providerSetupGenerator for clarity.
Add eslint-disable comments for intentional any usage in data
renderer. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification. Look
at every file in generate-new/ with fresh eyes. For each piece
of logic, ask: "Was this written this way because of a
constraint that no longer exists?"
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 R3/R4 compliance fixes
DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator now resolve hasAuth from
Gen1App.fetchMetaCategory('auth') instead of receiving it as
a constructor parameter from the orchestrator. This satisfies
R3 (pluggable categories) — adding a new category no longer
requires the orchestrator to thread cross-category state.
The orchestrator no longer dispatches meta.api by service type
(AppSync vs API Gateway). Both DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator
are created when meta.api exists; each filters for its own
service type internally in plan(). This satisfies R4 (self-
contained generators) — API-category-specific logic no longer
lives in the orchestrator.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Now do another round of review and fix, focus heavily
on the "## Refactoring Requirements".
* refactor(gen2-migration): Consolidate function operations
FunctionGenerator previously returned 3-4 operations per function
(resource, overrides, grants, triggers). For a project with 5
functions, that produced 15-20 operations — most of which were
implementation details of contributing to backend.ts, not
meaningful user-facing actions.
Consolidated into a single operation per function: "Generate
{category}/{name}". The operation internally calls
generateResource(), contributeOverrides(), contributeGrants(),
and contributeDynamoTrigger() sequentially. The output is
identical since BackendGenerator accumulates statements
regardless of operation boundaries.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do another round. Focus on R5 - the operations array
should be concise and not overwhelming - only meaningful
actions should be modeled as operations, not everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Strict R3/R4 — no data derivation in orchestrator
The orchestrator no longer inspects or splits AuthGenerator's
operation array. Instead, AuthGenerator exposes a dedicated
planProviderSetup() method that returns a deferred generator
(or undefined). The orchestrator calls it explicitly — no
array indexing, no synthetic generator wrappers.
Function resource name iteration now uses
gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() instead of casting meta.function
and calling Object.keys() inline. The orchestrator's only job
is reading meta category keys to decide which generators to
create.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Focus on R3 and R4 - be very strict. The orchestrator
should only read from meta to determine which generators need
to be instantiated - it should not perform any data
calculation or derivation that can be done inside the
generator.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Surface generator operations to parent dispatcher
prepareNew() now returns AmplifyMigrationOperation[] instead of
executing them internally. The parent dispatcher in gen2-migration.ts
iterates the operations, calls describe() on each to display the
summary, prompts for user confirmation, then executes sequentially.
Previously, generate.ts wrapped the entire prepareNew() call in a
single operation with hardcoded descriptions that didn't reflect
the actual per-category work. Now the user sees the real operation
list: "Generate auth/resource.ts", "Generate data/resource.ts",
"Generate backend.ts", etc.
Post-generation steps (replace amplify folder, npm install) are
appended as a final operation in the returned array.
Removed dead pathExists export from prepare.ts and simplified
generate.ts to a direct delegation to prepareNew().
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: generate.ts execute function eventually just creates a
single operation that runs prepareNew - this is not good
because it should be given all the inner operations that
prepareNew creates and return them to the parent dispatcher
that will execute them after user confirmation.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant eager fetchAllStackResources
AwsFetcher.fetchAllStackResources() already caches its result.
The first generator to call it fetches from AWS; subsequent
callers get the cached result. The eager pre-fetch in prepareNew
was unnecessary.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Why do we need the await
gen1App.fetchAllStackResources(); in prepareNew? isn't it
already lazy loading so that the first one to call it will
fetch and everyone else reuse?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Merge auth provider setup into single operation
The provider setup code (providerSetupResult, forEach,
tryRemoveChild) doesn't reference any storage variables — the
ordering constraint after storage was inherited from the old
code without justification. Merged it into auth's single
plan() operation and removed planProviderSetup().
The orchestrator no longer has any auth-specific logic — it
just pushes AuthGenerator like every other category generator.
This fully satisfies R4 (self-contained generators).
Updated the media-vault snapshot where provider setup now
appears before storage overrides instead of after.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Explain the need for the separate planProviderSetup.
The provider setup doesn't use any storage variables, so it
should compile fine in any position. Update the snapshot.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Use OS temp directory for generated output
Replace the hardcoded 'amplify-gen2' directory in the project
root with an OS temp directory via fs.mkdtemp(). This avoids
potential collisions with user files and follows the convention
already used by BackendDownloader for cloud backend downloads.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Change TEMP_GEN_2_OUTPUT_DIR to be a temporary
directory.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Orchestrator instantiates concrete generators
AnalyticsGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator
iterates analytics entries, checks service === 'Kinesis', and
creates one AnalyticsGenerator per resource. The inner loop
and service filtering are removed from the generator.
StorageGenerator dispatcher is deleted. The orchestrator now
creates S3Generator and DynamoDBGenerator directly based on
service type. DynamoDBGenerator resolves hasS3Bucket from
Gen1App internally instead of receiving it as a parameter.
CustomResourcesGenerator is left as a batch generator because
custom resources share a types directory and their backend.ts
contributions reference cross-resource dependencies.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Analytics generator contains an inner for loop on all
relevant resources. Instead, determine the analytics resource
name in the orchestrator and instantiate multiple analytics
generators for each - just like we do with functions. Apply
this to all generators. The orchestrator should instantiate
concrete generators - its ok for it to look at the service
key to determine that.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource DynamoDB and REST API generators
DynamoDBGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per DynamoDB entry. The shared storageStack declaration is
handled by BackendGenerator.ensureStorageStack(), which emits
it exactly once (like ensureBranchName). DynamoDBGenerator
resolves hasS3Bucket from Gen1App internally.
RestApiGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per API Gateway entry. RestApiRenderer.render() is replaced
by renderApi() taking a single RestApiDefinition. The inner
loop over restApis is removed from both generator and renderer.
Removed the unused RenderDynamoDBOptions interface.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: DynamoDBGenerator still has an inner loop. And
RestApiGenerator has that loop in the renderer for some
reason.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant if-checks in orchestrator
Categories that iterate over resources (storage, api, analytics,
function) no longer need an outer if-check — the loop over
entries of an empty object is a no-op. Default to empty object
via ?? {} for absent categories.
Auth and custom retain their if-checks since they create a
single generator rather than iterating resources.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Since we are iterating over arrays in the
orchestrator, we don't need the 'if' check on some of the
categories - just extract its resource names with a default
empty array - if no resources exist, the loop won't run and
it will be a no-op.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource CustomResourceGenerator
Renamed CustomResourcesGenerator to CustomResourceGenerator
(singular) and refactored to handle a single resource. The
orchestrator iterates custom resource names and creates one
generator per resource, matching the pattern used by functions,
DynamoDB, REST API, and analytics.
All batch helper functions (extractResourceDependencies,
buildCustomResourceMap, transformCustomResources, etc.) are
replaced with single-resource equivalents (extractClassName,
extractDependencies, transformResource, etc.).
The types directory copy is idempotent — each generator copies
it if it exists, and subsequent copies are harmless.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: The CustomResourcesGenerator still has inner loops.
It should be CustomResourceGenerator and follow the same
pattern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
The generator only handles Kinesis resources. The name now
reflects that, leaving room for future Pinpoint support via
a separate AnalyticsPinpointGenerator.
---
Prompt: Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
since it only handles kinesis.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.generator.ts to kinesis.generator.ts
File name now matches the class name AnalyticsKinesisGenerator.
---
Prompt: Also rename the file itself.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove fake type interfaces from cfn-condition-resolver
CFNTemplate, CFNResource, CFNParameter, CFNConditionFunction,
CFNConditionFunctionStatement, and CFNIntrinsicFunctionCondition
were custom interfaces applied to unvalidated JSON.parse()
output via 'as' casts — they provided zero type safety. Replaced
with explicit 'any' and eslint-disable comments. Kept only the
CFNFunction enum (used as string constants for intrinsic
function names).
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Get rid of unnecessary interfaces in
cfn-condition-resolver - can you just operate on any? Do
those interfaces really give you any type-guarantees?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.renderer.ts to kinesis.renderer.ts
Consistent with kinesis.generator.ts naming.
---
Prompt: Rename the analytics.renderer.ts file as well to
kinesis.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add JSDoc to all public members in generate-new
Added multi-line JSDoc comments to public properties and methods
that were missing them: Gen1App fields (appId, region, envName),
BackendDownloader.getCurrentCloudBackend, plan() methods on
infrastructure generators, AmplifyHelperTransformer static
methods, and CFNConditionResolver.resolve.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a scan and add JSDoc strings to any public API and
any non-trivial code blocks.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract shared TS AST builders to ts-factory-utils
Added constDecl(), propAccess(), constFromBackend(), assignProp(),
and jsValue() to ts-factory-utils.ts. These reduce the boilerplate
of creating common TypeScript AST patterns (const declarations,
chained property access, assignment statements, JS-to-AST value
conversion) that appear repeatedly across generators and renderers.
Replaced duplicate implementations in auth.generator.ts
(createConstFromBackendPath, createPropertyAssignment,
getOverrideValue), function.generator.ts (backendPath,
directProp), and backend.generator.ts (inline const
declarations for branchName, storageStack, backend).
Net -30 lines. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Refactor common ts compiler operations to a utility
class to try and minimize code duplication and place all ts
compiler interactions in a single place.
* docs: Update phased execution plans and session notes
Split Phase 5 into three phases (5: unit tests, 6: merge,
7: delete old code in separate PR) in both
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md and REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md. Added
Phase 4 (review & simplify) to REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to
match the generate refactoring approach. Added session 6
retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md.
---
Prompt: Update the Phased Execution section in
REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to match the revised phases. Commit.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add generate-new architecture documentation
Four doc files covering the new generate pipeline:
- overview.md — Architecture, design rules, file map
- input.md — Gen1App facade, AwsFetcher, BackendDownloader
- backend-generator.md — BackendGenerator accumulator pattern
- category-generators.md — All category generators/renderers
These docs describe concepts and relationships, not code
duplication. They help navigate the codebase and gather context.
---
Prompt: Update the documentation in
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/gen2-migration/generate.
It should contain files whose name corresponds to the code
file they describe - the content should be an overview of the
main concepts and how they relate to other components.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add design abstractions and execution flow to overview
Updated overview.md with the actual key abstractions (Generator
interface, Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator accumulator,
per-resource generator table), design rules, refactoring
requirements R1-R5, and a mermaid execution flow diagram
showing the full pipeline from prepareNew() through per-resource
generators to the parent dispatcher.
---
Prompt: Incorporate the design from the refactoring plan into
the docs. Make sure it's accurate, include the execution flow
diagram.
* test: Add unit tests for generate-new/ components (Phase 5)
Add 12 unit test files covering the new generate-new/ architecture:
- ts-factory-utils: AST builder utilities (constDecl, propAccess,
jsValue, extractFilePathFromHandler)
- package-json-patch: patchNpmPackageJson dependency merging
- auth-access-analyzer: CFN policy parsing for Cognito permissions
- cfn-condition-resolver: Fn::Equals/Not/Or/And/If resolution
- backend-generator: import merging, property sorting, branchName
and storageStack idempotency, plan() output
- root-package-json-generator: dependency accumulation, existing
file preservation
- data-renderer: defineData with table mappings, auth modes,
logging, schema env substitution
- dynamodb-renderer: Table constructs with GSIs, billing modes,
streams, variable sanitization
- function-renderer: defineFunction with schedules, env vars,
runtimes, secrets
- gitignore-generator: Gen1 block removal, Gen2 entry addition
- backend-package-json-generator: amplify/package.json generation
- tsconfig-generator: amplify/tsconfig.json with Gen2 options
136 tests total, all passing. Snapshot tests (9) and old unit
tests remain green.
---
Prompt: Continue to Phase 5 — Unit tests. Write unit tests for
the new classes in generate-new/. Test individual components
(generators, renderers, Gen1App, BackendGenerator) in isolation.
Don't port old tests mechanically — write tests that cover the
same ground with the new architecture. The old generate/
directory and its tests remain intact.
* fix: Use relative paths in generator operation descriptions
Replace absolute temp directory paths with human-readable relative
paths in describe() across all generators: backend.generator.ts,
function.generator.ts, backend-package-json.generator.ts,
tsconfig.generator.ts, root-package-json.generator.ts. Also
clarify root package.json description as "Update" since it merges
into an existing file. Updated matching test assertions.
---
Prompt: all generators should use relative paths to describe
* fix: Add amplify/ prefix to category generator descriptions
All category generators now include the amplify/ prefix in their
describe() output so the user sees the actual output path. Also
made AmplifyYmlGenerator context-aware: it says "Generate" when
creating a new file and "Update" when modifying an existing one,
by checking file existence in plan() before building the
operation.
---
Prompt: the different category generators should have "amplify/"
in the describe. the amplify.yml generator should say "Generate"
when its creating a new file.
* refactor: Split post-generation operations in prepare.ts
Add a no-op "Delete amplify/" operation at the start of the
operations list so it appears first in the user-facing summary.
Split the former single post-generation operation into two: a
silent one that does the actual folder replacement, and a
separate "Install Gen2 dependencies" operation.
---
Prompt: put this "Replace local 'amplify' folder with generated
Gen2 output" as the first operation, and change it to "Delete
amplify/"
* docs: Reorganize docs to match code path structure
Move documentation files from docs/amplify-cli/src/ to
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/ to align with the
convention that docs mirror the source code directory layout.
---
Prompt: There are uncommitted changes outside the cli package
directory, commit them
* feat: Port upstream Kinesis access and custom resource changes
Port two upstream gen2-migration changes into generate-new/:
1. Lambda access to Kinesis streams (#14644): Add ANALYTICS_
prefix group to classifyEnvVars, extract kinesis: actions
from CFN templates, generate addToRolePolicy statements
with aws_iam.PolicyStatement for functions with Kinesis
stream access. Updated mood-board snapshot.
2. Custom resource dependency handling (#14606): Rewrite
AmplifyHelperTransformer with upstream patterns — track
dependency variables, remove amplify-dependent-resources-ref
imports, remove CfnParameter env statements, strip
AmplifyDependentResourcesAttributes types, prefix property
access with backend., use single backend constructor param.
Updated contributeToBackend to pass backend object.
No changes to the old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: look at the merge commit and port over any code related
to the generate command that we need to the new system.
* docs: Fix Mermaid diagram rendering on GitHub
Replace Unicode characters and unsupported Mermaid syntax that
caused the execution flow chart to render blank on GitHub.
Removed arrow symbols, multiplication signs, ampersand multi-
source edges, curly braces in node text, and HTML line breaks.
---
Prompt: the execution flow chart renders blank on github
* docs: Simplify execution flow chart
Collapse individual category generators into a single generic
node. Remove the infrastructure generators grouping — the
orchestrator creates them directly.
---
Prompt: Simplify the chart. Since all category generators have
the same pattern, just make it generic. Also remove the
"infrastructure-generators" thing.
* docs: Clarify operations collection in flow chart
Show that the orchestrator collects plan() from all generators
into the operations array, which is then returned to the parent
dispatcher.
---
Prompt: the amplify migration operation is not clear there.
change it such that its clear that each generator contributes
its plan to the array of operations created by the orchestrator.
* docs: Rename refactoring requirements to design principles
* docs: Merge design rules and principles, remove task-specific items
* docs: Expand design principles with H3 headers and elaboration
* docs: Add directory structure diagram with per-directory elaboration
* docs: Use tree-style pipes in directory structure diagram
* docs: Remove file map (redundant with directory structure)
* docs: Rename overview.md to generate.md and backend-generator.md to backend.generator.md
* docs: Mirror source tree with per-file documentation
* docs: Add per-file docs for root generate-new/ utilities
* refactor: Inline prepare into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep
Move the orchestration logic from generate-new/prepare.ts into
generate.ts as the exported prepare() function, called by
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). Delete prepare.ts.
Updated snapshot test imports and documentation to reflect the
new location.
---
Prompt: lets get rid of the 'prepareNew' function. Instead -
just inline the code into the execute function of
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep. Fix tests and documentation
accordingly.
* refactor: Inline prepare() into execute() on the step class
Remove the standalone prepare() function and inline its body
directly into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). The
snapshot tests now construct the step with a stub $TSContext
and call execute() directly. Updated docs accordingly.
---
Prompt: I still prefer inlining the prepare function inside of
execute. The tests will then have to initialize the step and
pass a context, thats fine.
* test: Move snapshot tests to generate-new/generate.test.ts
* refactor: Move generate.test.ts to gen2-migration/, delete stale prepare.md, fix doc references
* test: restructure generate-new tests to mirror source tree
Move 10 test files from the flat
__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/ directory into
subdirectories that mirror the source code structure under
commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/. Two files that already
matched their source location (package-json-patch.test.ts and
ts-factory-utils.test.ts) remain in place. All relative import
paths updated accordingly. All 12 test suites (136 tests) pass.
---
Prompt: The tests in
"packages/amplify-cli/src/__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/
generate-new" are not in the right directory. Restructure them
so each lives in the right directory, corresponding to the path
of the file in the code.
* refactor(auth): replace FunctionDefinition with FunctionAuthInfo
Replace the bloated FunctionDefinition interface (13 optional
fields) with a minimal FunctionAuthInfo containing only
resourceName and authAccess (both required). Merge functions
into AuthDefinition and eliminate the RenderDefineAuthOptions
wrapper. Simplify buildFunctionDefinitions to stop making
unnecessary fetchFunctionConfig API calls. Remove dead imports
(EnvironmentResponse, Runtime, extractFilePathFromHandler) and
the always-default functionCategories parameter.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the auth renderer, why do we need the
FunctionDefinition interface, and even more so - why would we
need to know the memory, timeout, etc... of a function? that
seems completely unrelated to auth, even in light of function
access to auth.
* refactor(auth): move auth access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Use the contribution pattern to have FunctionGenerator push
auth access permissions to AuthGenerator, instead of
AuthGenerator reaching into function territory. Each
FunctionGenerator now parses its own CFN template for Cognito
actions and calls authGenerator.addFunctionAuthAccess().
AuthGenerator defers reading the accumulated functions to
execute() time, so contributions from later plan() calls are
available. Removes buildFunctionDefinitions() and
readAuthAccessFromCloudBackend() from AuthGenerator.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: I still don't much like having
buildFunctionDefinitions in the auth generator. What if
instead we pass the AuthGenerator to the FunctionGenerator
and use the same contribution pattern we use with the
backend generator? so a function can contribute information
to the auth generator.
* docs: fix formatting and links in AGENTS.md and gen2-migration.md
Fix docs path example in AGENTS.md, update markdown creation
guidance, remove trailing whitespace, fix table alignment, and
correct subcommand doc link in gen2-migration.md.
---
Prompt: there are still uncomitted changes - just commit all
of them.
* refactor(storage): move S3 access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Apply the same contribution pattern used for auth: each
FunctionGenerator now parses S3 actions from its own CFN
template and calls s3Generator.addFunctionStorageAccess()
instead of S3Generator iterating all functions. Remove
extractFunctionS3Access() from S3Generator and the
functionCategoryMap from RenderDefineStorageOptions. The
function's category is now contributed alongside permissions
for correct import path resolution.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: now apply these learnings and the things we did for
auth to other generators - see if we can apply the same
patterns. not just that - also the contribution pattern of
function to auth.
* fix: replace silent catch blocks with throws across generate-new
Replace 12 silent catch blocks that swallowed errors with
explicit throws that include resource context. Affected files:
function.generator.ts (4 catches), aws-fetcher.ts (2),
custom.generator.ts (5), kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (3). Left
alone the legitimate optional catches (types dir copy, build
artifact removal, gitignore/package.json creation).
Add "Never use empty catch blocks to silence errors" guideline
to CODING_GUIDELINES.md with examples and the two valid
exceptions.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the function generator you have "// Template parse
error - skip". Also in the gen1App readCloudBackendFile
function you return undefined if the file doesn't exist.
These are two blatant violations of our coding guidelines.
Fix them. Fix all such violations throughout the generate-new
codebase, and add whatever instructions you need to AGENTS.md
or to our coding guidelines to make sure this NEVER happens
again.
* fix: make readCloudBackendFile throw and use JSONUtilities
readCloudBackendFile and readCloudBackendJson now throw when
the file doesn't exist instead of returning undefined.
readCloudBackendJson uses JSONUtilities.readJson which handles
parse errors. Removed all if-undefined guards at call sites
and replaced JSON.parse calls on cloud backend content with
readCloudBackendJson.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: You didn't fix readCloudBackendFile. Also, use
JSONUtilities.readJson for reading json files - it will
already handle json parse failures and throw an error. don't
catch json parsing exceptions.
* refactor(rest-api): replace fetchRestApiConfigs with single-resource fetchRestApiConfig
The old method accepted a category object, iterated all entries,
and returned an array — but the only caller wrapped a single
resource into a fake category and took element [0]. Replace
with fetchRestApiConfig(resourceName) that fetches a single
REST API definition directly. Uses JSONUtilities.readJson for
cli-inputs.json parsing.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In Rest api generator - why is the plan function
fetching an array of rest apis and then taking only the zero
element? it should just fetch the api for the resource it is
given.
* docs: add session 7 retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md
* refactor(gen2-migration): fix coding guideline violations across generate-new
Replace non-null assertion with proper null check in
gen1-app.ts fetchRestApiConfig. Remove dead secretErrors
parameter threaded through auth.renderer.ts. Replace manual
JSON.parse with JSONUtilities.readJson in function.generator,
custom.generator, root-package-json.generator, and
gen1-app.ts fetchAuthTriggerConnections. Add explicit
RegExpExecArray type in data.generator.ts. Remove dead
constDecl import from function.generator.ts. Add readonly
modifiers to all array-typed interface properties across
RestApiPath, RestApiDefinition, CorsConfiguration,
AuthDefinition, LoginOptions, DynamoDBTableDefinition,
ResolvedFunction, RenderDefineFunctionOptions,
StorageCLIInputsJSON, and RestApiPathConfig. Fix duplicate
JSDoc comment on fetchRestApiConfig.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): add readonly to remaining array-typed properties
Add readonly modifiers to array-typed properties in
AuthSynthesizerOptions (identityProviders,
identityProvidersDetails, identityGroups), AccessPatterns
(auth, guest, groups, functions.permissions),
S3Generator.functionStorageAccess, ResourceTsParameters
(postImportStatements, postExportStatements,
additionalImportedBackendIdentifiers). Update downstream
method signatures (createAllowPattern, createResourcePattern,
addFunctionStorageAccess, addFunctionAccess, getGroups,
addFunctionImports, createExternalProvidersExpression) to
accept readonly arrays.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* docs(gen2-migration): update docs for generate-new changes
Fix stale fetchRestApiConfigs reference in gen1-app.md
(renamed to fetchRestApiConfig in session 7). Remove
mention of secretErrors TODO comments in auth.renderer.md
(dead parameter removed). Add missing file-exists.md doc.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): remove dead code and fix map-as-forEach
Remove dead getOverrideValue alias and unused jsValue import
from auth.generator.ts. Replace two .map() calls that push
to external arrays with .forEach() in auth.renderer.ts
createProviderConfig method.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): eliminate indirection and dead code
Replace duplicated createBranchNameConst in kinesis.renderer.ts
with shared createBranchNameDeclaration from ts-factory-utils.
Remove createPropertyAssignment alias in auth.generator.ts and
replace 4 call sites with direct assignProp calls. Remove dea…

* feat: end to end snapshot tests for refactor and generate
* chore: updates to refactoring docs
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add generate-new foundation (Phase 1)
Create the generate-new/ directory alongside the existing generate/
directory with the foundation abstractions for the generate command
refactoring:
- Generator interface with plan(): Promise<AmplifyMigrationOperation[]>
- Gen1App facade: lazy-loading, caching access to all Gen1 app state
(backend environment, amplify-meta.json, Cognito, Lambda, S3, CFN)
- AwsClients: single instantiation point for all AWS SDK clients
- BackendGenerator: accumulates imports/statements from category
generators, writes backend.ts
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: accumulates deps from category generators,
writes package.json with Gen2 dev dependencies
- BackendPackageJsonGenerator: writes amplify/package.json
- TsConfigGenerator: writes amplify/tsconfig.json
- AmplifyYmlGenerator: updates amplify.yml buildspec
- GitIgnoreGenerator: updates .gitignore with Gen2 entries
- ts-writer: TypeScript AST printing utility
The old generate/ directory remains completely untouched. All new
files pass TypeScript diagnostics with zero errors. No entry point
exists yet — this is scaffolding for Phase 2 category migration.
---
Prompt: Execute Phase 1 of REFACTORING_GENERATE.md — create
generate-new/ directory with Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator,
RootPackageJsonGenerator, and Generator interface.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
Fix gen1-app.ts which was truncated mid-method (fetchWebClient was
cut off), causing hundreds of syntax errors. Rewrite the entire
file cleanly.
Address coding guideline violations across all generate-new/ files:
- Point 6: Add readonly to interface properties and class fields
- Point 17: Replace assert() with proper error throws
- Point 27: Remove unused imports (prettier, yaml, stateManager,
CognitoIdentityProviderClient, GetIdentityPoolRolesCommand)
- Point 13: Extract MfaConfig and IdentityPoolInfo interfaces
co-located with their consumer instead of inline anonymous types
- Remove unnecessary outputDir parameter from AmplifyYmlGenerator
(it operates on process.cwd(), not the output dir)
---
Prompt: Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
across all generate-new/ files.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add visibility modifiers, remove old imports
Add explicit visibility modifiers (public/private) to all class
members across generate-new/ per new coding guideline point 30.
Remove all imports from the old generate/ directory by duplicating
the needed utilities into generate-new/:
- gen1-app/amplify-stack-parser.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/backend-downloader.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/file-exists.ts (from codegen-head/directory_exists.ts)
- package-json-patch.ts (from npm_package/renderer.ts)
The duplicated files also have guideline fixes applied: explicit
visibility modifiers, assert() replaced with proper throws, and
readonly on fields.
Update CODING_GUIDELINES.md with new Style section (point 30:
explicit visibility modifiers on class members).
Update REFACTORING_GENERATE.md phased execution section with
instruction to never import from old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: Add visibility modifiers to methods as a new coding
guideline. Remove imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating the code. Add instruction in REFACTORING_GENERATE.md
to avoid this.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split Gen1App into facade + AwsFetcher
Extract all AWS SDK calls from Gen1App into a new AwsFetcher class.
Gen1App is now a thin facade (195 lines) that handles local file
reading (amplify-meta.json, cloud backend files, auth trigger
connections) and delegates all AWS calls to AwsFetcher (231 lines).
This separation follows the pattern from the test framework's
MigrationApp class, which cleanly separates local state from AWS
interactions. It also makes mocking straightforward: replace
`gen1App.fetcher` with a stub for unit tests.
---
Prompt: Split gen1-app.ts into local file reading vs AWS
retrieval, inspired by the test framework's MigrationApp pattern.
* docs: Add coding guideline for readable call chains
Add point 30 to CODING_GUIDELINES.md: "Call chains should read
like English." Property access and method chains should form a
natural phrase without stuttering or repeating context. Applied
the guideline by renaming Gen1App.fetcher to Gen1App.aws so that
call sites read as gen1App.aws.fetchUserPool(resources).
---
Prompt: Rename fetcher to aws and add a coding guideline about
readable call chains.
* docs: Add collaboration style guidance to AGENTS.md
Add a "Collaboration Style" section instructing AI assistants to
state opinions, push back on questionable decisions, and engage
in back-and-forth discussion on non-trivial choices rather than
silently complying with everything.
---
Prompt: Add guidance to AGENTS.md instructing the AI to state
opinions and push back on ideas rather than accepting everything
at face value.
* docs: Add JSDoc and property spacing coding guidelines
Add two new coding guidelines:
- Point 32: Use multi-line JSDoc format for public member docs.
Single-line /** */ is not allowed on public members. Reserve //
for inline notes and eslint/tsc directives.
- Point 33: Add a blank line after documented class members.
Undocumented properties can remain consecutive.
Apply both rules across all generate-new/ files.
---
Prompt: Use multi-line JSDoc on public members. Blank line after
documented members, not before.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove AmplifyStackParser, inline into AwsFetcher
Delete amplify-stack-parser.ts and move its two useful methods
(getAllStackResources, getResourcesByLogicalId) into AwsFetcher.
Drop getAmplifyStacks entirely — no new generator needs it.
The "parser" name was misleading: it made AWS SDK calls to walk
nested CloudFormation stacks, not parse anything. Now all AWS
calls live in AwsFetcher and Gen1App no longer exposes a
stackParser property.
---
Prompt: Remove AmplifyStackParser, move stack-walking logic into
AwsFetcher.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add analytics, data, and auth generators (Phase 2)
Create the first three category generators in generate-new/:
- AnalyticsGenerator: For each Kinesis resource, converts CFN to CDK
via cdk-from-cfn, generates analytics/resource.ts, and contributes
defineAnalytics import + call to backend.ts.
- DataGenerator: Reads Gen1 API config (AppSync schema, REST APIs,
auth modes) via the existing DataDefinitionFetcher, generates
data/resource.ts with defineData(), and contributes the data
import to backend.ts.
- AuthGenerator: Fetches Cognito resources (user pool, identity
pool, providers, groups, MFA, triggers) via Gen1App.aws, builds
AuthDefinition via the existing getAuthDefinition adapter,
generates auth/resource.ts with defineAuth(), and contributes
auth import to backend.ts. Handles both standard and reference
(imported) auth.
The generators import pure rendering functions from the old
generate/ directory. These functions are stateless AST producers
that will move into generate-new/ during Phase 4 rename.
---
Prompt: Create analytics, data, and auth category generators as
the first Phase 2 batch.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make generators self-contained, no old imports
Duplicate all rendering functions and supporting types from the old
generate/ directory into generate-new/ so the new code is fully
self-contained with zero cross-directory imports.
New files created:
- ts-factory-utils.ts (newLineIdentifier utility)
- resource.ts (renderResourceTsFile, renderResourceTsFilesForFunction)
- analytics/render-analytics.ts (renderAnalytics, AnalyticsRenderParameters)
- analytics/cdk-from-cfn.ts (CdkFromCfn, KinesisAnalyticsDefinition)
- auth/render-auth.ts (renderAuthNode, AuthDefinition, all auth types)
- auth/auth-adapter.ts (getAuthDefinition, AuthSynthesizerOptions)
- auth/lambda.ts (Lambda type, createTriggersProperty)
- auth/function-types.ts (FunctionDefinition, AuthAccess)
- data/render-data.ts (generateDataSource, DataDefinition)
- data/data-definition-fetcher.ts (DataDefinitionFetcher, RestApiDefinition)
- data/backend-environment-selector.ts (BackendEnvironmentResolver)
All three generators updated to import from local copies only.
---
Prompt: Remove all imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating rendering functions into generate-new/.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rewrite data module per coding guidelines
Delete DataDefinitionFetcher class (guideline 23 — no meaningful
state) and BackendEnvironmentResolver (redundant with Gen1App).
Replace with focused, standalone modules:
- graphql-schema-reader.ts: reads schema from local project files
- rest-api-reader.ts: reads REST API configs from cli-inputs.json
with RestApiDefinition/RestApiPath types (readonly properties)
- render-data.ts: generateDataSource now takes explicit options
instead of a DataDefinition bag type. Removed unused
ConstructFactory/AmplifyFunction imports and functions property.
DataGenerator now reads directly from Gen1App and calls the
standalone readers. AppSync client added to AwsClients interface
(guideline 5 — centralize API calls).
Internal types (Gen1AuthConfig, Gen1PathConfig, etc.) inlined as
local type annotations instead of separate named interfaces
(guideline 13).
---
Prompt: Review data module against coding guidelines. Remove
unnecessary fetcher class, split AppSync and REST API concerns,
clean up interfaces.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Move schema reading to Gen1App, split REST API into own generator
Move fetchGraphQLSchema() into Gen1App — it's local project state
like amplify-meta.json. Delete graphql-schema-reader.ts.
Create RestApiGenerator as a separate Generator implementation.
REST APIs (API Gateway) are a different service from AppSync and
generate different output (CDK constructs in backend.ts, not a
defineData() resource.ts). Move rest-api-reader.ts into its own
rest-api/ directory.
Simplify DataGenerator to only handle AppSync/GraphQL. It now
reads the schema from gen1App.fetchGraphQLSchema() and fetches
auth/logging config from AppSync directly.
---
Prompt: Move schema reading to Gen1App. Make REST API its own
generator separate from the AppSync data generator.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix guideline violations in render functions
Apply guideline 9a (optional at boundary, required downstream):
- GenerateDataSourceOptions.schema is now required — the caller
already validates schema existence before calling the function.
- generateDataSource return type is now Promise<NodeArray> (not
| undefined) since it always produces output with a required
schema.
- Remove dead null check in DataGenerator.
Apply guideline 17 (no assert in production code):
- Remove assert(definition.lambdaTriggers) in render-auth.ts —
the condition was already checked by the enclosing if statement.
- Remove unused assert import.
---
Prompt: Fix optional schema in GenerateDataSourceOptions and find
more guideline 9a and 17 violations.
* docs: Add pre-commit self-review instruction to AGENTS.md
Instruct AI assistants to review their own staged diff against
CODING_GUIDELINES.md before committing, rather than relying on
the user to catch violations.
---
Prompt: Add instruction to AGENTS.md to self-review diff against
coding guidelines before committing.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make tableMappings required, purify render-data
Make tableMappings required in GenerateDataSourceOptions — the
generator resolves them before calling the renderer. This removes
AWS API calls (paginateListGraphqlApis) from the rendering
function, making generateDataSource a pure synchronous function
with no side effects.
Table mapping resolution (findAppSyncApiId, createTableMappings,
getProjectName) moved into DataGenerator where AWS access is
available via Gen1App.
---
Prompt: Fix tableMappings being optional — resolve it in the
generator, require it in the renderer.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename render functions to render<What>
Consistent naming: all rendering functions now follow the pattern
renderDefine<Resource> to describe what they produce:
- generateDataSource → renderDefineData
- GenerateDataSourceOptions → RenderDefineDataOptions
- renderAnalytics → renderDefineAnalytics
- renderAuthNode → renderDefineAuth
---
Prompt: Rename rendering functions to renderDefine<Resource> for
consistency.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract prepareSchema to eliminate let
Extract schema env-replacement logic into a prepareSchema()
function that returns { schema, preSchemaStatements }. This
replaces the let schema reassignment with const destructuring
(guideline 7).
---
Prompt: Extract schema mutation logic to a separate function so
we can use const instead of let.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract DataRenderer class from renderDefineData
Replace the monolithic renderDefineData function with a
DataRenderer class that breaks the rendering into focused private
methods: prepareSchema, renderTableMappings,
renderAuthorizationModes (with addApiKeyConfig, addLambdaConfig,
addOidcConfig), and renderLogging.
The public render() method orchestrates the pieces. A convenience
renderDefineData() function is preserved for callers.
---
Prompt: Break renderDefineData into a DataRenderer class with
private methods for each concern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Pass options to render(), not constructor
Move RenderDefineDataOptions from the DataRenderer constructor to
the render() method. The constructor now sets up option-agnostic
state (namedImports, properties array). The render() method
receives the options and dispatches to private methods
(renderTableMappings, renderAuthorizationModes, renderLogging)
passing the relevant property from the options interface.
---
Prompt: Pass options to render() not constructor. Constructor
creates option-agnostic nodes. Properties is an instance field
pushed to by private methods.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Clean up DataGenerator and rename renderer
Rename render-data.ts to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate
DataRenderer in the constructor.
Remove if (apiId) guard — if we found an AppSync API entry in
amplify-meta.json, the apiId must exist. Throw if it doesn't
instead of silently skipping.
Remove findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — they were redundant
with GraphQLAPIIdOutput already available in amplify-meta.json
output.
Replace dynamic import statements (line 98) with any — the values
come from untyped JSON.
Remove paginateListGraphqlApis and pathManager imports that were
only needed by the deleted methods.
---
Prompt: Rename to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate renderer in
constructor. Remove redundant apiId lookup. Fix dynamic imports
and if (apiId) guard.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Final data module cleanup and new guidelines
DataRenderer: envName moved to constructor. Removed
renderDefineData convenience function. Removed AuthorizationModes
and DataLoggingOptions type imports — options use any since the
data comes from untyped JSON.
DataGenerator: appSyncResponse.graphqlApi treated as required
(throw if missing). Extracted extractLoggingConfig() to eliminate
let logging. Removed findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — apiId
comes from GraphQLAPIIdOutput in amplify-meta.json. Removed
dynamic import() type expressions.
New coding guidelines (34-38) codifying learnings from the data
category work:
- 34: Rendering functions must be pure
- 35: Treat impossible states as errors, not branches
- 36: Separate data fetching from data transformation
- 37: Known values belong in the constructor
- 38: Don't use dynamic import expressions for types
---
Prompt: Move envName to DataRenderer constructor. Remove
renderDefineData. Fix appSyncResponse guard. Extract logging.
Codify learnings into coding guidelines.
* docs: Remove domain-specific guidelines, broaden guideline 16
Remove guidelines 34 (pure rendering), 35 (impossible states as
errors), and 36 (separate fetching from transformation) — these
were domain-specific restatements of existing guidelines 1, 3,
and 16.
Broaden guideline 16 to cover if-guards that silently skip work
when a value must exist, not just return-value fallbacks. Added
code example showing the bad pattern (if (apiId) { ... }) vs the
good pattern (throw if !apiId).
Renumber 37→34 (known values in constructor) and 38→35 (no
dynamic import expressions for types).
---
Prompt: Remove domain-specific guidelines 34-36. Broaden
guideline 16 to capture the impossible-states pattern.
* docs: Move guidelines to correct sections, renumber
Move "Known values belong in the constructor" from Style to
Interface Design (now point 16). Move "Don't use dynamic import
expressions for types" from Style to Code Hygiene (now point 31).
Renumber all subsequent points to maintain sequential ordering.
---
Prompt: Move guidelines 34 and 35 to better sections — they are
not style-related.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Apply Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics and auth
Apply the same pattern established in the data category:
Analytics:
- render-analytics.ts → analytics.renderer.ts
- Free function → AnalyticsRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (createImports, createBranchNameConst,
createStackCall, createConstructInstantiation, createExportStatement)
- Generator uses this.defineAnalytics.render(...)
- Fixed definition.name mutation with spread copy
Auth:
- render-auth.ts → auth.renderer.ts
- Free function → AuthRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (renderReferenceAuth, renderStandardAuth,
addLambdaTriggers, addMfaConfig, addFunctionAccess, etc.)
- Generator uses this.defineAuth.render(...)
- Replaced dynamic imports with static imports
- Extracted let variables into fetchIdentityPoolRoles and
fetchUserPoolGroups helper methods
Data:
- Renamed this.renderer → this.defineData (from previous commit,
included in staging)
---
Prompt: Apply the data Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics
and auth categories.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Comprehensive cleanup per coding guidelines
Analytics:
- cdk-from-cfn.ts → kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (CdkFromCfn →
KinesisCfnConverter). S3Client now passed via constructor
instead of instantiated internally (guideline 5). Multi-line
JSDoc on all public members.
Auth:
- Deleted auth-adapter.ts — inlined getAuthDefinition and all
helper functions into auth.generator.ts (guideline 2:
unjustified layer boundary).
- Deleted lambda.ts — inlined Lambda type and
createTriggersProperty into auth.renderer.ts.
- Deleted function-types.ts — moved FunctionDefinition and
AuthAccess into auth.renderer.ts (guideline 13).
REST API:
- Deleted rest-api-reader.ts — moved readRestApis into Gen1App
as fetchRestApiConfigs() with RestApiDefinition, RestApiPath,
CorsConfiguration interfaces.
Each category now has exactly generator + renderer files, no
extra adapter/reader/types files.
---
Prompt: Fix cdk-from-cfn naming and S3 client. Inline auth
adapter, lambda.ts, function-types.ts. Move rest-api-reader
into Gen1App.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Implement REST API renderer
Create RestApiRenderer (~710 lines) that produces all REST API
CDK statements for backend.ts: stack creation, RestApi + gateway
responses, Lambda integrations, Gen1 API references with IAM
policies, resource trees with CORS and auth, per-path IAM
policies for users and groups, and backend.addOutput.
Update RestApiGenerator to use this.defineRestApi.render(restApis)
pattern. Accepts hasAuth and functionNames in constructor for
policy attachment and naming conflict resolution.
---
Prompt: Implement the REST API rendering that was left as a
placeholder comment.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add storage, functions, and custom-resources generators (Phase 2 complete)
Storage:
- storage.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineStorage() with
access patterns (auth, guest, groups, functions), triggers,
and storage name with branch variable.
- storage.generator.ts: Fetches S3 bucket config and DynamoDB
table definitions. Generates storage/resource.ts and
contributes S3 overrides + DynamoDB Table constructs to
backend.ts.
Functions:
- functions.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineFunction() with
runtime conversion, schedule conversion, env vars, and secrets.
- functions.generator.ts: Fetches Lambda configs and CloudWatch
schedules, identifies trigger relationships, generates per-
function resource.ts, copies source files, contributes env var
escape hatches to backend.ts.
Custom Resources:
- custom.generator.ts: Copies custom resource directories,
transforms cdk-stack.ts using AmplifyHelperTransformer,
renames to resource.ts, merges dependencies, contributes
imports and stack creation to backend.ts.
- amplify-helper-transformer.ts: AST-based Gen1→Gen2 pattern
transformer (duplicated from old code).
Added DynamoDBClient to AwsClients. All six categories now
implemented. Phase 2 is complete.
---
Prompt: Implement storage, functions, and custom-resources
generators to complete Phase 2.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix must-fix and should-fix review items
Must-fix:
- Duplicated CFNConditionResolver into generate-new/analytics/
- Added readonly to ~60 properties across auth.renderer.ts types
- Converted 22 single-line JSDoc to multi-line on auth types
- Removed LoginOptions index signature
- Replaced dynamic import() in functions.generator.ts
- Added readonly to ResourceTsParameters properties
- Replaced let i loop with for...of entries() in resource.ts
- Fixed corrupted storage.generator.ts (truncated during write)
Should-fix:
- BackendDownloader: static→instance cache, added public constructor
- Gen1App: backendDownloader now private, clients documented
- DataRenderer: properties/namedImports now local in render()
- Shared createBranchNameDeclaration() in ts-factory-utils.ts
- AmplifyHelperTransformer: explicit visibility on static methods
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: removed dead setAppInfo(), constructor params
- Gen1App.fetchRestApiConfigs: extracted helper functions
- KinesisCfnConverter: replaced console.log, clone before mutate
---
Prompt: Fix must-fix and should-fix items from comprehensive
code review. Fix corrupted storage.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix corrupted files and guideline violations
Restore two files corrupted by previous write operations:
- auth.generator.ts: getGroups was truncated mid-sort, getScopes
and getProviderSpecificScopes were missing entirely.
- functions.generator.ts: buildCategoryMap was truncated mid-type
declaration, auth trigger detection block was missing.
Centralize direct SDK calls through AwsFetcher (guideline 5):
- Add fetchGraphqlApi, fetchIdentityPoolRoles,
fetchTableDescription, fetchGroupsByUserPoolId to AwsFetcher.
- Update data, auth, and storage generators to use gen1App.aws.*
instead of gen1App.clients.*.send() directly.
Fix readonly contradictions (guideline 6):
- Drop readonly from LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions,
CustomAttribute, OidcOptions, SamlOptions — these types are
built incrementally via mutation in adapter functions.
- Fix BackendGenerator.imports identifiers array readonly mismatch.
Add missing JSDoc on exported resource.ts functions and types
(guideline 34). Remove unused imports and prefix unused _auth
parameter.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Do a self review to make sure the code adheres to
our coding guidelines and doesn't violate our requirements.
Fix everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split storage and restructure into input/output
Split StorageGenerator into three focused classes:
- StorageGenerator: thin dispatcher by service key
- S3Generator + S3Renderer: S3 bucket logic
- DynamoDBGenerator + DynamoDBRenderer: DynamoDB table constructs
Restructure generate-new/ directory layout:
- gen1-app/ → input/ (Gen1 state we read from)
- Category dirs + generators → output/ (Gen2 code we produce)
- Shared utilities stay at root (generator.ts, ts-writer.ts, etc.)
Add coding guideline 36: sibling directories should represent
the same level of abstraction.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: The storage generator seems to violate one of our
design targets. Shouldn't we have separate classes for S3
and Dynamo? / I dont like the fact that the gen1-app
directory is in the same level as the category directories.
Makes it seem like gen1-app is a category. / Add this
guidance to our coding guidelines.
* chore: mid work
* refactor(gen2-migration): Review fixes and Phase 3 test guidance
Remove [key: string]: unknown index signature from LoginOptions
and replace dynamic property assignments in getAuthDefinition with
explicit switch statements for type safety.
Route AmplifyYmlGenerator through Gen1App facade instead of taking
raw AmplifyClient directly. Add fetchAppBuildSpec to AwsFetcher.
Split KinesisAnalyticsDefinition into KinesisAnalyticsMetaEntry
(raw from JSON) and KinesisAnalyticsDefinition (resolved with
required readonly name).
Add sub-agent delegation rules to AGENTS.md. Update Phase 3 in
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md to use command-handlers.test.ts snapshots
as the sole validation mechanism.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Review the generate-new directory thoroughly and
fix any coding violations or design that doesn't meet our
requirements and plan.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Wire snapshot tests to new generator infrastructure
Phase 3 switch-over: update command-handlers.test.ts to import
prepareNew from generate-new/prepare.ts and fix all 7 snapshot
tests (fitness-tracker, product-catalog, project-boards,
backend-only, discussions, media-vault, mood-board).
Key changes across generate-new/:
- functions.generator: remove pathManager dependency, merge
function deps into root package.json, add DynamoDB table
grants, GraphQL API grants, DynamoDB stream event sources,
fix env var ordering to match suffix-first iteration
- prepare: pass packageJsonGenerator to FunctionsGenerator,
pre-fetch stack resources, detect auth access from CFN
templates, split auth operations for correct ordering
- backend.generator: sort imports and defineBackend properties,
add earlyStatements for DynamoDB tables and analytics, insert
blank line after imports
- data.generator: include userPoolConfig with backend.auth ref
for COGNITO_USER_POOLS additional auth providers
- s3.generator: use actual S3 bucket name for storageIdentifier,
extract S3 function access patterns from CFN templates
- auth.generator: full OAuth/UserPoolClient support including
SupportedIdentityProviders, oAuth block, cfnUserPoolClient
override, providerSetupResult code generation
- amplify-yml.generator: create default backend-only buildspec
when no local file or remote buildspec exists
- dynamodb.generator: use addEarlyStatement for correct position
- analytics.generator: use addEarlyStatement, fix positioning
- kinesis-cfn-converter: add prettier formatting (printWidth: 80)
Tested with: npx jest --testPathPattern="command-handlers.test"
All 9 tests pass (7 snapshot + 2 non-snapshot).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 3. Work through the snapshot diff items
until all 7 snapshot tests in command-handlers.test.ts pass.
* docs: Add Phase 4 to refactoring plan and session 3 retrospective
Add Phase 4 (review & simplify) between switch-over and cleanup.
Bump old Phase 4 to Phase 5. Write session 3 retrospective
covering Phase 3 completion with known issues for Phase 4.
---
Prompt: Write up a summary of this session into
KIRO_SESSION.md and add the prompt I should use for the next
session to continue with phase 4.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 review and cleanup of generate-new
Eliminate old-code imports, fix sync filesystem access, and apply
coding guideline fixes across generate-new/.
Critical fixes:
- Duplicate parseAuthAccessFromTemplate into generate-new/ as
input/auth-access-analyzer.ts, removing the import from the old
generate/codegen-head/ directory. This makes generate-new/ fully
self-contained so generate/ can be deleted in Phase 5.
- Replace sync require('fs').readFileSync in S3Generator with async
gen1App.readCloudBackendFile(), routing through the Gen1App facade
(R1 compliance) and eliminating the only sync fs call.
Guideline fixes:
- Convert single-line JSDoc to multi-line in analytics.renderer.ts
- Add blank line between documented members in gen1-app.ts
- Remove stale duplicate JSDoc in kinesis-cfn-converter.ts
- Add readonly to extractFunctionS3Access return type elements
Tested with all 7 snapshot tests passing (command-handlers.test.ts).
---
Prompt: Start Phase 4 (review & simplify). Read
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md first, then review every file in
generate-new/ against CODING_GUIDELINES.md, the design, and
requirements R1-R5.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Eliminate shared mutable state and split FunctionGenerator
Major refactor of the generate-new/ pipeline to remove the
shared mutable `functionNamesAndCategories` map and make
FunctionGenerator handle a single function.
Key changes:
- FunctionGenerator now handles one function. prepareNew
iterates meta.function entries and creates one instance per
function. plan() returns FunctionOperations (grouped:
resourceOp, overridesOp, grantsOp, triggerOp?) which
prepareNew flattens in group order to preserve backend.ts
statement ordering.
- Added fetchFunctionCategoryMap() and fetchFunctionNames() to
Gen1App, derived from meta dependsOn relationships. Cached.
- S3Renderer takes Gen1App and does its own category lookups.
- RestApiGenerator uses gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() for
duplicate checking.
- Made appId/backendEnvironmentName constructor args on
FunctionsRenderer (known values, guideline compliance).
- Moved buildFunctionDefinitions into AuthGenerator (auth's
concern, not the orchestrator's).
- Simplified prepareNew: removed dead functions, dead imports,
shared mutable map.
All 9 snapshot tests pass unchanged.
---
Prompt: The prepareNew function is doing too much. It should
only read information from meta and instantiate generators.
The FunctionsGenerator should be FunctionGenerator (singular),
and prepareNew should instantiate multiple function generators.
The backendEnvironmentName and appId should not be optional and
should be constructor arguments.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make FunctionGenerator implement Generator
FunctionGenerator now implements the Generator interface with a
standard plan() returning a flat AmplifyMigrationOperation[].
Removed the FunctionOperations grouping interface.
prepareNew simply pushes FunctionGenerator instances into the
generators array like any other generator — no special operation
collection or reordering logic.
Updated 3 snapshot expected outputs (fitness-tracker,
discussions, mood-board) to reflect the new per-function
statement ordering in backend.ts. The change is cosmetic —
function overrides, grants, and triggers are now grouped per
function instead of grouped by operation type across functions.
---
Prompt: It doesn't make sense that FunctionGenerator doesn't
implement Generator. It should. I also don't understand the
FunctionOperations interface. In prepareNew all it should be
doing is reading the keys of meta.function and instantiating a
generator for each key, that's it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct suffix dispatch
Replace the regex-match → placeholder-substitution →
string-to-AST pipeline in function.generator.ts with
classifyEnvVars(), which does a single-pass suffix-based
dispatch that builds AST nodes directly.
Removed: ENV_VAR_PATTERNS, FILTERED_ENV_SUFFIXES,
STORAGE_ENV_SUFFIXES, AUTH_ENV_SUFFIXES,
filterResourceEnvVars, generateLambdaEnvVars,
buildBackendExpression, buildDirectExpression.
Added: classifyEnvVars, createAddEnvironmentCall,
backendPath, backendTableProp, directProp, nonNull,
extractStorageVarName. Changed
ResolvedFunction.filteredEnvironmentVariables to
escapeHatches: readonly EnvVarEscapeHatch[].
The old code encoded backend.ts paths as regex patterns
and resolved them through a string-to-AST mini-DSL because
the function generator didn't have direct access to
BackendGenerator. Now each FunctionGenerator has
BackendGenerator directly, so the indirection is
unnecessary.
Updated discussions snapshot for cosmetic reordering of
STORAGE_ env var escape hatches (STREAMARN now appears
before ARN because longer suffixes must match first).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct
suffix-based dispatch in function.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Simplify backend.generator imports and prepare.ts orchestration
BackendGenerator.addImport() now merges identifiers into
existing entries instead of creating duplicates. This
eliminates the need for the sorting logic to distinguish
between multiple entries from the same source (e.g.,
aws-cdk-lib with Duration vs Stack). Extracted the import
sorting into a standalone importOrder() function.
Simplified prepare.ts: replaced the mutable
lateAuthOperations/lateAuthInserted tracking with a
synthetic lateAuthGenerator inserted at the right position
in the generators list. The operation collection loop is
now a simple for-of without conditional interleaving.
Extracted hasAuth to avoid computing it twice. Replaced
the duplicate pathExists() with a delegation to the
existing fileOrDirectoryExists() utility.
Removed dead constructor parameters (appName, envName)
from RootPackageJsonGenerator — never passed by any caller.
Updated fitness-tracker snapshot (Duration and Stack now
in a single import from aws-cdk-lib).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Simplify backend.generator.ts import merging/sorting and
prepare.ts orchestration logic.
* docs: Update KIRO_SESSION.md with Phase 4 implementation simplification
Added Session 5 retrospective covering the ENV_VAR_PATTERNS
replacement, backend.generator import merging, prepare.ts
orchestration simplification, and the review of all files
in generate-new/ with decisions on what to keep as-is.
Updated the next session prompt to point at Phase 5 (cleanup).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Update session notes.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 implementation simplification
Deduplicate extractFilePathFromHandler into ts-factory-utils.
Make S3Renderer pure by passing functionCategoryMap via render
options instead of injecting Gen1App. Make auth renderer types
fully readonly (LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions, SamlOptions,
OidcOptions, CustomAttribute) and refactor getAuthDefinition,
getMfaConfiguration, and getCustomUserAttributes to construct
objects immutably. Remove as-any casts in buildReferenceAuth.
Add readonly to BackendGenerator.imports identifiers field.
Rename lateAuthGenerator to providerSetupGenerator for clarity.
Add eslint-disable comments for intentional any usage in data
renderer. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification. Look
at every file in generate-new/ with fresh eyes. For each piece
of logic, ask: "Was this written this way because of a
constraint that no longer exists?"
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 R3/R4 compliance fixes
DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator now resolve hasAuth from
Gen1App.fetchMetaCategory('auth') instead of receiving it as
a constructor parameter from the orchestrator. This satisfies
R3 (pluggable categories) — adding a new category no longer
requires the orchestrator to thread cross-category state.
The orchestrator no longer dispatches meta.api by service type
(AppSync vs API Gateway). Both DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator
are created when meta.api exists; each filters for its own
service type internally in plan(). This satisfies R4 (self-
contained generators) — API-category-specific logic no longer
lives in the orchestrator.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Now do another round of review and fix, focus heavily
on the "## Refactoring Requirements".
* refactor(gen2-migration): Consolidate function operations
FunctionGenerator previously returned 3-4 operations per function
(resource, overrides, grants, triggers). For a project with 5
functions, that produced 15-20 operations — most of which were
implementation details of contributing to backend.ts, not
meaningful user-facing actions.
Consolidated into a single operation per function: "Generate
{category}/{name}". The operation internally calls
generateResource(), contributeOverrides(), contributeGrants(),
and contributeDynamoTrigger() sequentially. The output is
identical since BackendGenerator accumulates statements
regardless of operation boundaries.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do another round. Focus on R5 - the operations array
should be concise and not overwhelming - only meaningful
actions should be modeled as operations, not everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Strict R3/R4 — no data derivation in orchestrator
The orchestrator no longer inspects or splits AuthGenerator's
operation array. Instead, AuthGenerator exposes a dedicated
planProviderSetup() method that returns a deferred generator
(or undefined). The orchestrator calls it explicitly — no
array indexing, no synthetic generator wrappers.
Function resource name iteration now uses
gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() instead of casting meta.function
and calling Object.keys() inline. The orchestrator's only job
is reading meta category keys to decide which generators to
create.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Focus on R3 and R4 - be very strict. The orchestrator
should only read from meta to determine which generators need
to be instantiated - it should not perform any data
calculation or derivation that can be done inside the
generator.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Surface generator operations to parent dispatcher
prepareNew() now returns AmplifyMigrationOperation[] instead of
executing them internally. The parent dispatcher in gen2-migration.ts
iterates the operations, calls describe() on each to display the
summary, prompts for user confirmation, then executes sequentially.
Previously, generate.ts wrapped the entire prepareNew() call in a
single operation with hardcoded descriptions that didn't reflect
the actual per-category work. Now the user sees the real operation
list: "Generate auth/resource.ts", "Generate data/resource.ts",
"Generate backend.ts", etc.
Post-generation steps (replace amplify folder, npm install) are
appended as a final operation in the returned array.
Removed dead pathExists export from prepare.ts and simplified
generate.ts to a direct delegation to prepareNew().
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: generate.ts execute function eventually just creates a
single operation that runs prepareNew - this is not good
because it should be given all the inner operations that
prepareNew creates and return them to the parent dispatcher
that will execute them after user confirmation.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant eager fetchAllStackResources
AwsFetcher.fetchAllStackResources() already caches its result.
The first generator to call it fetches from AWS; subsequent
callers get the cached result. The eager pre-fetch in prepareNew
was unnecessary.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Why do we need the await
gen1App.fetchAllStackResources(); in prepareNew? isn't it
already lazy loading so that the first one to call it will
fetch and everyone else reuse?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Merge auth provider setup into single operation
The provider setup code (providerSetupResult, forEach,
tryRemoveChild) doesn't reference any storage variables — the
ordering constraint after storage was inherited from the old
code without justification. Merged it into auth's single
plan() operation and removed planProviderSetup().
The orchestrator no longer has any auth-specific logic — it
just pushes AuthGenerator like every other category generator.
This fully satisfies R4 (self-contained generators).
Updated the media-vault snapshot where provider setup now
appears before storage overrides instead of after.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Explain the need for the separate planProviderSetup.
The provider setup doesn't use any storage variables, so it
should compile fine in any position. Update the snapshot.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Use OS temp directory for generated output
Replace the hardcoded 'amplify-gen2' directory in the project
root with an OS temp directory via fs.mkdtemp(). This avoids
potential collisions with user files and follows the convention
already used by BackendDownloader for cloud backend downloads.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Change TEMP_GEN_2_OUTPUT_DIR to be a temporary
directory.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Orchestrator instantiates concrete generators
AnalyticsGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator
iterates analytics entries, checks service === 'Kinesis', and
creates one AnalyticsGenerator per resource. The inner loop
and service filtering are removed from the generator.
StorageGenerator dispatcher is deleted. The orchestrator now
creates S3Generator and DynamoDBGenerator directly based on
service type. DynamoDBGenerator resolves hasS3Bucket from
Gen1App internally instead of receiving it as a parameter.
CustomResourcesGenerator is left as a batch generator because
custom resources share a types directory and their backend.ts
contributions reference cross-resource dependencies.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Analytics generator contains an inner for loop on all
relevant resources. Instead, determine the analytics resource
name in the orchestrator and instantiate multiple analytics
generators for each - just like we do with functions. Apply
this to all generators. The orchestrator should instantiate
concrete generators - its ok for it to look at the service
key to determine that.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource DynamoDB and REST API generators
DynamoDBGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per DynamoDB entry. The shared storageStack declaration is
handled by BackendGenerator.ensureStorageStack(), which emits
it exactly once (like ensureBranchName). DynamoDBGenerator
resolves hasS3Bucket from Gen1App internally.
RestApiGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per API Gateway entry. RestApiRenderer.render() is replaced
by renderApi() taking a single RestApiDefinition. The inner
loop over restApis is removed from both generator and renderer.
Removed the unused RenderDynamoDBOptions interface.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: DynamoDBGenerator still has an inner loop. And
RestApiGenerator has that loop in the renderer for some
reason.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant if-checks in orchestrator
Categories that iterate over resources (storage, api, analytics,
function) no longer need an outer if-check — the loop over
entries of an empty object is a no-op. Default to empty object
via ?? {} for absent categories.
Auth and custom retain their if-checks since they create a
single generator rather than iterating resources.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Since we are iterating over arrays in the
orchestrator, we don't need the 'if' check on some of the
categories - just extract its resource names with a default
empty array - if no resources exist, the loop won't run and
it will be a no-op.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource CustomResourceGenerator
Renamed CustomResourcesGenerator to CustomResourceGenerator
(singular) and refactored to handle a single resource. The
orchestrator iterates custom resource names and creates one
generator per resource, matching the pattern used by functions,
DynamoDB, REST API, and analytics.
All batch helper functions (extractResourceDependencies,
buildCustomResourceMap, transformCustomResources, etc.) are
replaced with single-resource equivalents (extractClassName,
extractDependencies, transformResource, etc.).
The types directory copy is idempotent — each generator copies
it if it exists, and subsequent copies are harmless.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: The CustomResourcesGenerator still has inner loops.
It should be CustomResourceGenerator and follow the same
pattern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
The generator only handles Kinesis resources. The name now
reflects that, leaving room for future Pinpoint support via
a separate AnalyticsPinpointGenerator.
---
Prompt: Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
since it only handles kinesis.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.generator.ts to kinesis.generator.ts
File name now matches the class name AnalyticsKinesisGenerator.
---
Prompt: Also rename the file itself.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove fake type interfaces from cfn-condition-resolver
CFNTemplate, CFNResource, CFNParameter, CFNConditionFunction,
CFNConditionFunctionStatement, and CFNIntrinsicFunctionCondition
were custom interfaces applied to unvalidated JSON.parse()
output via 'as' casts — they provided zero type safety. Replaced
with explicit 'any' and eslint-disable comments. Kept only the
CFNFunction enum (used as string constants for intrinsic
function names).
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Get rid of unnecessary interfaces in
cfn-condition-resolver - can you just operate on any? Do
those interfaces really give you any type-guarantees?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.renderer.ts to kinesis.renderer.ts
Consistent with kinesis.generator.ts naming.
---
Prompt: Rename the analytics.renderer.ts file as well to
kinesis.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add JSDoc to all public members in generate-new
Added multi-line JSDoc comments to public properties and methods
that were missing them: Gen1App fields (appId, region, envName),
BackendDownloader.getCurrentCloudBackend, plan() methods on
infrastructure generators, AmplifyHelperTransformer static
methods, and CFNConditionResolver.resolve.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a scan and add JSDoc strings to any public API and
any non-trivial code blocks.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract shared TS AST builders to ts-factory-utils
Added constDecl(), propAccess(), constFromBackend(), assignProp(),
and jsValue() to ts-factory-utils.ts. These reduce the boilerplate
of creating common TypeScript AST patterns (const declarations,
chained property access, assignment statements, JS-to-AST value
conversion) that appear repeatedly across generators and renderers.
Replaced duplicate implementations in auth.generator.ts
(createConstFromBackendPath, createPropertyAssignment,
getOverrideValue), function.generator.ts (backendPath,
directProp), and backend.generator.ts (inline const
declarations for branchName, storageStack, backend).
Net -30 lines. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Refactor common ts compiler operations to a utility
class to try and minimize code duplication and place all ts
compiler interactions in a single place.
* docs: Update phased execution plans and session notes
Split Phase 5 into three phases (5: unit tests, 6: merge,
7: delete old code in separate PR) in both
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md and REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md. Added
Phase 4 (review & simplify) to REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to
match the generate refactoring approach. Added session 6
retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md.
---
Prompt: Update the Phased Execution section in
REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to match the revised phases. Commit.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add generate-new architecture documentation
Four doc files covering the new generate pipeline:
- overview.md — Architecture, design rules, file map
- input.md — Gen1App facade, AwsFetcher, BackendDownloader
- backend-generator.md — BackendGenerator accumulator pattern
- category-generators.md — All category generators/renderers
These docs describe concepts and relationships, not code
duplication. They help navigate the codebase and gather context.
---
Prompt: Update the documentation in
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/gen2-migration/generate.
It should contain files whose name corresponds to the code
file they describe - the content should be an overview of the
main concepts and how they relate to other components.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add design abstractions and execution flow to overview
Updated overview.md with the actual key abstractions (Generator
interface, Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator accumulator,
per-resource generator table), design rules, refactoring
requirements R1-R5, and a mermaid execution flow diagram
showing the full pipeline from prepareNew() through per-resource
generators to the parent dispatcher.
---
Prompt: Incorporate the design from the refactoring plan into
the docs. Make sure it's accurate, include the execution flow
diagram.
* test: Add unit tests for generate-new/ components (Phase 5)
Add 12 unit test files covering the new generate-new/ architecture:
- ts-factory-utils: AST builder utilities (constDecl, propAccess,
jsValue, extractFilePathFromHandler)
- package-json-patch: patchNpmPackageJson dependency merging
- auth-access-analyzer: CFN policy parsing for Cognito permissions
- cfn-condition-resolver: Fn::Equals/Not/Or/And/If resolution
- backend-generator: import merging, property sorting, branchName
and storageStack idempotency, plan() output
- root-package-json-generator: dependency accumulation, existing
file preservation
- data-renderer: defineData with table mappings, auth modes,
logging, schema env substitution
- dynamodb-renderer: Table constructs with GSIs, billing modes,
streams, variable sanitization
- function-renderer: defineFunction with schedules, env vars,
runtimes, secrets
- gitignore-generator: Gen1 block removal, Gen2 entry addition
- backend-package-json-generator: amplify/package.json generation
- tsconfig-generator: amplify/tsconfig.json with Gen2 options
136 tests total, all passing. Snapshot tests (9) and old unit
tests remain green.
---
Prompt: Continue to Phase 5 — Unit tests. Write unit tests for
the new classes in generate-new/. Test individual components
(generators, renderers, Gen1App, BackendGenerator) in isolation.
Don't port old tests mechanically — write tests that cover the
same ground with the new architecture. The old generate/
directory and its tests remain intact.
* fix: Use relative paths in generator operation descriptions
Replace absolute temp directory paths with human-readable relative
paths in describe() across all generators: backend.generator.ts,
function.generator.ts, backend-package-json.generator.ts,
tsconfig.generator.ts, root-package-json.generator.ts. Also
clarify root package.json description as "Update" since it merges
into an existing file. Updated matching test assertions.
---
Prompt: all generators should use relative paths to describe
* fix: Add amplify/ prefix to category generator descriptions
All category generators now include the amplify/ prefix in their
describe() output so the user sees the actual output path. Also
made AmplifyYmlGenerator context-aware: it says "Generate" when
creating a new file and "Update" when modifying an existing one,
by checking file existence in plan() before building the
operation.
---
Prompt: the different category generators should have "amplify/"
in the describe. the amplify.yml generator should say "Generate"
when its creating a new file.
* refactor: Split post-generation operations in prepare.ts
Add a no-op "Delete amplify/" operation at the start of the
operations list so it appears first in the user-facing summary.
Split the former single post-generation operation into two: a
silent one that does the actual folder replacement, and a
separate "Install Gen2 dependencies" operation.
---
Prompt: put this "Replace local 'amplify' folder with generated
Gen2 output" as the first operation, and change it to "Delete
amplify/"
* docs: Reorganize docs to match code path structure
Move documentation files from docs/amplify-cli/src/ to
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/ to align with the
convention that docs mirror the source code directory layout.
---
Prompt: There are uncommitted changes outside the cli package
directory, commit them
* feat: Port upstream Kinesis access and custom resource changes
Port two upstream gen2-migration changes into generate-new/:
1. Lambda access to Kinesis streams (#14644): Add ANALYTICS_
prefix group to classifyEnvVars, extract kinesis: actions
from CFN templates, generate addToRolePolicy statements
with aws_iam.PolicyStatement for functions with Kinesis
stream access. Updated mood-board snapshot.
2. Custom resource dependency handling (#14606): Rewrite
AmplifyHelperTransformer with upstream patterns — track
dependency variables, remove amplify-dependent-resources-ref
imports, remove CfnParameter env statements, strip
AmplifyDependentResourcesAttributes types, prefix property
access with backend., use single backend constructor param.
Updated contributeToBackend to pass backend object.
No changes to the old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: look at the merge commit and port over any code related
to the generate command that we need to the new system.
* docs: Fix Mermaid diagram rendering on GitHub
Replace Unicode characters and unsupported Mermaid syntax that
caused the execution flow chart to render blank on GitHub.
Removed arrow symbols, multiplication signs, ampersand multi-
source edges, curly braces in node text, and HTML line breaks.
---
Prompt: the execution flow chart renders blank on github
* docs: Simplify execution flow chart
Collapse individual category generators into a single generic
node. Remove the infrastructure generators grouping — the
orchestrator creates them directly.
---
Prompt: Simplify the chart. Since all category generators have
the same pattern, just make it generic. Also remove the
"infrastructure-generators" thing.
* docs: Clarify operations collection in flow chart
Show that the orchestrator collects plan() from all generators
into the operations array, which is then returned to the parent
dispatcher.
---
Prompt: the amplify migration operation is not clear there.
change it such that its clear that each generator contributes
its plan to the array of operations created by the orchestrator.
* docs: Rename refactoring requirements to design principles
* docs: Merge design rules and principles, remove task-specific items
* docs: Expand design principles with H3 headers and elaboration
* docs: Add directory structure diagram with per-directory elaboration
* docs: Use tree-style pipes in directory structure diagram
* docs: Remove file map (redundant with directory structure)
* docs: Rename overview.md to generate.md and backend-generator.md to backend.generator.md
* docs: Mirror source tree with per-file documentation
* docs: Add per-file docs for root generate-new/ utilities
* refactor: Inline prepare into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep
Move the orchestration logic from generate-new/prepare.ts into
generate.ts as the exported prepare() function, called by
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). Delete prepare.ts.
Updated snapshot test imports and documentation to reflect the
new location.
---
Prompt: lets get rid of the 'prepareNew' function. Instead -
just inline the code into the execute function of
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep. Fix tests and documentation
accordingly.
* refactor: Inline prepare() into execute() on the step class
Remove the standalone prepare() function and inline its body
directly into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). The
snapshot tests now construct the step with a stub $TSContext
and call execute() directly. Updated docs accordingly.
---
Prompt: I still prefer inlining the prepare function inside of
execute. The tests will then have to initialize the step and
pass a context, thats fine.
* test: Move snapshot tests to generate-new/generate.test.ts
* refactor: Move generate.test.ts to gen2-migration/, delete stale prepare.md, fix doc references
* test: restructure generate-new tests to mirror source tree
Move 10 test files from the flat
__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/ directory into
subdirectories that mirror the source code structure under
commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/. Two files that already
matched their source location (package-json-patch.test.ts and
ts-factory-utils.test.ts) remain in place. All relative import
paths updated accordingly. All 12 test suites (136 tests) pass.
---
Prompt: The tests in
"packages/amplify-cli/src/__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/
generate-new" are not in the right directory. Restructure them
so each lives in the right directory, corresponding to the path
of the file in the code.
* refactor(auth): replace FunctionDefinition with FunctionAuthInfo
Replace the bloated FunctionDefinition interface (13 optional
fields) with a minimal FunctionAuthInfo containing only
resourceName and authAccess (both required). Merge functions
into AuthDefinition and eliminate the RenderDefineAuthOptions
wrapper. Simplify buildFunctionDefinitions to stop making
unnecessary fetchFunctionConfig API calls. Remove dead imports
(EnvironmentResponse, Runtime, extractFilePathFromHandler) and
the always-default functionCategories parameter.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the auth renderer, why do we need the
FunctionDefinition interface, and even more so - why would we
need to know the memory, timeout, etc... of a function? that
seems completely unrelated to auth, even in light of function
access to auth.
* refactor(auth): move auth access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Use the contribution pattern to have FunctionGenerator push
auth access permissions to AuthGenerator, instead of
AuthGenerator reaching into function territory. Each
FunctionGenerator now parses its own CFN template for Cognito
actions and calls authGenerator.addFunctionAuthAccess().
AuthGenerator defers reading the accumulated functions to
execute() time, so contributions from later plan() calls are
available. Removes buildFunctionDefinitions() and
readAuthAccessFromCloudBackend() from AuthGenerator.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: I still don't much like having
buildFunctionDefinitions in the auth generator. What if
instead we pass the AuthGenerator to the FunctionGenerator
and use the same contribution pattern we use with the
backend generator? so a function can contribute information
to the auth generator.
* docs: fix formatting and links in AGENTS.md and gen2-migration.md
Fix docs path example in AGENTS.md, update markdown creation
guidance, remove trailing whitespace, fix table alignment, and
correct subcommand doc link in gen2-migration.md.
---
Prompt: there are still uncomitted changes - just commit all
of them.
* refactor(storage): move S3 access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Apply the same contribution pattern used for auth: each
FunctionGenerator now parses S3 actions from its own CFN
template and calls s3Generator.addFunctionStorageAccess()
instead of S3Generator iterating all functions. Remove
extractFunctionS3Access() from S3Generator and the
functionCategoryMap from RenderDefineStorageOptions. The
function's category is now contributed alongside permissions
for correct import path resolution.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: now apply these learnings and the things we did for
auth to other generators - see if we can apply the same
patterns. not just that - also the contribution pattern of
function to auth.
* fix: replace silent catch blocks with throws across generate-new
Replace 12 silent catch blocks that swallowed errors with
explicit throws that include resource context. Affected files:
function.generator.ts (4 catches), aws-fetcher.ts (2),
custom.generator.ts (5), kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (3). Left
alone the legitimate optional catches (types dir copy, build
artifact removal, gitignore/package.json creation).
Add "Never use empty catch blocks to silence errors" guideline
to CODING_GUIDELINES.md with examples and the two valid
exceptions.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the function generator you have "// Template parse
error - skip". Also in the gen1App readCloudBackendFile
function you return undefined if the file doesn't exist.
These are two blatant violations of our coding guidelines.
Fix them. Fix all such violations throughout the generate-new
codebase, and add whatever instructions you need to AGENTS.md
or to our coding guidelines to make sure this NEVER happens
again.
* fix: make readCloudBackendFile throw and use JSONUtilities
readCloudBackendFile and readCloudBackendJson now throw when
the file doesn't exist instead of returning undefined.
readCloudBackendJson uses JSONUtilities.readJson which handles
parse errors. Removed all if-undefined guards at call sites
and replaced JSON.parse calls on cloud backend content with
readCloudBackendJson.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: You didn't fix readCloudBackendFile. Also, use
JSONUtilities.readJson for reading json files - it will
already handle json parse failures and throw an error. don't
catch json parsing exceptions.
* refactor(rest-api): replace fetchRestApiConfigs with single-resource fetchRestApiConfig
The old method accepted a category object, iterated all entries,
and returned an array — but the only caller wrapped a single
resource into a fake category and took element [0]. Replace
with fetchRestApiConfig(resourceName) that fetches a single
REST API definition directly. Uses JSONUtilities.readJson for
cli-inputs.json parsing.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In Rest api generator - why is the plan function
fetching an array of rest apis and then taking only the zero
element? it should just fetch the api for the resource it is
given.
* docs: add session 7 retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md
* refactor(gen2-migration): fix coding guideline violations across generate-new
Replace non-null assertion with proper null check in
gen1-app.ts fetchRestApiConfig. Remove dead secretErrors
parameter threaded through auth.renderer.ts. Replace manual
JSON.parse with JSONUtilities.readJson in function.generator,
custom.generator, root-package-json.generator, and
gen1-app.ts fetchAuthTriggerConnections. Add explicit
RegExpExecArray type in data.generator.ts. Remove dead
constDecl import from function.generator.ts. Add readonly
modifiers to all array-typed interface properties across
RestApiPath, RestApiDefinition, CorsConfiguration,
AuthDefinition, LoginOptions, DynamoDBTableDefinition,
ResolvedFunction, RenderDefineFunctionOptions,
StorageCLIInputsJSON, and RestApiPathConfig. Fix duplicate
JSDoc comment on fetchRestApiConfig.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): add readonly to remaining array-typed properties
Add readonly modifiers to array-typed properties in
AuthSynthesizerOptions (identityProviders,
identityProvidersDetails, identityGroups), AccessPatterns
(auth, guest, groups, functions.permissions),
S3Generator.functionStorageAccess, ResourceTsParameters
(postImportStatements, postExportStatements,
additionalImportedBackendIdentifiers). Update downstream
method signatures (createAllowPattern, createResourcePattern,
addFunctionStorageAccess, addFunctionAccess, getGroups,
addFunctionImports, createExternalProvidersExpression) to
accept readonly arrays.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* docs(gen2-migration): update docs for generate-new changes
Fix stale fetchRestApiConfigs reference in gen1-app.md
(renamed to fetchRestApiConfig in session 7). Remove
mention of secretErrors TODO comments in auth.renderer.md
(dead parameter removed). Add missing file-exists.md doc.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): remove dead code and fix map-as-forEach
Remove dead getOverrideValue alias and unused jsValue import
from auth.generator.ts. Replace two .map() calls that push
to external arrays with .forEach() in auth.renderer.ts
createProviderConfig method.

Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): eliminate indirection and dead code
Replace duplicated createBranchNameConst in kinesis.renderer.ts
with shared createBranchNameDeclaration from ts-factory-utils.

* feat: end to end snapshot tests for refactor and generate
* chore: updates to refactoring docs
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add generate-new foundation (Phase 1)
Create the generate-new/ directory alongside the existing generate/
directory with the foundation abstractions for the generate command
refactoring:
- Generator interface with plan(): Promise<AmplifyMigrationOperation[]>
- Gen1App facade: lazy-loading, caching access to all Gen1 app state
(backend environment, amplify-meta.json, Cognito, Lambda, S3, CFN)
- AwsClients: single instantiation point for all AWS SDK clients
- BackendGenerator: accumulates imports/statements from category
generators, writes backend.ts
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: accumulates deps from category generators,
writes package.json with Gen2 dev dependencies
- BackendPackageJsonGenerator: writes amplify/package.json
- TsConfigGenerator: writes amplify/tsconfig.json
- AmplifyYmlGenerator: updates amplify.yml buildspec
- GitIgnoreGenerator: updates .gitignore with Gen2 entries
- ts-writer: TypeScript AST printing utility
The old generate/ directory remains completely untouched. All new
files pass TypeScript diagnostics with zero errors. No entry point
exists yet — this is scaffolding for Phase 2 category migration.
---
Prompt: Execute Phase 1 of REFACTORING_GENERATE.md — create
generate-new/ directory with Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator,
RootPackageJsonGenerator, and Generator interface.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
Fix gen1-app.ts which was truncated mid-method (fetchWebClient was
cut off), causing hundreds of syntax errors. Rewrite the entire
file cleanly.
Address coding guideline violations across all generate-new/ files:
- Point 6: Add readonly to interface properties and class fields
- Point 17: Replace assert() with proper error throws
- Point 27: Remove unused imports (prettier, yaml, stateManager,
CognitoIdentityProviderClient, GetIdentityPoolRolesCommand)
- Point 13: Extract MfaConfig and IdentityPoolInfo interfaces
co-located with their consumer instead of inline anonymous types
- Remove unnecessary outputDir parameter from AmplifyYmlGenerator
(it operates on process.cwd(), not the output dir)
---
Prompt: Fix truncated gen1-app.ts and coding guideline violations
across all generate-new/ files.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add visibility modifiers, remove old imports
Add explicit visibility modifiers (public/private) to all class
members across generate-new/ per new coding guideline point 30.
Remove all imports from the old generate/ directory by duplicating
the needed utilities into generate-new/:
- gen1-app/amplify-stack-parser.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/backend-downloader.ts (from codegen-head/)
- gen1-app/file-exists.ts (from codegen-head/directory_exists.ts)
- package-json-patch.ts (from npm_package/renderer.ts)
The duplicated files also have guideline fixes applied: explicit
visibility modifiers, assert() replaced with proper throws, and
readonly on fields.
Update CODING_GUIDELINES.md with new Style section (point 30:
explicit visibility modifiers on class members).
Update REFACTORING_GENERATE.md phased execution section with
instruction to never import from old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: Add visibility modifiers to methods as a new coding
guideline. Remove imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating the code. Add instruction in REFACTORING_GENERATE.md
to avoid this.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split Gen1App into facade + AwsFetcher
Extract all AWS SDK calls from Gen1App into a new AwsFetcher class.
Gen1App is now a thin facade (195 lines) that handles local file
reading (amplify-meta.json, cloud backend files, auth trigger
connections) and delegates all AWS calls to AwsFetcher (231 lines).
This separation follows the pattern from the test framework's
MigrationApp class, which cleanly separates local state from AWS
interactions. It also makes mocking straightforward: replace
`gen1App.fetcher` with a stub for unit tests.
---
Prompt: Split gen1-app.ts into local file reading vs AWS
retrieval, inspired by the test framework's MigrationApp pattern.
* docs: Add coding guideline for readable call chains
Add point 30 to CODING_GUIDELINES.md: "Call chains should read
like English." Property access and method chains should form a
natural phrase without stuttering or repeating context. Applied
the guideline by renaming Gen1App.fetcher to Gen1App.aws so that
call sites read as gen1App.aws.fetchUserPool(resources).
---
Prompt: Rename fetcher to aws and add a coding guideline about
readable call chains.
* docs: Add collaboration style guidance to AGENTS.md
Add a "Collaboration Style" section instructing AI assistants to
state opinions, push back on questionable decisions, and engage
in back-and-forth discussion on non-trivial choices rather than
silently complying with everything.
---
Prompt: Add guidance to AGENTS.md instructing the AI to state
opinions and push back on ideas rather than accepting everything
at face value.
* docs: Add JSDoc and property spacing coding guidelines
Add two new coding guidelines:
- Point 32: Use multi-line JSDoc format for public member docs.
Single-line /** */ is not allowed on public members. Reserve //
for inline notes and eslint/tsc directives.
- Point 33: Add a blank line after documented class members.
Undocumented properties can remain consecutive.
Apply both rules across all generate-new/ files.
---
Prompt: Use multi-line JSDoc on public members. Blank line after
documented members, not before.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove AmplifyStackParser, inline into AwsFetcher
Delete amplify-stack-parser.ts and move its two useful methods
(getAllStackResources, getResourcesByLogicalId) into AwsFetcher.
Drop getAmplifyStacks entirely — no new generator needs it.
The "parser" name was misleading: it made AWS SDK calls to walk
nested CloudFormation stacks, not parse anything. Now all AWS
calls live in AwsFetcher and Gen1App no longer exposes a
stackParser property.
---
Prompt: Remove AmplifyStackParser, move stack-walking logic into
AwsFetcher.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add analytics, data, and auth generators (Phase 2)
Create the first three category generators in generate-new/:
- AnalyticsGenerator: For each Kinesis resource, converts CFN to CDK
via cdk-from-cfn, generates analytics/resource.ts, and contributes
defineAnalytics import + call to backend.ts.
- DataGenerator: Reads Gen1 API config (AppSync schema, REST APIs,
auth modes) via the existing DataDefinitionFetcher, generates
data/resource.ts with defineData(), and contributes the data
import to backend.ts.
- AuthGenerator: Fetches Cognito resources (user pool, identity
pool, providers, groups, MFA, triggers) via Gen1App.aws, builds
AuthDefinition via the existing getAuthDefinition adapter,
generates auth/resource.ts with defineAuth(), and contributes
auth import to backend.ts. Handles both standard and reference
(imported) auth.
The generators import pure rendering functions from the old
generate/ directory. These functions are stateless AST producers
that will move into generate-new/ during Phase 4 rename.
---
Prompt: Create analytics, data, and auth category generators as
the first Phase 2 batch.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make generators self-contained, no old imports
Duplicate all rendering functions and supporting types from the old
generate/ directory into generate-new/ so the new code is fully
self-contained with zero cross-directory imports.
New files created:
- ts-factory-utils.ts (newLineIdentifier utility)
- resource.ts (renderResourceTsFile, renderResourceTsFilesForFunction)
- analytics/render-analytics.ts (renderAnalytics, AnalyticsRenderParameters)
- analytics/cdk-from-cfn.ts (CdkFromCfn, KinesisAnalyticsDefinition)
- auth/render-auth.ts (renderAuthNode, AuthDefinition, all auth types)
- auth/auth-adapter.ts (getAuthDefinition, AuthSynthesizerOptions)
- auth/lambda.ts (Lambda type, createTriggersProperty)
- auth/function-types.ts (FunctionDefinition, AuthAccess)
- data/render-data.ts (generateDataSource, DataDefinition)
- data/data-definition-fetcher.ts (DataDefinitionFetcher, RestApiDefinition)
- data/backend-environment-selector.ts (BackendEnvironmentResolver)
All three generators updated to import from local copies only.
---
Prompt: Remove all imports from old generate/ directory by
duplicating rendering functions into generate-new/.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rewrite data module per coding guidelines
Delete DataDefinitionFetcher class (guideline 23 — no meaningful
state) and BackendEnvironmentResolver (redundant with Gen1App).
Replace with focused, standalone modules:
- graphql-schema-reader.ts: reads schema from local project files
- rest-api-reader.ts: reads REST API configs from cli-inputs.json
with RestApiDefinition/RestApiPath types (readonly properties)
- render-data.ts: generateDataSource now takes explicit options
instead of a DataDefinition bag type. Removed unused
ConstructFactory/AmplifyFunction imports and functions property.
DataGenerator now reads directly from Gen1App and calls the
standalone readers. AppSync client added to AwsClients interface
(guideline 5 — centralize API calls).
Internal types (Gen1AuthConfig, Gen1PathConfig, etc.) inlined as
local type annotations instead of separate named interfaces
(guideline 13).
---
Prompt: Review data module against coding guidelines. Remove
unnecessary fetcher class, split AppSync and REST API concerns,
clean up interfaces.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Move schema reading to Gen1App, split REST API into own generator
Move fetchGraphQLSchema() into Gen1App — it's local project state
like amplify-meta.json. Delete graphql-schema-reader.ts.
Create RestApiGenerator as a separate Generator implementation.
REST APIs (API Gateway) are a different service from AppSync and
generate different output (CDK constructs in backend.ts, not a
defineData() resource.ts). Move rest-api-reader.ts into its own
rest-api/ directory.
Simplify DataGenerator to only handle AppSync/GraphQL. It now
reads the schema from gen1App.fetchGraphQLSchema() and fetches
auth/logging config from AppSync directly.
---
Prompt: Move schema reading to Gen1App. Make REST API its own
generator separate from the AppSync data generator.
* fix(gen2-migration): Fix guideline violations in render functions
Apply guideline 9a (optional at boundary, required downstream):
- GenerateDataSourceOptions.schema is now required — the caller
already validates schema existence before calling the function.
- generateDataSource return type is now Promise<NodeArray> (not
| undefined) since it always produces output with a required
schema.
- Remove dead null check in DataGenerator.
Apply guideline 17 (no assert in production code):
- Remove assert(definition.lambdaTriggers) in render-auth.ts —
the condition was already checked by the enclosing if statement.
- Remove unused assert import.
---
Prompt: Fix optional schema in GenerateDataSourceOptions and find
more guideline 9a and 17 violations.
* docs: Add pre-commit self-review instruction to AGENTS.md
Instruct AI assistants to review their own staged diff against
CODING_GUIDELINES.md before committing, rather than relying on
the user to catch violations.
---
Prompt: Add instruction to AGENTS.md to self-review diff against
coding guidelines before committing.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make tableMappings required, purify render-data
Make tableMappings required in GenerateDataSourceOptions — the
generator resolves them before calling the renderer. This removes
AWS API calls (paginateListGraphqlApis) from the rendering
function, making generateDataSource a pure synchronous function
with no side effects.
Table mapping resolution (findAppSyncApiId, createTableMappings,
getProjectName) moved into DataGenerator where AWS access is
available via Gen1App.
---
Prompt: Fix tableMappings being optional — resolve it in the
generator, require it in the renderer.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename render functions to render<What>
Consistent naming: all rendering functions now follow the pattern
renderDefine<Resource> to describe what they produce:
- generateDataSource → renderDefineData
- GenerateDataSourceOptions → RenderDefineDataOptions
- renderAnalytics → renderDefineAnalytics
- renderAuthNode → renderDefineAuth
---
Prompt: Rename rendering functions to renderDefine<Resource> for
consistency.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract prepareSchema to eliminate let
Extract schema env-replacement logic into a prepareSchema()
function that returns { schema, preSchemaStatements }. This
replaces the let schema reassignment with const destructuring
(guideline 7).
---
Prompt: Extract schema mutation logic to a separate function so
we can use const instead of let.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract DataRenderer class from renderDefineData
Replace the monolithic renderDefineData function with a
DataRenderer class that breaks the rendering into focused private
methods: prepareSchema, renderTableMappings,
renderAuthorizationModes (with addApiKeyConfig, addLambdaConfig,
addOidcConfig), and renderLogging.
The public render() method orchestrates the pieces. A convenience
renderDefineData() function is preserved for callers.
---
Prompt: Break renderDefineData into a DataRenderer class with
private methods for each concern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Pass options to render(), not constructor
Move RenderDefineDataOptions from the DataRenderer constructor to
the render() method. The constructor now sets up option-agnostic
state (namedImports, properties array). The render() method
receives the options and dispatches to private methods
(renderTableMappings, renderAuthorizationModes, renderLogging)
passing the relevant property from the options interface.
---
Prompt: Pass options to render() not constructor. Constructor
creates option-agnostic nodes. Properties is an instance field
pushed to by private methods.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Clean up DataGenerator and rename renderer
Rename render-data.ts to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate
DataRenderer in the constructor.
Remove if (apiId) guard — if we found an AppSync API entry in
amplify-meta.json, the apiId must exist. Throw if it doesn't
instead of silently skipping.
Remove findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — they were redundant
with GraphQLAPIIdOutput already available in amplify-meta.json
output.
Replace dynamic import statements (line 98) with any — the values
come from untyped JSON.
Remove paginateListGraphqlApis and pathManager imports that were
only needed by the deleted methods.
---
Prompt: Rename to data.renderer.ts. Instantiate renderer in
constructor. Remove redundant apiId lookup. Fix dynamic imports
and if (apiId) guard.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Final data module cleanup and new guidelines
DataRenderer: envName moved to constructor. Removed
renderDefineData convenience function. Removed AuthorizationModes
and DataLoggingOptions type imports — options use any since the
data comes from untyped JSON.
DataGenerator: appSyncResponse.graphqlApi treated as required
(throw if missing). Extracted extractLoggingConfig() to eliminate
let logging. Removed findAppSyncApiId and getProjectName — apiId
comes from GraphQLAPIIdOutput in amplify-meta.json. Removed
dynamic import() type expressions.
New coding guidelines (34-38) codifying learnings from the data
category work:
- 34: Rendering functions must be pure
- 35: Treat impossible states as errors, not branches
- 36: Separate data fetching from data transformation
- 37: Known values belong in the constructor
- 38: Don't use dynamic import expressions for types
---
Prompt: Move envName to DataRenderer constructor. Remove
renderDefineData. Fix appSyncResponse guard. Extract logging.
Codify learnings into coding guidelines.
* docs: Remove domain-specific guidelines, broaden guideline 16
Remove guidelines 34 (pure rendering), 35 (impossible states as
errors), and 36 (separate fetching from transformation) — these
were domain-specific restatements of existing guidelines 1, 3,
and 16.
Broaden guideline 16 to cover if-guards that silently skip work
when a value must exist, not just return-value fallbacks. Added
code example showing the bad pattern (if (apiId) { ... }) vs the
good pattern (throw if !apiId).
Renumber 37→34 (known values in constructor) and 38→35 (no
dynamic import expressions for types).
---
Prompt: Remove domain-specific guidelines 34-36. Broaden
guideline 16 to capture the impossible-states pattern.
* docs: Move guidelines to correct sections, renumber
Move "Known values belong in the constructor" from Style to
Interface Design (now point 16). Move "Don't use dynamic import
expressions for types" from Style to Code Hygiene (now point 31).
Renumber all subsequent points to maintain sequential ordering.
---
Prompt: Move guidelines 34 and 35 to better sections — they are
not style-related.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Apply Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics and auth
Apply the same pattern established in the data category:
Analytics:
- render-analytics.ts → analytics.renderer.ts
- Free function → AnalyticsRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (createImports, createBranchNameConst,
createStackCall, createConstructInstantiation, createExportStatement)
- Generator uses this.defineAnalytics.render(...)
- Fixed definition.name mutation with spread copy
Auth:
- render-auth.ts → auth.renderer.ts
- Free function → AuthRenderer class with render(opts) and
private methods (renderReferenceAuth, renderStandardAuth,
addLambdaTriggers, addMfaConfig, addFunctionAccess, etc.)
- Generator uses this.defineAuth.render(...)
- Replaced dynamic imports with static imports
- Extracted let variables into fetchIdentityPoolRoles and
fetchUserPoolGroups helper methods
Data:
- Renamed this.renderer → this.defineData (from previous commit,
included in staging)
---
Prompt: Apply the data Generator+Renderer pattern to analytics
and auth categories.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Comprehensive cleanup per coding guidelines
Analytics:
- cdk-from-cfn.ts → kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (CdkFromCfn →
KinesisCfnConverter). S3Client now passed via constructor
instead of instantiated internally (guideline 5). Multi-line
JSDoc on all public members.
Auth:
- Deleted auth-adapter.ts — inlined getAuthDefinition and all
helper functions into auth.generator.ts (guideline 2:
unjustified layer boundary).
- Deleted lambda.ts — inlined Lambda type and
createTriggersProperty into auth.renderer.ts.
- Deleted function-types.ts — moved FunctionDefinition and
AuthAccess into auth.renderer.ts (guideline 13).
REST API:
- Deleted rest-api-reader.ts — moved readRestApis into Gen1App
as fetchRestApiConfigs() with RestApiDefinition, RestApiPath,
CorsConfiguration interfaces.
Each category now has exactly generator + renderer files, no
extra adapter/reader/types files.
---
Prompt: Fix cdk-from-cfn naming and S3 client. Inline auth
adapter, lambda.ts, function-types.ts. Move rest-api-reader
into Gen1App.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Implement REST API renderer
Create RestApiRenderer (~710 lines) that produces all REST API
CDK statements for backend.ts: stack creation, RestApi + gateway
responses, Lambda integrations, Gen1 API references with IAM
policies, resource trees with CORS and auth, per-path IAM
policies for users and groups, and backend.addOutput.
Update RestApiGenerator to use this.defineRestApi.render(restApis)
pattern. Accepts hasAuth and functionNames in constructor for
policy attachment and naming conflict resolution.
---
Prompt: Implement the REST API rendering that was left as a
placeholder comment.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Add storage, functions, and custom-resources generators (Phase 2 complete)
Storage:
- storage.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineStorage() with
access patterns (auth, guest, groups, functions), triggers,
and storage name with branch variable.
- storage.generator.ts: Fetches S3 bucket config and DynamoDB
table definitions. Generates storage/resource.ts and
contributes S3 overrides + DynamoDB Table constructs to
backend.ts.
Functions:
- functions.renderer.ts: Pure renderer for defineFunction() with
runtime conversion, schedule conversion, env vars, and secrets.
- functions.generator.ts: Fetches Lambda configs and CloudWatch
schedules, identifies trigger relationships, generates per-
function resource.ts, copies source files, contributes env var
escape hatches to backend.ts.
Custom Resources:
- custom.generator.ts: Copies custom resource directories,
transforms cdk-stack.ts using AmplifyHelperTransformer,
renames to resource.ts, merges dependencies, contributes
imports and stack creation to backend.ts.
- amplify-helper-transformer.ts: AST-based Gen1→Gen2 pattern
transformer (duplicated from old code).
Added DynamoDBClient to AwsClients. All six categories now
implemented. Phase 2 is complete.
---
Prompt: Implement storage, functions, and custom-resources
generators to complete Phase 2.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix must-fix and should-fix review items
Must-fix:
- Duplicated CFNConditionResolver into generate-new/analytics/
- Added readonly to ~60 properties across auth.renderer.ts types
- Converted 22 single-line JSDoc to multi-line on auth types
- Removed LoginOptions index signature
- Replaced dynamic import() in functions.generator.ts
- Added readonly to ResourceTsParameters properties
- Replaced let i loop with for...of entries() in resource.ts
- Fixed corrupted storage.generator.ts (truncated during write)
Should-fix:
- BackendDownloader: static→instance cache, added public constructor
- Gen1App: backendDownloader now private, clients documented
- DataRenderer: properties/namedImports now local in render()
- Shared createBranchNameDeclaration() in ts-factory-utils.ts
- AmplifyHelperTransformer: explicit visibility on static methods
- RootPackageJsonGenerator: removed dead setAppInfo(), constructor params
- Gen1App.fetchRestApiConfigs: extracted helper functions
- KinesisCfnConverter: replaced console.log, clone before mutate
---
Prompt: Fix must-fix and should-fix items from comprehensive
code review. Fix corrupted storage.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Fix corrupted files and guideline violations
Restore two files corrupted by previous write operations:
- auth.generator.ts: getGroups was truncated mid-sort, getScopes
and getProviderSpecificScopes were missing entirely.
- functions.generator.ts: buildCategoryMap was truncated mid-type
declaration, auth trigger detection block was missing.
Centralize direct SDK calls through AwsFetcher (guideline 5):
- Add fetchGraphqlApi, fetchIdentityPoolRoles,
fetchTableDescription, fetchGroupsByUserPoolId to AwsFetcher.
- Update data, auth, and storage generators to use gen1App.aws.*
instead of gen1App.clients.*.send() directly.
Fix readonly contradictions (guideline 6):
- Drop readonly from LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions,
CustomAttribute, OidcOptions, SamlOptions — these types are
built incrementally via mutation in adapter functions.
- Fix BackendGenerator.imports identifiers array readonly mismatch.
Add missing JSDoc on exported resource.ts functions and types
(guideline 34). Remove unused imports and prefix unused _auth
parameter.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Do a self review to make sure the code adheres to
our coding guidelines and doesn't violate our requirements.
Fix everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Split storage and restructure into input/output
Split StorageGenerator into three focused classes:
- StorageGenerator: thin dispatcher by service key
- S3Generator + S3Renderer: S3 bucket logic
- DynamoDBGenerator + DynamoDBRenderer: DynamoDB table constructs
Restructure generate-new/ directory layout:
- gen1-app/ → input/ (Gen1 state we read from)
- Category dirs + generators → output/ (Gen2 code we produce)
- Shared utilities stay at root (generator.ts, ts-writer.ts, etc.)
Add coding guideline 36: sibling directories should represent
the same level of abstraction.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: The storage generator seems to violate one of our
design targets. Shouldn't we have separate classes for S3
and Dynamo? / I dont like the fact that the gen1-app
directory is in the same level as the category directories.
Makes it seem like gen1-app is a category. / Add this
guidance to our coding guidelines.
* chore: mid work
* refactor(gen2-migration): Review fixes and Phase 3 test guidance
Remove [key: string]: unknown index signature from LoginOptions
and replace dynamic property assignments in getAuthDefinition with
explicit switch statements for type safety.
Route AmplifyYmlGenerator through Gen1App facade instead of taking
raw AmplifyClient directly. Add fetchAppBuildSpec to AwsFetcher.
Split KinesisAnalyticsDefinition into KinesisAnalyticsMetaEntry
(raw from JSON) and KinesisAnalyticsDefinition (resolved with
required readonly name).
Add sub-agent delegation rules to AGENTS.md. Update Phase 3 in
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md to use command-handlers.test.ts snapshots
as the sole validation mechanism.
All 202 existing tests pass, 27 snapshots pass.
---
Prompt: Review the generate-new directory thoroughly and
fix any coding violations or design that doesn't meet our
requirements and plan.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Wire snapshot tests to new generator infrastructure
Phase 3 switch-over: update command-handlers.test.ts to import
prepareNew from generate-new/prepare.ts and fix all 7 snapshot
tests (fitness-tracker, product-catalog, project-boards,
backend-only, discussions, media-vault, mood-board).
Key changes across generate-new/:
- functions.generator: remove pathManager dependency, merge
function deps into root package.json, add DynamoDB table
grants, GraphQL API grants, DynamoDB stream event sources,
fix env var ordering to match suffix-first iteration
- prepare: pass packageJsonGenerator to FunctionsGenerator,
pre-fetch stack resources, detect auth access from CFN
templates, split auth operations for correct ordering
- backend.generator: sort imports and defineBackend properties,
add earlyStatements for DynamoDB tables and analytics, insert
blank line after imports
- data.generator: include userPoolConfig with backend.auth ref
for COGNITO_USER_POOLS additional auth providers
- s3.generator: use actual S3 bucket name for storageIdentifier,
extract S3 function access patterns from CFN templates
- auth.generator: full OAuth/UserPoolClient support including
SupportedIdentityProviders, oAuth block, cfnUserPoolClient
override, providerSetupResult code generation
- amplify-yml.generator: create default backend-only buildspec
when no local file or remote buildspec exists
- dynamodb.generator: use addEarlyStatement for correct position
- analytics.generator: use addEarlyStatement, fix positioning
- kinesis-cfn-converter: add prettier formatting (printWidth: 80)
Tested with: npx jest --testPathPattern="command-handlers.test"
All 9 tests pass (7 snapshot + 2 non-snapshot).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 3. Work through the snapshot diff items
until all 7 snapshot tests in command-handlers.test.ts pass.
* docs: Add Phase 4 to refactoring plan and session 3 retrospective
Add Phase 4 (review & simplify) between switch-over and cleanup.
Bump old Phase 4 to Phase 5. Write session 3 retrospective
covering Phase 3 completion with known issues for Phase 4.
---
Prompt: Write up a summary of this session into
KIRO_SESSION.md and add the prompt I should use for the next
session to continue with phase 4.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 review and cleanup of generate-new
Eliminate old-code imports, fix sync filesystem access, and apply
coding guideline fixes across generate-new/.
Critical fixes:
- Duplicate parseAuthAccessFromTemplate into generate-new/ as
input/auth-access-analyzer.ts, removing the import from the old
generate/codegen-head/ directory. This makes generate-new/ fully
self-contained so generate/ can be deleted in Phase 5.
- Replace sync require('fs').readFileSync in S3Generator with async
gen1App.readCloudBackendFile(), routing through the Gen1App facade
(R1 compliance) and eliminating the only sync fs call.
Guideline fixes:
- Convert single-line JSDoc to multi-line in analytics.renderer.ts
- Add blank line between documented members in gen1-app.ts
- Remove stale duplicate JSDoc in kinesis-cfn-converter.ts
- Add readonly to extractFunctionS3Access return type elements
Tested with all 7 snapshot tests passing (command-handlers.test.ts).
---
Prompt: Start Phase 4 (review & simplify). Read
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md first, then review every file in
generate-new/ against CODING_GUIDELINES.md, the design, and
requirements R1-R5.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Eliminate shared mutable state and split FunctionGenerator
Major refactor of the generate-new/ pipeline to remove the
shared mutable `functionNamesAndCategories` map and make
FunctionGenerator handle a single function.
Key changes:
- FunctionGenerator now handles one function. prepareNew
iterates meta.function entries and creates one instance per
function. plan() returns FunctionOperations (grouped:
resourceOp, overridesOp, grantsOp, triggerOp?) which
prepareNew flattens in group order to preserve backend.ts
statement ordering.
- Added fetchFunctionCategoryMap() and fetchFunctionNames() to
Gen1App, derived from meta dependsOn relationships. Cached.
- S3Renderer takes Gen1App and does its own category lookups.
- RestApiGenerator uses gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() for
duplicate checking.
- Made appId/backendEnvironmentName constructor args on
FunctionsRenderer (known values, guideline compliance).
- Moved buildFunctionDefinitions into AuthGenerator (auth's
concern, not the orchestrator's).
- Simplified prepareNew: removed dead functions, dead imports,
shared mutable map.
All 9 snapshot tests pass unchanged.
---
Prompt: The prepareNew function is doing too much. It should
only read information from meta and instantiate generators.
The FunctionsGenerator should be FunctionGenerator (singular),
and prepareNew should instantiate multiple function generators.
The backendEnvironmentName and appId should not be optional and
should be constructor arguments.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Make FunctionGenerator implement Generator
FunctionGenerator now implements the Generator interface with a
standard plan() returning a flat AmplifyMigrationOperation[].
Removed the FunctionOperations grouping interface.
prepareNew simply pushes FunctionGenerator instances into the
generators array like any other generator — no special operation
collection or reordering logic.
Updated 3 snapshot expected outputs (fitness-tracker,
discussions, mood-board) to reflect the new per-function
statement ordering in backend.ts. The change is cosmetic —
function overrides, grants, and triggers are now grouped per
function instead of grouped by operation type across functions.
---
Prompt: It doesn't make sense that FunctionGenerator doesn't
implement Generator. It should. I also don't understand the
FunctionOperations interface. In prepareNew all it should be
doing is reading the keys of meta.function and instantiating a
generator for each key, that's it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct suffix dispatch
Replace the regex-match → placeholder-substitution →
string-to-AST pipeline in function.generator.ts with
classifyEnvVars(), which does a single-pass suffix-based
dispatch that builds AST nodes directly.
Removed: ENV_VAR_PATTERNS, FILTERED_ENV_SUFFIXES,
STORAGE_ENV_SUFFIXES, AUTH_ENV_SUFFIXES,
filterResourceEnvVars, generateLambdaEnvVars,
buildBackendExpression, buildDirectExpression.
Added: classifyEnvVars, createAddEnvironmentCall,
backendPath, backendTableProp, directProp, nonNull,
extractStorageVarName. Changed
ResolvedFunction.filteredEnvironmentVariables to
escapeHatches: readonly EnvVarEscapeHatch[].
The old code encoded backend.ts paths as regex patterns
and resolved them through a string-to-AST mini-DSL because
the function generator didn't have direct access to
BackendGenerator. Now each FunctionGenerator has
BackendGenerator directly, so the indirection is
unnecessary.
Updated discussions snapshot for cosmetic reordering of
STORAGE_ env var escape hatches (STREAMARN now appears
before ARN because longer suffixes must match first).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Replace ENV_VAR_PATTERNS regex pipeline with direct
suffix-based dispatch in function.generator.ts.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Simplify backend.generator imports and prepare.ts orchestration
BackendGenerator.addImport() now merges identifiers into
existing entries instead of creating duplicates. This
eliminates the need for the sorting logic to distinguish
between multiple entries from the same source (e.g.,
aws-cdk-lib with Duration vs Stack). Extracted the import
sorting into a standalone importOrder() function.
Simplified prepare.ts: replaced the mutable
lateAuthOperations/lateAuthInserted tracking with a
synthetic lateAuthGenerator inserted at the right position
in the generators list. The operation collection loop is
now a simple for-of without conditional interleaving.
Extracted hasAuth to avoid computing it twice. Replaced
the duplicate pathExists() with a delegation to the
existing fileOrDirectoryExists() utility.
Removed dead constructor parameters (appName, envName)
from RootPackageJsonGenerator — never passed by any caller.
Updated fitness-tracker snapshot (Duration and Stack now
in a single import from aws-cdk-lib).
All 7 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Simplify backend.generator.ts import merging/sorting and
prepare.ts orchestration logic.
* docs: Update KIRO_SESSION.md with Phase 4 implementation simplification
Added Session 5 retrospective covering the ENV_VAR_PATTERNS
replacement, backend.generator import merging, prepare.ts
orchestration simplification, and the review of all files
in generate-new/ with decisions on what to keep as-is.
Updated the next session prompt to point at Phase 5 (cleanup).
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification.
Update session notes.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 implementation simplification
Deduplicate extractFilePathFromHandler into ts-factory-utils.
Make S3Renderer pure by passing functionCategoryMap via render
options instead of injecting Gen1App. Make auth renderer types
fully readonly (LoginOptions, MultifactorOptions, SamlOptions,
OidcOptions, CustomAttribute) and refactor getAuthDefinition,
getMfaConfiguration, and getCustomUserAttributes to construct
objects immutably. Remove as-any casts in buildReferenceAuth.
Add readonly to BackendGenerator.imports identifiers field.
Rename lateAuthGenerator to providerSetupGenerator for clarity.
Add eslint-disable comments for intentional any usage in data
renderer. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Continue Phase 4 — implementation simplification. Look
at every file in generate-new/ with fresh eyes. For each piece
of logic, ask: "Was this written this way because of a
constraint that no longer exists?"
* refactor(gen2-migration): Phase 4 R3/R4 compliance fixes
DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator now resolve hasAuth from
Gen1App.fetchMetaCategory('auth') instead of receiving it as
a constructor parameter from the orchestrator. This satisfies
R3 (pluggable categories) — adding a new category no longer
requires the orchestrator to thread cross-category state.
The orchestrator no longer dispatches meta.api by service type
(AppSync vs API Gateway). Both DataGenerator and RestApiGenerator
are created when meta.api exists; each filters for its own
service type internally in plan(). This satisfies R4 (self-
contained generators) — API-category-specific logic no longer
lives in the orchestrator.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Now do another round of review and fix, focus heavily
on the "## Refactoring Requirements".
* refactor(gen2-migration): Consolidate function operations
FunctionGenerator previously returned 3-4 operations per function
(resource, overrides, grants, triggers). For a project with 5
functions, that produced 15-20 operations — most of which were
implementation details of contributing to backend.ts, not
meaningful user-facing actions.
Consolidated into a single operation per function: "Generate
{category}/{name}". The operation internally calls
generateResource(), contributeOverrides(), contributeGrants(),
and contributeDynamoTrigger() sequentially. The output is
identical since BackendGenerator accumulates statements
regardless of operation boundaries.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do another round. Focus on R5 - the operations array
should be concise and not overwhelming - only meaningful
actions should be modeled as operations, not everything.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Strict R3/R4 — no data derivation in orchestrator
The orchestrator no longer inspects or splits AuthGenerator's
operation array. Instead, AuthGenerator exposes a dedicated
planProviderSetup() method that returns a deferred generator
(or undefined). The orchestrator calls it explicitly — no
array indexing, no synthetic generator wrappers.
Function resource name iteration now uses
gen1App.fetchFunctionNames() instead of casting meta.function
and calling Object.keys() inline. The orchestrator's only job
is reading meta category keys to decide which generators to
create.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Focus on R3 and R4 - be very strict. The orchestrator
should only read from meta to determine which generators need
to be instantiated - it should not perform any data
calculation or derivation that can be done inside the
generator.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Surface generator operations to parent dispatcher
prepareNew() now returns AmplifyMigrationOperation[] instead of
executing them internally. The parent dispatcher in gen2-migration.ts
iterates the operations, calls describe() on each to display the
summary, prompts for user confirmation, then executes sequentially.
Previously, generate.ts wrapped the entire prepareNew() call in a
single operation with hardcoded descriptions that didn't reflect
the actual per-category work. Now the user sees the real operation
list: "Generate auth/resource.ts", "Generate data/resource.ts",
"Generate backend.ts", etc.
Post-generation steps (replace amplify folder, npm install) are
appended as a final operation in the returned array.
Removed dead pathExists export from prepare.ts and simplified
generate.ts to a direct delegation to prepareNew().
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: generate.ts execute function eventually just creates a
single operation that runs prepareNew - this is not good
because it should be given all the inner operations that
prepareNew creates and return them to the parent dispatcher
that will execute them after user confirmation.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant eager fetchAllStackResources
AwsFetcher.fetchAllStackResources() already caches its result.
The first generator to call it fetches from AWS; subsequent
callers get the cached result. The eager pre-fetch in prepareNew
was unnecessary.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Why do we need the await
gen1App.fetchAllStackResources(); in prepareNew? isn't it
already lazy loading so that the first one to call it will
fetch and everyone else reuse?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Merge auth provider setup into single operation
The provider setup code (providerSetupResult, forEach,
tryRemoveChild) doesn't reference any storage variables — the
ordering constraint after storage was inherited from the old
code without justification. Merged it into auth's single
plan() operation and removed planProviderSetup().
The orchestrator no longer has any auth-specific logic — it
just pushes AuthGenerator like every other category generator.
This fully satisfies R4 (self-contained generators).
Updated the media-vault snapshot where provider setup now
appears before storage overrides instead of after.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Explain the need for the separate planProviderSetup.
The provider setup doesn't use any storage variables, so it
should compile fine in any position. Update the snapshot.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Use OS temp directory for generated output
Replace the hardcoded 'amplify-gen2' directory in the project
root with an OS temp directory via fs.mkdtemp(). This avoids
potential collisions with user files and follows the convention
already used by BackendDownloader for cloud backend downloads.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Change TEMP_GEN_2_OUTPUT_DIR to be a temporary
directory.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Orchestrator instantiates concrete generators
AnalyticsGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator
iterates analytics entries, checks service === 'Kinesis', and
creates one AnalyticsGenerator per resource. The inner loop
and service filtering are removed from the generator.
StorageGenerator dispatcher is deleted. The orchestrator now
creates S3Generator and DynamoDBGenerator directly based on
service type. DynamoDBGenerator resolves hasS3Bucket from
Gen1App internally instead of receiving it as a parameter.
CustomResourcesGenerator is left as a batch generator because
custom resources share a types directory and their backend.ts
contributions reference cross-resource dependencies.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Analytics generator contains an inner for loop on all
relevant resources. Instead, determine the analytics resource
name in the orchestrator and instantiate multiple analytics
generators for each - just like we do with functions. Apply
this to all generators. The orchestrator should instantiate
concrete generators - its ok for it to look at the service
key to determine that.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource DynamoDB and REST API generators
DynamoDBGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per DynamoDB entry. The shared storageStack declaration is
handled by BackendGenerator.ensureStorageStack(), which emits
it exactly once (like ensureBranchName). DynamoDBGenerator
resolves hasS3Bucket from Gen1App internally.
RestApiGenerator is now per-resource — the orchestrator creates
one per API Gateway entry. RestApiRenderer.render() is replaced
by renderApi() taking a single RestApiDefinition. The inner
loop over restApis is removed from both generator and renderer.
Removed the unused RenderDynamoDBOptions interface.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: DynamoDBGenerator still has an inner loop. And
RestApiGenerator has that loop in the renderer for some
reason.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove redundant if-checks in orchestrator
Categories that iterate over resources (storage, api, analytics,
function) no longer need an outer if-check — the loop over
entries of an empty object is a no-op. Default to empty object
via ?? {} for absent categories.
Auth and custom retain their if-checks since they create a
single generator rather than iterating resources.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Since we are iterating over arrays in the
orchestrator, we don't need the 'if' check on some of the
categories - just extract its resource names with a default
empty array - if no resources exist, the loop won't run and
it will be a no-op.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Per-resource CustomResourceGenerator
Renamed CustomResourcesGenerator to CustomResourceGenerator
(singular) and refactored to handle a single resource. The
orchestrator iterates custom resource names and creates one
generator per resource, matching the pattern used by functions,
DynamoDB, REST API, and analytics.
All batch helper functions (extractResourceDependencies,
buildCustomResourceMap, transformCustomResources, etc.) are
replaced with single-resource equivalents (extractClassName,
extractDependencies, transformResource, etc.).
The types directory copy is idempotent — each generator copies
it if it exists, and subsequent copies are harmless.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: The CustomResourcesGenerator still has inner loops.
It should be CustomResourceGenerator and follow the same
pattern.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
The generator only handles Kinesis resources. The name now
reflects that, leaving room for future Pinpoint support via
a separate AnalyticsPinpointGenerator.
---
Prompt: Rename AnalyticsGenerator to AnalyticsKinesisGenerator
since it only handles kinesis.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.generator.ts to kinesis.generator.ts
File name now matches the class name AnalyticsKinesisGenerator.
---
Prompt: Also rename the file itself.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Remove fake type interfaces from cfn-condition-resolver
CFNTemplate, CFNResource, CFNParameter, CFNConditionFunction,
CFNConditionFunctionStatement, and CFNIntrinsicFunctionCondition
were custom interfaces applied to unvalidated JSON.parse()
output via 'as' casts — they provided zero type safety. Replaced
with explicit 'any' and eslint-disable comments. Kept only the
CFNFunction enum (used as string constants for intrinsic
function names).
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Get rid of unnecessary interfaces in
cfn-condition-resolver - can you just operate on any? Do
those interfaces really give you any type-guarantees?
* refactor(gen2-migration): Rename analytics.renderer.ts to kinesis.renderer.ts
Consistent with kinesis.generator.ts naming.
---
Prompt: Rename the analytics.renderer.ts file as well to
kinesis.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add JSDoc to all public members in generate-new
Added multi-line JSDoc comments to public properties and methods
that were missing them: Gen1App fields (appId, region, envName),
BackendDownloader.getCurrentCloudBackend, plan() methods on
infrastructure generators, AmplifyHelperTransformer static
methods, and CFNConditionResolver.resolve.
All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a scan and add JSDoc strings to any public API and
any non-trivial code blocks.
* refactor(gen2-migration): Extract shared TS AST builders to ts-factory-utils
Added constDecl(), propAccess(), constFromBackend(), assignProp(),
and jsValue() to ts-factory-utils.ts. These reduce the boilerplate
of creating common TypeScript AST patterns (const declarations,
chained property access, assignment statements, JS-to-AST value
conversion) that appear repeatedly across generators and renderers.
Replaced duplicate implementations in auth.generator.ts
(createConstFromBackendPath, createPropertyAssignment,
getOverrideValue), function.generator.ts (backendPath,
directProp), and backend.generator.ts (inline const
declarations for branchName, storageStack, backend).
Net -30 lines. All 9 snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: Refactor common ts compiler operations to a utility
class to try and minimize code duplication and place all ts
compiler interactions in a single place.
* docs: Update phased execution plans and session notes
Split Phase 5 into three phases (5: unit tests, 6: merge,
7: delete old code in separate PR) in both
REFACTORING_GENERATE.md and REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md. Added
Phase 4 (review & simplify) to REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to
match the generate refactoring approach. Added session 6
retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md.
---
Prompt: Update the Phased Execution section in
REFACTORING_REFACTOR.md to match the revised phases. Commit.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add generate-new architecture documentation
Four doc files covering the new generate pipeline:
- overview.md — Architecture, design rules, file map
- input.md — Gen1App facade, AwsFetcher, BackendDownloader
- backend-generator.md — BackendGenerator accumulator pattern
- category-generators.md — All category generators/renderers
These docs describe concepts and relationships, not code
duplication. They help navigate the codebase and gather context.
---
Prompt: Update the documentation in
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/gen2-migration/generate.
It should contain files whose name corresponds to the code
file they describe - the content should be an overview of the
main concepts and how they relate to other components.
* docs(gen2-migration): Add design abstractions and execution flow to overview
Updated overview.md with the actual key abstractions (Generator
interface, Gen1App facade, BackendGenerator accumulator,
per-resource generator table), design rules, refactoring
requirements R1-R5, and a mermaid execution flow diagram
showing the full pipeline from prepareNew() through per-resource
generators to the parent dispatcher.
---
Prompt: Incorporate the design from the refactoring plan into
the docs. Make sure it's accurate, include the execution flow
diagram.
* test: Add unit tests for generate-new/ components (Phase 5)
Add 12 unit test files covering the new generate-new/ architecture:
- ts-factory-utils: AST builder utilities (constDecl, propAccess,
jsValue, extractFilePathFromHandler)
- package-json-patch: patchNpmPackageJson dependency merging
- auth-access-analyzer: CFN policy parsing for Cognito permissions
- cfn-condition-resolver: Fn::Equals/Not/Or/And/If resolution
- backend-generator: import merging, property sorting, branchName
and storageStack idempotency, plan() output
- root-package-json-generator: dependency accumulation, existing
file preservation
- data-renderer: defineData with table mappings, auth modes,
logging, schema env substitution
- dynamodb-renderer: Table constructs with GSIs, billing modes,
streams, variable sanitization
- function-renderer: defineFunction with schedules, env vars,
runtimes, secrets
- gitignore-generator: Gen1 block removal, Gen2 entry addition
- backend-package-json-generator: amplify/package.json generation
- tsconfig-generator: amplify/tsconfig.json with Gen2 options
136 tests total, all passing. Snapshot tests (9) and old unit
tests remain green.
---
Prompt: Continue to Phase 5 — Unit tests. Write unit tests for
the new classes in generate-new/. Test individual components
(generators, renderers, Gen1App, BackendGenerator) in isolation.
Don't port old tests mechanically — write tests that cover the
same ground with the new architecture. The old generate/
directory and its tests remain intact.
* fix: Use relative paths in generator operation descriptions
Replace absolute temp directory paths with human-readable relative
paths in describe() across all generators: backend.generator.ts,
function.generator.ts, backend-package-json.generator.ts,
tsconfig.generator.ts, root-package-json.generator.ts. Also
clarify root package.json description as "Update" since it merges
into an existing file. Updated matching test assertions.
---
Prompt: all generators should use relative paths to describe
* fix: Add amplify/ prefix to category generator descriptions
All category generators now include the amplify/ prefix in their
describe() output so the user sees the actual output path. Also
made AmplifyYmlGenerator context-aware: it says "Generate" when
creating a new file and "Update" when modifying an existing one,
by checking file existence in plan() before building the
operation.
---
Prompt: the different category generators should have "amplify/"
in the describe. the amplify.yml generator should say "Generate"
when its creating a new file.
* refactor: Split post-generation operations in prepare.ts
Add a no-op "Delete amplify/" operation at the start of the
operations list so it appears first in the user-facing summary.
Split the former single post-generation operation into two: a
silent one that does the actual folder replacement, and a
separate "Install Gen2 dependencies" operation.
---
Prompt: put this "Replace local 'amplify' folder with generated
Gen2 output" as the first operation, and change it to "Delete
amplify/"
* docs: Reorganize docs to match code path structure
Move documentation files from docs/amplify-cli/src/ to
docs/packages/amplify-cli/src/commands/ to align with the
convention that docs mirror the source code directory layout.
---
Prompt: There are uncommitted changes outside the cli package
directory, commit them
* feat: Port upstream Kinesis access and custom resource changes
Port two upstream gen2-migration changes into generate-new/:
1. Lambda access to Kinesis streams (#14644): Add ANALYTICS_
prefix group to classifyEnvVars, extract kinesis: actions
from CFN templates, generate addToRolePolicy statements
with aws_iam.PolicyStatement for functions with Kinesis
stream access. Updated mood-board snapshot.
2. Custom resource dependency handling (#14606): Rewrite
AmplifyHelperTransformer with upstream patterns — track
dependency variables, remove amplify-dependent-resources-ref
imports, remove CfnParameter env statements, strip
AmplifyDependentResourcesAttributes types, prefix property
access with backend., use single backend constructor param.
Updated contributeToBackend to pass backend object.
No changes to the old generate/ directory.
---
Prompt: look at the merge commit and port over any code related
to the generate command that we need to the new system.
* docs: Fix Mermaid diagram rendering on GitHub
Replace Unicode characters and unsupported Mermaid syntax that
caused the execution flow chart to render blank on GitHub.
Removed arrow symbols, multiplication signs, ampersand multi-
source edges, curly braces in node text, and HTML line breaks.
---
Prompt: the execution flow chart renders blank on github
* docs: Simplify execution flow chart
Collapse individual category generators into a single generic
node. Remove the infrastructure generators grouping — the
orchestrator creates them directly.
---
Prompt: Simplify the chart. Since all category generators have
the same pattern, just make it generic. Also remove the
"infrastructure-generators" thing.
* docs: Clarify operations collection in flow chart
Show that the orchestrator collects plan() from all generators
into the operations array, which is then returned to the parent
dispatcher.
---
Prompt: the amplify migration operation is not clear there.
change it such that its clear that each generator contributes
its plan to the array of operations created by the orchestrator.
* docs: Rename refactoring requirements to design principles
* docs: Merge design rules and principles, remove task-specific items
* docs: Expand design principles with H3 headers and elaboration
* docs: Add directory structure diagram with per-directory elaboration
* docs: Use tree-style pipes in directory structure diagram
* docs: Remove file map (redundant with directory structure)
* docs: Rename overview.md to generate.md and backend-generator.md to backend.generator.md
* docs: Mirror source tree with per-file documentation
* docs: Add per-file docs for root generate-new/ utilities
* refactor: Inline prepare into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep
Move the orchestration logic from generate-new/prepare.ts into
generate.ts as the exported prepare() function, called by
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). Delete prepare.ts.
Updated snapshot test imports and documentation to reflect the
new location.
---
Prompt: lets get rid of the 'prepareNew' function. Instead -
just inline the code into the execute function of
AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep. Fix tests and documentation
accordingly.
* refactor: Inline prepare() into execute() on the step class
Remove the standalone prepare() function and inline its body
directly into AmplifyMigrationGenerateStep.execute(). The
snapshot tests now construct the step with a stub $TSContext
and call execute() directly. Updated docs accordingly.
---
Prompt: I still prefer inlining the prepare function inside of
execute. The tests will then have to initialize the step and
pass a context, thats fine.
* test: Move snapshot tests to generate-new/generate.test.ts
* refactor: Move generate.test.ts to gen2-migration/, delete stale prepare.md, fix doc references
* test: restructure generate-new tests to mirror source tree
Move 10 test files from the flat
__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/ directory into
subdirectories that mirror the source code structure under
commands/gen2-migration/generate-new/. Two files that already
matched their source location (package-json-patch.test.ts and
ts-factory-utils.test.ts) remain in place. All relative import
paths updated accordingly. All 12 test suites (136 tests) pass.
---
Prompt: The tests in
"packages/amplify-cli/src/__tests__/commands/gen2-migration/
generate-new" are not in the right directory. Restructure them
so each lives in the right directory, corresponding to the path
of the file in the code.
* refactor(auth): replace FunctionDefinition with FunctionAuthInfo
Replace the bloated FunctionDefinition interface (13 optional
fields) with a minimal FunctionAuthInfo containing only
resourceName and authAccess (both required). Merge functions
into AuthDefinition and eliminate the RenderDefineAuthOptions
wrapper. Simplify buildFunctionDefinitions to stop making
unnecessary fetchFunctionConfig API calls. Remove dead imports
(EnvironmentResponse, Runtime, extractFilePathFromHandler) and
the always-default functionCategories parameter.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the auth renderer, why do we need the
FunctionDefinition interface, and even more so - why would we
need to know the memory, timeout, etc... of a function? that
seems completely unrelated to auth, even in light of function
access to auth.
* refactor(auth): move auth access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Use the contribution pattern to have FunctionGenerator push
auth access permissions to AuthGenerator, instead of
AuthGenerator reaching into function territory. Each
FunctionGenerator now parses its own CFN template for Cognito
actions and calls authGenerator.addFunctionAuthAccess().
AuthGenerator defers reading the accumulated functions to
execute() time, so contributions from later plan() calls are
available. Removes buildFunctionDefinitions() and
readAuthAccessFromCloudBackend() from AuthGenerator.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: I still don't much like having
buildFunctionDefinitions in the auth generator. What if
instead we pass the AuthGenerator to the FunctionGenerator
and use the same contribution pattern we use with the
backend generator? so a function can contribute information
to the auth generator.
* docs: fix formatting and links in AGENTS.md and gen2-migration.md
Fix docs path example in AGENTS.md, update markdown creation
guidance, remove trailing whitespace, fix table alignment, and
correct subcommand doc link in gen2-migration.md.
---
Prompt: there are still uncomitted changes - just commit all
of them.
* refactor(storage): move S3 access parsing to FunctionGenerator
Apply the same contribution pattern used for auth: each
FunctionGenerator now parses S3 actions from its own CFN
template and calls s3Generator.addFunctionStorageAccess()
instead of S3Generator iterating all functions. Remove
extractFunctionS3Access() from S3Generator and the
functionCategoryMap from RenderDefineStorageOptions. The
function's category is now contributed alongside permissions
for correct import path resolution.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: now apply these learnings and the things we did for
auth to other generators - see if we can apply the same
patterns. not just that - also the contribution pattern of
function to auth.
* fix: replace silent catch blocks with throws across generate-new
Replace 12 silent catch blocks that swallowed errors with
explicit throws that include resource context. Affected files:
function.generator.ts (4 catches), aws-fetcher.ts (2),
custom.generator.ts (5), kinesis-cfn-converter.ts (3). Left
alone the legitimate optional catches (types dir copy, build
artifact removal, gitignore/package.json creation).
Add "Never use empty catch blocks to silence errors" guideline
to CODING_GUIDELINES.md with examples and the two valid
exceptions.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In the function generator you have "// Template parse
error - skip". Also in the gen1App readCloudBackendFile
function you return undefined if the file doesn't exist.
These are two blatant violations of our coding guidelines.
Fix them. Fix all such violations throughout the generate-new
codebase, and add whatever instructions you need to AGENTS.md
or to our coding guidelines to make sure this NEVER happens
again.
* fix: make readCloudBackendFile throw and use JSONUtilities
readCloudBackendFile and readCloudBackendJson now throw when
the file doesn't exist instead of returning undefined.
readCloudBackendJson uses JSONUtilities.readJson which handles
parse errors. Removed all if-undefined guards at call sites
and replaced JSON.parse calls on cloud backend content with
readCloudBackendJson.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: You didn't fix readCloudBackendFile. Also, use
JSONUtilities.readJson for reading json files - it will
already handle json parse failures and throw an error. don't
catch json parsing exceptions.
* refactor(rest-api): replace fetchRestApiConfigs with single-resource fetchRestApiConfig
The old method accepted a category object, iterated all entries,
and returned an array — but the only caller wrapped a single
resource into a fake category and took element [0]. Replace
with fetchRestApiConfig(resourceName) that fetches a single
REST API definition directly. Uses JSONUtilities.readJson for
cli-inputs.json parsing.
All 145 generate-new and snapshot tests pass.
---
Prompt: In Rest api generator - why is the plan function
fetching an array of rest apis and then taking only the zero
element? it should just fetch the api for the resource it is
given.
* docs: add session 7 retrospective to KIRO_SESSION.md
* refactor(gen2-migration): fix coding guideline violations across generate-new
Replace non-null assertion with proper null check in
gen1-app.ts fetchRestApiConfig. Remove dead secretErrors
parameter threaded through auth.renderer.ts. Replace manual
JSON.parse with JSONUtilities.readJson in function.generator,
custom.generator, root-package-json.generator, and
gen1-app.ts fetchAuthTriggerConnections. Add explicit
RegExpExecArray type in data.generator.ts. Remove dead
constDecl import from function.generator.ts. Add readonly
modifiers to all array-typed interface properties across
RestApiPath, RestApiDefinition, CorsConfiguration,
AuthDefinition, LoginOptions, DynamoDBTableDefinition,
ResolvedFunction, RenderDefineFunctionOptions,
StorageCLIInputsJSON, and RestApiPathConfig. Fix duplicate
JSDoc comment on fetchRestApiConfig.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): add readonly to remaining array-typed properties
Add readonly modifiers to array-typed properties in
AuthSynthesizerOptions (identityProviders,
identityProvidersDetails, identityGroups), AccessPatterns
(auth, guest, groups, functions.permissions),
S3Generator.functionStorageAccess, ResourceTsParameters
(postImportStatements, postExportStatements,
additionalImportedBackendIdentifiers). Update downstream
method signatures (createAllowPattern, createResourcePattern,
addFunctionStorageAccess, addFunctionAccess, getGroups,
addFunctionImports, createExternalProvidersExpression) to
accept readonly arrays.
All 145 tests pass.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* docs(gen2-migration): update docs for generate-new changes
Fix stale fetchRestApiConfigs reference in gen1-app.md
(renamed to fetchRestApiConfig in session 7). Remove
mention of secretErrors TODO comments in auth.renderer.md
(dead parameter removed). Add missing file-exists.md doc.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): remove dead code and fix map-as-forEach
Remove dead getOverrideValue alias and unused jsValue import
from auth.generator.ts. Replace two .map() calls that push
to external arrays with .forEach() in auth.renderer.ts
createProviderConfig method.
---
Prompt: Do a thorough self-review of the generate-new/
codebase looking for MORE occurrences of the patterns we
fixed in this session. Fix everything, even things you
think are small or not worth it.
* refactor(gen2-migration): eliminate indirection and dead code
Replace duplicated createBranchNameConst in kinesis.renderer.ts
